Quintessentially British Frankfort, Norfolk

Property Description

With its thatched roof and shuttered windows, you couldn't ask for a cuter cottage than this Grade-II listed address sitting in the middle of a country estate in rural Norfolk.

Although it dates back to the 19th century, the interior is a little more contemporary than you might expect, save for the wooden beams and winding staircase. White walls and framed pictures lend the feel of an art gallery, while the cosy kitchen with a Belfast sink retains a rustic air. And what could be a better way of ending the day than with a long and languorous soak in the freestanding bathtub?

When the weather forecast makes for kind reading, the home has a private patio complete with a hot tub, barbecue and plenty of furniture to help you make the most of it. Alternatively, it doesn't take too long to reach the Norfolk coastline – Sea Palling Beach is twenty minutes' drive away, for instance. The city of Norwich is only half an hour away in the car, too.

Home truths:
*The home is spread over two floors and has a narrow staircase, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility or young children

*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s parking for up to two cars

*An initial supply of logs for the wood-burner is provided
*There are other cottages on the estate that can be booked out at the same time and there's also a wedding venue here
