Farthings is a unique, luxuriously appointed thatched cottage in Wroxham, the heart of the Broads National Park, a very desirable location, having its own private hot tub, games cabin and tree house to enjoy.
Discerning guests will delight with the charm and character of this cottage, complimented by all the modern essentials, beautifully renovated in 2022, being a well-appointed holiday home welcoming family groups, large and small.
After a day sightseeing you can soak away the day in the hot tub or relax within the wonderful, enclosed wrap-round garden filled with mature planting, which during the summer months is an explosion of colour, a haven for butterflies, visiting bird life, and a resident hedgehog family.
Al fresco dining can be enjoyed on the patio terrace, or just sit back, enjoying the sunshine and your peaceful surroundings. Farthings has origins dating back to the late 1700s, filled with history, if you look carefully on the external brickwork, you will find carvings from former residents dating back to 1820.
Cosy during the cooler evenings, the kitchen is well equipped with large farmhouse dining table perfect for any celebration meal.
A 5 minutes’ walk from river access at Caen Meadow, a well-stocked shop and choice of two children’s playgrounds. Ideally situated to explore Wroxham, known as capital of the Norfolk Broads, having a wealth of amenities and waterside activities to enjoy.
For those wishing to dine out, you have an abundance of eateries to try, there are also many take-away restaurants, offering home delivery options.
Leave the car behind; being just a 15-minute walk away from Wroxham centre, where daily boat hire and river trips are available to best enjoy the expanse of waterways. Hire a canoe or kayak for the day, or even by the hour, to explore at your own pace.
Having two train stations; a mainline station leading to coastal area such as Cromer, and the city of Norwich, and the Bure Valley miniature steam gauge railway. A few minutes further drive away is Wroxham Barns, a children’s petting farm, with small funfair rides and a complex of various craft barns, café and restaurants. A must for any walkers is the hour stroll along the Hoveton Great Broad Nature Trail, accessible only by boat or ferry.
For the shopaholics, head to Norwich city centre with its two indoor shopping malls, market square and many high street boutiques. For family fun head to BeWILDerwood at neighbouring Horning, offers an outdoor tree house adventure with zip wires, jungle bridges and marsh walks and Dinosaur Park at Lenwade, outdoor and indoor adventure park, with splash play zone.
