Broad House - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Broad House has been finished to an exceptional standard, exploiting the original features of the old cottage including oak flooring and beams to compliment. Reclaimed and refurbished cast iron radiators, timber windows a roll top bath and a period farrow & ball colour scheme.

The modern extension boasts in-keeping contemporary vertical radiators, porcelain polished concrete effect flooring and en suites finished to a modern standard using oxide tiles and black framed shower enclosures.

As you enter the property you meet a light and airy corridor-leading straight to the spacious kitchen dinner.

The kitchen finished in navy blue with solid quartz worktops has everything you would expect, full height 70.30 fridge freezer, integrated oven and combi oven. An induction hob, dishwasher and boiling water tap ensure you have all your home comforts. The breakfast bar seats 4 and the dining table is suited for 8 persons.

The kitchen diner has access to the private and enclosed rear garden via two sets of bi-fold doors. The bi-folds open on to a large patio area which is tiled in the same porcelain as internally, the flush thresholds really bring the outside in and make for a wonderful social space.

The garden contains a new and very fun looking climbing frame for the children and for the adults a six-man hot tub is located on the patio. Also on the patio you will find a set of garden furniture and a gas BBQ. If storage for bikes, toys etc is required there is a sizeable summerhouse at your disposal.

Leading off the kitchen is the utility area, finished in the same style as the kitchen here you can find an additional sink, washing machine and tumble drier. The utility also houses a boot room area for all your coats, shoes and boots.

Moving into the old mill dwellers cottage you will find the lounge with beautiful oak beams and mantle, a lovely cast wood burner for those warm and cosy evenings, cast iron radiators and two large comfortable sofas and two arm chairs will ensure enough seating for everybody. Although a snug room it has the benefit of aspects over the rear garden and the lost broad. The lounge also accommodates the digital TV

The Family Bathroom located on the ground floor has both a bath and a shower, the room is presented in a period correct style boasting floral floor tiles and blended with a contemporary metro tiles cladding the walls. All bath/showrooms have heated towel rails.

Bedroom 2 is equipped with twin beds and bed 3 a double bed plus a contemporary finished en-suite shower room. Being in the new part of the house the finishes have been chosen to compliment this, with modern radiators and light fittings. Both of these bedrooms again are located on the ground floor just off the utility corridor.

Second in size to the master bedroom is bedroom 4, this room has direct access over its own patio via french doors to the private rear garden. A room full of light and plenty of space easily effortlessly accommodates a super king size bed and dressing table, it also has its own dressing area which then leads to the en-suite shower room.

The master bedroom is located on the 1st floor of the old house; in fact it is the entire 1stfloor!! An open stairwell leads you past glass balustrade into the room with four large Georgian bar windows offering a dual aspect - over the broad and overlooking the patio and rear garden. Again period cast iron radiators, deep pile carper, a super king size bed, dressing table and antique chair offer a luxurious feel. The en-suite is home to a large walk in shower with ceiling integrated shower head, his and hers basins and a roll top bath that takes advantage of the views over the old broad. All this is finished in deep avocado wall tiles floor to ceiling and a random monochrome floor tile, you have to see it!

Externally the property offers a small lawn area and bench to the front so the lost broad views can be enjoyed from outside. To the rear, past the garden we have 2 acres of private woodland for you to explore. To the west of the house across the driveway you can find the stream, which if you follow you will see it runs underneath the house! Keep following it and it will take you to the ruin of the old water mill.

The property has a private gated driveway and secure off road parking in designated bays for four vehicles, one of which has a 7KW electric vehicle charging point.

UPDATE - Broad House now has high speed fibre broadband!

Holiday bliss

We had a lovely 3 generation holiday in this spacious well equipped house in a quiet rural location, yet the most we travelled was 25 minutes to beaches, boats & Bewilderwood which was amazing. Hosts easy to contact & responded promptly when we had WiFi issues. Our granddaughters loved the hot tub & climbing frame & all the adults had a relaxing holiday, too. We would love to return.

