This 150-year-old cottage is the perfect place to unwind and explore the corners of the Norfolk countryside that have barely changed in that century-and-a-half. At first glance, you're sure to notice the period features including wooden beams and narrow doorways, but this home has been lovingly brought up to date with plush furnishings and warm spotlights. The kitchen, too, feels decidedly contemporary with its Sonos speaker and Nespresso machine. Climb the ornate spiral staircase to the bedrooms, all of which enjoy green garden views, and clock the freestanding rolltop tub in the bathroom. After a day hiking across the fens, curl up in the cosy living room in front of the wood-burning stove, or retreat to the oak gazebo in the garden for drinks under the festoon lights — there's even heating here for when the weather turns chillier. Nestled in north Norfolk, you're a short drive from the historic market town of Fakenham, but it's also possible to drive to the coast for a day on the beach — Cromer is just forty-five minutes away.

Home truths
There's private parking for up to two cars in front of the cottage
This is a period home with several low doorways and slanted ceilings in some of the bedrooms, so taller guests should take care
This home is close to a main road, so there may be some traffic noise at busier times of the day
The bedrooms are accessed via the narrow spiral staircase, so be careful carrying luggage up — this also means it might not be suitable for guests with limited mobility
