Feltwell 4.2 miles. Tucked away in the civil parish of Methwold near Feltwell in Norfolk, is this superb two-bedroom character cottage, Chalk Cottage. Dating back to the 1850’s this historic cottage takes its name from its make-up of chalk and flint and enjoys an idyllic location with a private enclosed garden and easy access to Brandon and Thetford, making Chalk Cottage an ideal dwelling for a family of four or two couples with two furry friends who are looking to explore Norfolk. Be welcomed into the spacious living/dining room, where you can look forward to curling up on the plush sofas and relaxing in front of your favourite film on the 48” TV with Sky, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. Pop on your chef’s hat and take your place in the well-equipped kitchen, with washing machine, fridge/freezer and electric oven and hob, ensuring you have everything you need to whip up culinary delights. Fold out the conveniently stored dining table, uncork a bottle of wine and settle down to savour a delicious meal before toasting to a wonderful holiday. If the weather is nice, why not make dinner an alfresco affair on the private patio? Make your way up to the first-floor where you will find a bathroom where you can pour in the bubbles and indulge in a soothing soak in the bath, as well as two-well presented bedrooms, a double with wall-mounted TV, ideal for those lazy Sunday mornings and a triple bunk which is suitable for both adults and children, both with plenty of storage for your belongings. Take advantage of Chalk Cottages’ location with the well-loved chip shop of Rumbles just a stone’s throw away, as well as The George, a village pub which also serves tasty food and local ales, both perfect options for when you fancy a night off from the kitchen.
