Waterside is a charming, flint-fronted detached bungalow located in the picturesque hamlet of Wiveton, Norfolk, within the East of England. This delightful property, which accommodates up to eight guests, is nestled within a private garden and is conveniently situated near the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Guests can easily explore the nearby coastal villages of Cley-next-the-Sea and Blakeney, as well as the North Norfolk coastal path and an award-winning gastro pub, making it an ideal retreat for families and friends, including those traveling with dogs.
Upon entering Waterside, visitors are greeted by a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of a private country house hotel. The bungalow is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring all one-level living, though the garden includes steps. The interior boasts spacious, sociable living areas, four tastefully decorated bedrooms—comprising one king, two super-king/twin, and a twin—all outfitted with high-quality linens and plush mattresses. The light-filled sitting room, with its dual aspect windows and wood-burning stove, offers a cozy retreat, while the open-plan L-shaped dining kitchen is equipped with modern amenities and provides lovely views of the garden.
The expansive rear garden is a standout feature of Waterside, inviting guests to enjoy outdoor meals on the large curved patio that overlooks the lush lawn. This serene space is perfect for relaxation and social gatherings, enhancing the overall experience of a countryside getaway. With its tranquil setting and thoughtful design, Waterside encourages guests to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty surrounding them.

Cley offers a variety of attractions, including tea rooms, art galleries, and the iconic Cley Windmill, while Blakeney features a wider range of shops, pubs, and the renowned Blakeney Hotel, famous for its afternoon tea. The Wiveton Hall Cafe, highlighted in the BBC series Normal for Norfolk, is also nearby and has become a popular dining spot.
