Sweeping into the driveway of this period cottage, tucked away in the sleepy Norfolk village of Guestwick, there's a charming olde worlde feel about the place. But don't be fooled by the cute-as-a-button exteriors. Inside, this exquisite home offers modern-day luxury with a double-storey extension that's firmly in the 21st century. Let's start with that made-for-action shaker kitchen with a farmhouse dining table at its heart for lazy breakfasts, afternoon teas, and everything else in between. From here, you can spill out into the living area where there's wood stacked by the fire, books stashed on the shelves, and deep, sumptuous sofas to sink right in. Or slide back the bifold doors and take things outside. The sheltered patio is the perfect spot for golden hour tipples as you drink up the views of the patchwork fields beyond. Meanwhile, little ones and four-legged friends can run about safely on the enclosed lawns. Fancy a change of scenery? There are cycle paths and footpaths aplenty to voyage into the open countryside. Nip along to the charming market town of Reepham (just a four-mile drive away) – its quaint shops and traditional inns are an afternoon well-spent. Or pack up your beach bags and... hit the vast North Norfolk coastline – it's sandy shores are just a scenic half-an-hour drive away.
