Step outside Meadow View Manor into the privacy of your own ½ acre garden of sweeping lawns, mature flowerbeds and established trees. Be distracted by the verdant views of the meadows beyond. Take a seat on the circular bench that hugs the trunk of the mature sycamore and admire the handsome house.
The seductive scent of roses and wisteria will envelop you as you dine alfresco on the terrace. Or relax on the rattan sofa for morning coffee, sundowners or forty winks. Let the kids roam free – this garden is made for action: hide and seek, football, chasing dogs. Bring rackets and balls for the shared tennis court.
Embrace the acreage of the estate by paws, feet or wheels. Walk dogs through wetland meadows, scattered with wildflowers or stroll under woodland trees. Navigate the family friendly cycle tracks and discovery the estate’s very own craft brewery.
There’s ample room for everyone to relax en-masse or quiet spots for sneaky me-time. Find sumptuous sofas set in deeply comfortable light-filled rooms, where the antique furniture is perfectly at home.
Kick back in front of a roaring log fire in the well-proportioned drawing room; pop a cork for pre-dinner fizz. Gaze at the garden through the beautifully proportioned windows or catch up with a spot of freeview TV. Choose your tunes and let the Bluetooth speaker be your DJ.
Find the snug oak-beamed living room off the broad entrance hall and light the fire. Grab a novel from the well-stocked bookcase or choose a board game. Enjoy precious moments; have a snooze whilst the kids enjoy their own living space upstairs.
The crowd will congregate in the airy spacious kitchen – conjure up a treat on the AGA or something swift in the fan oven. Drop a pod in the Nespresso, brunch around the kitchen table and feast on the garden views. As well as the electric hob, the large island is made for meal prep and propping against with cocktail in hand. Ice is on standby from one of the two fridge freezers.
Call in Burn Valley Catering for a culinary creativity; make the magnificent mahogany table in the dining room your tablescape for 14. On sunny days, throw open the French doors and dine al fresco on the terrace. The gas BBQ is waiting to sizzle fish from Gurneys or produce from Walsingham Farm Shop. Pop into Satchells for an extraordinary selection of fine wines.
For times when only a takeaway will do, dine in on fish and chips from Drifters. For eastern-inspired dishes, order a Chinese from the Panda Kitchen or Thai from the Crawfish Inn. Wash down with local Barsham Brewery Beers or Sandringham juices from the royal estate. Warm your plates in the AGA and let the two dishwashers make light work of clearing up.
Foodies rejoice! Sup on Cromer crab and avocado in the garden of Sculthorpe Mill. In cooler seasons a Norfolk Sunday roast at the Barsham Arms is hard to beat with sides of pork scratchings and apple ketchup. Share platters at award winning Socius with its open plan restaurant and kitchen. Scoop the freshest oysters by the sea in Brancaster.
Up the sweeping staircase you will find seven beautifully furnished bedrooms – five on the first floor and two on the second. Glide off to dreamland under crisp white sheets and cosy throws to the beats of mother nature’s soundtrack.
Indulge in the romance of the spacious master suite with kingsize bed and boudoir-scale dressing room. Start your day under the ensuite’s stand-alone shower; post-country-walk the generous tub will beckon you.
All bedrooms command glorious rural views with interior prints and palette inspired by the landscape. Bedroom two has a kingsize bed and ensuite whilst bedrooms three and four are both superkings with ensuite. Bedroom five has a zip-linked kingsize bed and separate bathroom.
Tuck the teens away on the second floor. They can sprawl across two twin rooms and enjoy their own large living room – the perfect spot for scrolling or watching a movie. A shared bathroom on this floor adds to this hideaway.
