Ticking a multitude of boxes for unforgettable escapes with family and friends, this Norfolk holiday home accommodates up to ten guests in idyllic, peaceful surroundings. The ancient cottage sits in the traditional village of Whissonsett, a charming spot steeped in history and featured in the Domesday Book. From here, you can set off walking in every direction to admire the picturesque scenery of rural Norfolk. The market towns of Fakenham (5 miles) and Dereham (8.5 miles) are both within easy reach, offering a selection of shops, eateries and local attractions. Younger guests will love a day out at ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure (13.5 miles), while the Norfolk Coast (15 miles) promises endless seaside adventures. Begin your coastal explorations from Wells-next-the-Sea, known for its sweeping sandy beach, coastal paths and opportunities to spot seals. The historic city of Norwich, famed for its architecture and heritage, is also well worth a visit, just 23 miles away.


Inside, the property unfolds across two storeys. Original wooden beams nod to the cottage’s heritage, while contemporary design touches bring the interiors firmly into the present day. The spacious entrance hallway provides space to store coats and boots, alongside a convenient shower room. The kitchen is particularly impressive, with parquet flooring and a vast skylight that floods the room with natural light. Well equipped with high-quality appliances, it also features breakfast-bar seating for casual dining. The separate dining room has bi-fold doors to bring the outside in on a warm summer's day and provides space for all ten guests to gather. Two inviting living spaces offer plenty of room to relax: a lounge with a Smart TV and wood burner, and a snug with its own wood burner and a sofa bed that can accommodate two additional guests if required. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a dedicated dog crate room, plus a cosy library with comfortable seating, books to browse and a small bar area. Upstairs, four beautifully presented bedrooms await: a generous super-king-size, a double and two twins. A stylish family bathroom with an elegant slipper bath completes the first floor.


Outside, the delights of this home continue in the garden. The bi-fold doors from the dining room open onto a patio with outdoor furniture for al fresco meals, while a separate tranquillity garden features colourful planting, a soothing water feature, and additional seating areas for relaxing in the sunshine. Private parking for three cars completes the offering.
