Getting out to the countryside is a treat on its own – add some rescued horses (there's an on-site horse sanctuary) and a 400-acre estate to roam, and we are sold. This cosy home sits on the Broads National Park border, which boasts over 125 miles of tranquil rivers and lakes that you can explore. Fritton Lake is a six-minute drive or a thirty-minute walk – spend a day out kayaking, or head out to the Norfolk beaches – Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth are both around twenty minutes in the car. When you return, this home will greet you like a hot cup of cocoa – the muted wall colours are soothing. Whip up some dinner with some fresh, local Norfolk produce and enjoy the fruits of your labour at the dining table. This place is ideal for a family – there are board games aplenty to keep everyone occupied. The master bedroom even has a jacuzzi-style bath, inviting you to have a soak after a long country walk.

About The Broads
Straddling both Norfolk and Suffolk, The Broads now house over a quarter of the UK’s rarest animals and plants, with water voles, cuckoos and European eel all found among its habitats. Yet the winding rivers and broads haven’t always been here – they were created in the Middle Ages when peat workings were flooded.
