This prestigious detached holiday home offers comfort and space for larger family groups and friends. With an elevated position within the pretty riverside village of Horning, and commanding views of the River Bure, yet just a short walk away from the riverside and restaurants and shops. Boasting its own hot tub, large decked seating area and its own summerhouse, it provides a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views of the River Bure. The property is well-equipped to provide home from home comforts. The spacious conservatory boasts both dining and seating areas, and has great views over the garden and the river. The property is split onto two levels; all main rooms are at the ground floor level, including the master bedroom with its own dressing room, and a separate bathroom. Stairs lead down to three further bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom. All bedrooms offer quality beds to ensure the best night’s sleep.
The Neighborhood:
Horning village, a picturesque broadland village with riverside inns, restaurants, a selection of small shops and tea shops, is within a few minutes’ walk. One of the best ways to explore this magnificent waterway is by boat. Daily boat hire and river trips are available from the village, with cruises up and down the Broads, where you can take in the beautiful scenery and abundance of wildlife. Held during the summer are several boat races and a week-long regatta where you can enjoy all the boating action from one of the many pubs or restaurants situated along the riverbank. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, be sure to bring your fishing rods as pike fishing is well-known to be very good between November and January when there is less activity on the water. For those seeking an active holiday, the marina and leisure club welcomes visitors who wish to enjoy water sports and there are plenty of walks and cycle tracks that take you through the village into the surrounding countryside and nature reserve.
Children will enjoy BeWILDerwood, 1 mile, an outdoor tree top adventure park, or there is Wroxham Barns, 4.5 miles, and the Dinosaur Park at Lenwade, 18 miles.
Wroxham, 3.7 miles, is known as the ’Capital of the Broads’, with its selection of waterside cafés, restaurants and pubs.
It also has a railway station serving Norwich and the coast, and a station for the Bure Valley Railway, a miniature steam train running from the popular market town of Aylsham to Wroxham.
The coastline and excellent sandy beaches can be reached within 12 miles. Alternatively, spend a day exploring the city of Norwich, 11 miles, with its cathedral, museums, theatres and a vast array of cafés and shops.
National Trust properties, including Felbrigg Hall, Blickling Hall and Horsey Windpump, are all well worth a visit. Sailing and cycle hire available locally. Beach 12 miles. Shop, pub and restaurants 400 yards.
