  • "What a beautiful cottage!"

    !! Located in a very peaceful & pretty village, the Croft exceeded our expectations in every way. Bright & airy, with the sun blazing in from every angle during our stay, the cottage is also very tastefully furnished, cosy, well equipped & immaculately clean. We used it as a base to explore Norwich; the Broads, incl. Ranworth mere; the North Norfolk coast and the Suffolk coast incl. Sutton Hoo, Aldeburgh & the lost village of Dunwich. Evenings were spent walking out directly on paths & trails in all directions, with sightings of red kite & a little owl among the wildlife. Would recommend without hesitation!

Boasting a fantastic location on the site of the owner’s property, with easy access to the famed Thetford Forest Park and the bustling city of Norwich, The Croft is a wonderful dwelling for couples or a family of four looking to embark on their next adventure to Norfolk.

Park-up in one of two off-road spaces before making your way towards your new home-from-home.

Be welcomed into the spacious kitchen/diner, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, where you can look forward to whipping up flavourful meals for your loved ones ready to enjoy at the dining table for four or alfresco out on the private decking, as you soak up the last of the day’s sunshine.

As the evening grows darker, retire to the plush seating in the sitting room where you can snuggle up in front of the crackling woodburning stove as a much-loved film plays out on the TV.

Freshen up with a shower before choosing from one of two well-presented double bedrooms, one of which has its own en-suite bathroom, ideal for those leisurely morning soaks!

WATTON

Swaffham 10 miles; Thetford 15 miles; Norwich 23 miles.

The well-served market town of Watton is in the district of Breckland, just less than 25 miles from Norwich. Perfectly positioned for access to the whole of Norfolk and North Suffolk, this town is thought to be where the 'Babes in the Wood' were abandoned in Wayland Wood. You will see on the town sign that there are two babes, and a hare jumping over the barrel reflecting the town name; wat being the local dialect word for hare, and ton for barrel. There is a traditional market held every Wednesday morning with produce including freshly caught fish, and there are two supermarkets and a number of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs to enjoy. Within reach is the popular Thetford Forest Park, a number of golf courses, other market towns and not forgetting the cathedral city of Norwich. A convenient base for your Norfolk adventure.

This property has a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100
