Welcome to the Norfolk Broads! This well-presented, terraced cottage, just outside the pretty waterside village of Horning, has been beautifully refurbished in 2019 to offer contemporary open plan living, comfortably spread over two floors and features a beautiful private patio garden. On the ground floor there is a kitchen and a sociable living and dining area. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and the family shower room. Excellent countryside views can be enjoyed from both front and rear windows.
There is excellent walking with footpaths direct from the doorstep, and a 30-minute stroll or 3-minute drive will take you into the popular village of Horning. The River Bure runs through the village and guests can enjoy relaxing on the riverside, or enjoy the waterside views from one of the many eateries. Sit back and watch the boating activities, or hire a motor launch and explore the miles of waterways. Sailing, motor day boat hire and river trips are available from Horning and Wroxham, and river fishing is available along local waterways (seasonal, licence required). A number of Broadland centres offer bike hire or canoe hire, possibly the most delightful way to discover the lovely reed lined waterways and abundant wildlife.

Nearby How Hill Nature Reserve, with its marsh meadows, dykes, woodland and open water, is well worth exploring. A few minutes away is BeWILDerwood, a magical tree top park which promises children a day to remember. There are excellent, wide sandy beaches at Mundesely, 11 miles, backed with sand dunes.

The north Norfolk coastline has RSPB reserves, coastal path and many picturesque villages which boast pubs and restaurants serving superb locally caught seafood.