Great family holiday

We had a great holiday at Broad House. The location is perfect for day trips exploring areas like Wroxham, Cromer, Sheringham etc. But also some walks on the doorstep too. House was very comfortable and lovely to have so many bathrooms and the hot tub! Our 3 year old loved the climbing frame and garden games too. Would definitely book again, thank you.

Beautiful house and garden in a stunning location.

Perfect for a stay in the countryside with a beautiful garden and stunning views. A short drive to the sea and local attractions. One evening we walked to the local pub and had a very good meal. Walking back and we enjoyed a lovely sunset looking across the fields.

Great for family meet ups

Set in a quiet rural location with modern digital comforts our expectations were exceeded. This is a very nice property. The kitchen floor just runs out to the large patio with no step. With the fan fold patio doors open the kitchen and garden becomes one room. The view from master bedroom window over the horse grazing in the distance is sublime. I would definitely use this property again.

Great stay

Great private location, this house has a real country feel. Everything you need in the house, potentially another pot and pan as it caters for quite a large household. Loved the addition of the hot tub and a perfect enclosed garden which is also a good size for the dog. Lots to visit in the local area and not long to travel to north Norfolk or Norwich. Comfy beds, good sized rooms. Would definitely recommend.

A luxurious property is a stunning rural location

Broad House is a perfect mix of period features and modern additions to suit modern life. The bifold doors allow you to seamlessly merge the kitchen diner with the garden. The garden is just the right size, with play equipment for the children and a hot tub largely for the adults. We spent most time sitting in the garden. The view to the front over the Lost Broad is stunning and there is access across the fields to the river and bankside footpath. A pub is just 1 mile down the lane. Perfect !!

Amazing break!

We had an amazing week, we loved the features of the house and the remote location but was a brilliant location due to being only 25 minute drive to the beach. Also very nice touch with the local produce hamper that was left too. Will be returning 5*

Another excellent week

2nd visit to Broad house. Ideal for extended family of 5 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Lots of space, very well equipped and very clean. Good walking straight from the door, and secure, spacious garden for both children and dogs. Well located for day trips and peaceful. Welcome hamper of local produce very well received. Many thanks.

Beautiful home in peaceful country side

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Broad House. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very well equipped and very comfortable. Our great niece and dogs enjoyed the garden, the adults enjoyed the hot tub and indoor/outdoor living. Occasionally walkers & bikers would go by the rear of the property which was a surprise to us as we didn’t realise there was a public right of way behind the garden. If the fencing was higher it would add to the privacy. It certainly didn’t spoil our holiday and we would highly recommend the property to our friends & family.

Precious memories

This was our second visit to Broad House and on opening the front door it felt like we were home. The welcome pack was excellent with basics and treats plus prosecco! Never too sure about revisiting a holiday venue but the week was just (if not more) as enjoyable as our first. The garden and the hot tub came into their own with the lovely weather we had. The addition of the car charging point this year was incredibly useful. Hope to return soon.

A great stay in Norfolk

We stayed at Broad House for 2 weeks and all had a fantastic time. The location is great for exploring all that Norfolk has to offer, from the amazing beaches very close by (10-15 minutes) to towns and villages for pubs and cafes, and further afield to Wells Next The Sea and other attractions. The house had everything that we needed for our stay, and our "Threenager" loved the swings and climbing frame in the garden. There's a nice walk out of the house, past the mill ruins, along the canal, and back via the old railway nearby. The rooms were all extremely well furnished and comfortable. All in all, we all had a great time, and the weather even behaved for us!

Broad House

Our second time at Broad House and it didn’t disappoint, the house is simply stunning, beautifully and comfortably decorated to a very high standard, and is situated in just the perfect amount of solitude to really allow you to unwind. As a family, we explored further with our dogs this stay, on numerous beautiful walks, visited the gorgeous coastline. We all loved the hot tub and also enjoyed marshmallows around the campfire in the evenings. The only thing wrong with Broad House is that you can’t stay forever!

