1 Bed in Swannington (oc-1011)

An attractive stable conversion set on a working arable farm only 8 miles from the stunning cathedral city of Norwich. Surrounded by miles of footpaths and offering an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, an en-suite double bedroom and a small patio garden, this pet-friendly stable is ideal for a couple seeking a relaxing break in tranquil surroundings. The space Located off a country road deep in the Norfolk countryside, this single-storey stable conversion has a light and spacious feel thanks to its contemporary colour palette and its soft furnishings, which are thoughtfully laid out across oak and carpeted flooring. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a wonderful space to spread across, and its comfortable seating is complemented by a host of gadgets that will enhance any stay. The welcoming arms of the barn’s en-suite double bedroom are only a few metres beyond, a comfortable place to begin and end your day. The small patio area outside awaits for morning coffees, alfresco brunches and evening cocktails as the sun sets on another day well spent. The cottage is surrounded by acres of farmland and umpteen footpaths and trails leading off in all directions, including Alderford Common (1 mile) and the Marriott’s Way (0.5 miles), a 26-mile route that links Aylsham and Norwich. The latter (8 miles) is one of the many jewels in Norfolk’s crown and its historic streets are home to a range of independent shops, galleries and its jaw-dropping cathedral. Wroxham (12 miles) is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads while a trip to Blickling Hall (9 miles), a Jacobean stately home situated in 5,000 acres of parkland close to the River Bure, could take a day to complete.
