The Bungalow

About this property

The Bungalow is a well-appointed cottage settled in Burgh Castle, Norfolk. Offering a welcoming retreat for families and friends looking to enjoy the county's coastline and countryside, with two woodburning stoves, a pet-friendly setting, generous parking, and a delightful enclosed garden. Arrive via the spacious private driveway and take a moment to appreciate the surrounding rural scenery before stepping inside. The enclosed garden immediately catches the eye, with its lawn, small pond, and sheltered seating area complete with a chiminea, creating a lovely place to spend afternoons outdoors or gather together as the evening draws in. Enter through the porch and kick off muddy boots, hang up coats, and settle into holiday mode before exploring the rest of the property.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/diner, where a woodburning stove adds a welcoming glow as you prepare breakfast before a day of adventure. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, kettle, and toaster, while a TV provides entertainment as meals are prepared. Gather around the dining table to share good food, plan the next day's itinerary, or enjoy a leisurely morning coffee. The sitting room offers another cushy space to spend time together, where a second woodburning stove creates a warm atmosphere on cooler evenings. Sink into the seating with a favourite programme on the Smart TV or open the doors to the garden and let the fresh Norfolk air drift inside.

With views towards the pond and easy access to the outdoor space, this room is ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the area. When sleep calls, retire to one of two bedrooms. The double bedroom benefits from a Smart TV, perfect for a relaxed start to the morning or winding down before bed, while the twin bedroom offers flexible accommodation for children, friends, or additional family members. Completing the layout is a bathroom with a bath and shower over, along with a separate WC for added convenience. For days out, a shop is within easy reach, a traditional pub can be found nearby, and the river lies just a pleasant journey away for scenic walks and waterside views.

Head into Great Yarmouth and spend the day enjoying the sweeping sandy beach, meeting fascinating marine creatures at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth, and taking in the sights and sounds along Britannia Pier. Visit nearby Gorleston-on-Sea, where you can stroll along the attractive promenade, relax on the wide beach, and catch a performance at the Pavilion Theatre. Venture to Norwich, a historic city packed with character, where you can admire the striking architecture of Norwich Cathedral, delve into centuries of history at Norwich Castle, and browse the shops, cafés, and exhibitions housed within The Forum. Whether you're sharing stories beside a crackling woodburning stove, dining beneath the sheltered seating area with the chiminea glowing nearby, or exploring the many attractions of Norfolk, The Bungalow is a wonderful base for your next getaway in Burgh Castle.
