Fully escape in this stunning, serene space in a huge (2 acre) wildflower meadow, with hammocks, a fire pit, and, at the bottom of the huge garden, river frontage leading directly onto Barton Broad (accessed through a gate for the safety of children and dogs). The fun and funky 1960's property is really spacious and light, with a modern kitchen and a big living/dining space for socialising and relaxing. Some great colours too, making it really vibrant!Kitchen
Entrance to the property is through the kitchen door with lots of storage for coats, shoes and welly boots in cupboards along the right hand side. There is an electric oven and halogen four-ring hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge with ice box (further fridge and freezer in boiler room). Plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery for entertaining all. Also some basic food supplies which will vary from guest to guest.
Utility/Boiler Room
There is a laundry room which houses a washer and dryer for guest use. There is also a further fridge and a freezer overflow in this room. Great if you feed raw and want to store the dog food away from the kitchen area.

This large, bright room has views over the gardens. The large dining table is the perfect place for up to ten guests to eat together.

The garden wraps around the property to the right and leads down to the huge back garden. Laid to grass with fencing all around the boundary. A large gate gives access to the broad at the bottom where guests can launch their own boats, paddle board and kayaks. At the bottom of the garden there is a fire pit to enjoy through the evenings. There is a Wendy house for children to play in and a sunken trampoline and so many smells for dogs to discover!
From the property, guests can enjoy the large decking area. There is seating for all, charcoal BBQ and a great place to stargaze on an evening and sunbathe during the day!
Due to the very rural location, the WiFi comes through a dongle and is fine but not fast. Hot-spotting from phones is usually absolutely fine but please don't expect a fast connection. No smoking in the house please. All major supermarkets deliver here, if you do make an order - please make sure it is delivered after your arrival. The access road is single track and unmade, as you might expect for such an off-the-beaten-track location!What we provide - for the humans Open plan kitchen diner All bed linen and towels supplied (bath and hand towel per person) Accommodation all on one level 2 x Hairdryers Table tennis table, footballs and goals and basket ball net for holiday games (as well as the garden for hide and seek or frisbee games!)
