About this property
Located in a picturesque historical conservation area, Church Cottage is an exquisite flint and pantile semi-detached property that boasts uninterrupted views of a magnificent 14th century church, and offers storage for bicycles. Nestled in a peaceful and tranquil setting, this historical village draws visitors from far afield around the year.
Built circa 1750, Church Cottage enjoys an exceptionally peaceful location, with the front door opening directly onto the village churchyard. Sympathetically updated to retain many character features, the cottage is delightfully furnished in a relaxing country cottage style. Entering the cottage via the front entrance porch, guests will instantly feel a warm welcome. With charming original beams, the sumptuous sofas in the dual aspect sitting room are the perfect place to nestle into in front of the inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. A couple of steps lead down to the open-plan kitchen/ dining area. Seating for four guests is provided around an good-sized circular dining table which overlooks the picturesque churchyard. The well-equipped kitchen features a range cooker, and provides access to the courtyard garden. Upstairs, the exquisite spacious master bedroom showcases exposed beams and an exposed brick chimney breast. Boasting church views, this bedroom hosts a double bed, and is served by an en suite bathroom with roll top bath and shower over. Equally inviting bedroom two also provides a double bed with church views, and is served by an en suite shower room. Outside, the cottage benefits from a sunny garden offering a patio seating area, a perfect choice for outside dining during the summer months. Being fully enclosed, the garden is a safe place for supervised children and dogs to play. Storage is available for bicycles, and there is designated parking for one car.
Situated in a conservation area steeped in history, Church Cottage is an ideal choice for couples or a family looking for a peaceful, rural location with excellent local facilities, including a great pub, popular tea room, handy village shop, fish and chip shop and, a little further afield there is a Waitrose in the nearby market town of Swaffham. With beautiful, scenic walks from the doorstep and fascinating historical ruins to explore, there is much to discover.

Mrs B
Very lovely comfortable cottage, in lovely surroundings, our stay for Christmas was made to feel lovely with the Christmas tree and the little extra Christmas decorations. There were a couple of minor things to mention, the description when booking state's there's a TV in both bedrooms, there wasn't one in the second bedroom. And it lacked all the tools for the fire. Not that this in anyway changed our thoughts on the stay we would most definitely return.
