Step inside this glorious country pile and former Victorian rectory nestled in the wide-open spaces of the Norfolk landscape. The manor's interiors feel bright and revitalising with large windows and high ceilings. There are plenty of communal areas for family and friends to gather, including the colourful library, cosy TV room and playful piano room. The rustic kitchen is fully equipped with modern comforts and everything you'll need to cook up a delicious meal - which can either be served at the kitchen table or in the more formal setting of the dining room, with its magnificent drapes and an exquisite mahogany table. The manor includes six comfortable bedrooms, each equipped with plush bedding and delightfully classic furnishings. Stepping outside, you'll find gorgeous grounds that include a tennis court and rolling fields as well as a barbecue area. Located just a moment's drive from the coast, you can spend a day at Sheringham beach catching some waves or discovering the delightful nearby pubs, shops and cafes. Elsewhere, explore historic National Trust properties, travel back in time onboard a steam train and catch a performance at the Little Theatre.
