Peaceful home close to the Norfolk Broads and the coast - Norwich

We take great pride in our home and have tried to be thoughtful in making it soothing and creative. It is cosy and nurturing with a wood burner, calming colours and nods to nature throughout. We have lots of artwork on the wall; some by local artists and some prints of our travels and past house swaps. We have tried to create a sense of flow throughout the house and a mix of old and new. It may not be the biggest house, and yes it is on an estate, but it is quiet, peaceful and there is a lot of warmth from the local community.

We have a large garden with a vegetable patch, herb garden, a chicken, wildlife ponds and lots of pollinator-friendly plants. There is also a wood store, patio with table and chairs, BBQ and green house.

We have very fast WiFi!

We have two large king-size beds. We love to sleep well and have comfy beds.