Our second stay of 2023 at Broad House

This is our second stay of this year. First time in May with friends enjoying the sun & visiting all local attractions. This time just myself & 2 doggies went for a winter break to get away from it all. This is such a beautiful house in gorgeous surroundings- ideal for doggies with a fully large secure garden. The house was lovely & warm & you really do not want to leave it - we just went out late mornings to walk on the local beaches with the dogs & then enjoying a late lunch before returning back home just to relax for the remaining day. The hosts are lovely & we had an excellent welcome pack awaiting us with local produce. Hopefully we will be able to return in 2024. Can not recommend this lovely property highly enough.

Peace and relaxation

Where do I start with The Broadhouse. The property is a brilliant mix of old and new buildings that have been combined in a flawless manner. The whole property has a touch of style and class which is finished off with high quality fixtures and fittings. The whole house was extremely clean and well maintained. The location was perfect as a quiet retreat in an area that made visiting other parts of Norfolk and Norwich easy. My personal highlight was laying in the hot tube whilst watching bats fly overhead and hearing owls hooting in the wooded area at the bottom of the garden. If I were to be visiting the area again I’d definitely check to see if this house was available. Mark

A wonderful winter break

We had a wonderful week in Broad House at the end of January. We were blessed with dry weather. Broad House is fabulous! We were 6 adults, one 3 year old (who loved the garden and the play house) and one baby. The house is very spacious and we all had lovely bedrooms and en-suites. The bedroom upstairs was just perfect to escape the grandchildren and find a bit of peace with glorious views though all the windows! We really did enjoy the hot tub! It was wonderful place to relax and unwind once the children were asleep. Then after a lovely dinner together, cooked in the well-equipped kitchen, we relaxed further with jigsaw puzzles and enjoyed the log fire in the comfortable lounge. There are lots of good walks without needing to drive anywhere. I would absolutely recommend Broad House to all my friends and would love to come again. We only live a 40 minute drive away, but it just goes to prove that you don't have to go far to have a lovely break.

An idyllic week in Broad House.

Just returned home from a wonderful break staying at Broad House. The house is set in a very quiet, most beautiful spot surrounded by fields, woods and water. There are horses in the field facing the front driveway who run over for a fuss & there were numerous sighting of deer outside of the fence of the back garden. It is a doggie paradise with a large enclosed garden and decking - my two loved it. The evening sky without any light pollution is just stunning & everywhere is so quiet. We loved the house with a very big dining/kitchen with bi folding doors onto the garden with an outside jacuzzi on the decking. The lounge was a good size too with a stunning upstairs master bedroom along with 3 other good size bedrooms on the ground floor. The only thing that let everything down was the weather as it was quite chilly outside for a few days but maybe that was a good thing as we don’t think we would have left the house so much to explore. Thank you Carol & Simon Wilkinson & 2 very happy doggies.

Beautiful and peaceful house

We stayed in the house with two pre-school age children and two grandparents. Everyone loved it. The open plan kitchen opening onto the patio is perfect for sharing family time and enjoying the beautiful garden with lovely plants. You could often spot different birds enjoying the lush garden. The hot tub was lovely for the grown ups, with the children enjoying the play equipment and using the summer house as a play room. The kitchen is well equipped with large fridge suitable for a family stay. Garden furniture was really comfortable. Having a bathroom each was a real bonus, with perfect showers to refresh after a day out. The location is very peaceful with access to beautiful waterside walks from the front door. We saw deer in the field opposite, which was lovely. Easy access to brilliant beaches and the gorgeous Norfolk broads. Plenty of restaurants in an easy drive or taxi away - from good old fashioned pub grub to something special. There really is something for everyone nearby. We’ll definitely be booking again!
