Get away from it all and enjoy tranquillity at this beautiful beamed cottage within easy reach of Norwich, the coast and the famous Norfolk Broads. Nestled in the heart of the Bure Valley, situated alongside the Bure Valley Railway linking Wroxham to Aylsham, where you can safely walk on the designated 9 mile path alongside the railway. You can enjoy excellent walking and explore miles of countryside walks, canoe trails and cycle routes from the door.
This wonderful character property has its own private garden with seating furniture to enjoy. Fully refurnished with contemporary modern furnishings to compliment this charming detached cottage. The popular narrow gauge Bure Valley Railway offers a nostalgic trip by steam running between the historic market town of Aylsham and the bustling town of Wroxham, known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads.
