About this property

Located in the charming village of Welney on the fringes of the Norfolk Fens, this charming, pet-friendly, two-storey cottage offers the perfect bolthole escape for a couple or small family.

Two steps lead from the parking spot into the front entrance of the cottage. Once inside, you’ll find a welcoming lounge/diner and a dining table set for four guests. After a day of sightseeing in the local area, relax in front of the roaring open fire with a glass of wine and a good book. Plush seating and an inviting colour palette make for a warm and inviting space. There’s a separate well-appointed contemporary kitchen and a ground-floor family bathroom. Upstairs, to the front of the cottage, you’ll find a spacious super-king-size bedroom with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage, plus an inviting en-suite with WC. The charming twin bedroom boasts breathtaking views of the countryside. There’s a lovely conservatory where you can sit and while away the time or when the weather permits, enjoy a spot of al fresco dining in the pretty enclosed cottage garden. The property offers private parking for one car plus an additional communal green with a picnic bench.
