The Grounds

Outside, the cottage has pinched over 5 acres of rolling countryside, which it’s dressed in it’s best.

Immaculate formal gardens with manicured lawns and elegant shrub beds lead to a stunning brick weave avenue, illuminated by French-style lights.

The grounds feature an all-weather tennis court with its own raised patio for spectators.

For a moment of peace, head to the fishing lake at the edge of the parkland, where a summer house and pontoon invite you to sit back and soak in the tranquility.

Cast a line on our private fishing lake

At the edge of the parkland you will find our well-stocked private fishing lake – a peaceful spot for a morning’s coarse fishing or a lazy afternoon with a rod. A summer house and pontoon sit right on the water’s edge, so you can fish, unwind and soak up the Norfolk countryside all in one place.

The lake holds a healthy head of carp and other coarse species, making it a firm favourite with guests who love to fish – whether you are a seasoned angler or simply fancy trying your hand. Bring your tackle and settle in; the lake is yours to enjoy throughout your stay.
