Toftrees is an impressive property located in the tranquil countryside of Norfolk, in the East of England, just 2.5 miles from the historic town of Fakenham. This charming retreat accommodates up to six guests and is ideally positioned near the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as leisurely country walks and cycling. The area is rich in cultural heritage, with several stately homes and estates nearby, including Houghton Hall, Sandringham, and Holkham Hall, which are excellent choices for memorable day trips. Notably, Holkham features a stunning coastal estate with a vast sandy beach framed by picturesque pine trees, famously known for its appearance in the film Shakespeare in Love.
The property itself is a beautifully restored 18th-century barn, designed with an open-plan living area that seamlessly integrates the lounge, kitchen, and dining spaces. A striking exposed wooden beam divides the lounge area from the kitchen/diner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lounge features a comfortable corner sofa, perfect for relaxing by the stainless steel wood burner while enjoying a film on the TV/DVD. The dining area includes a large wooden table that seats six, complemented by an island breakfast bar in the well-equipped kitchen, which boasts modern appliances such as an oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, and an American-style fridge/freezer. For added convenience, a washing machine and tumble dryer are available in the pool house, alongside a cloakroom with a WC tucked away in the corner of the living space.
Accessed via wooden stairs, the first floor hosts three tastefully finished bedrooms, maintaining the high standards set by the downstairs living area. The master bedroom serves as a serene retreat, featuring a double four-poster bed, ample storage, and a luxurious en suite shower room. Additionally, there is a twin room and a bunk bedroom, the latter equipped with reinforced glass in the floor-level window for safety. The first floor also includes a stylish bathroom, complete with a deep freestanding bath and WC, ensuring guests have all the comforts of home during their stay.
Guests at Toftrees can take advantage of excellent shared facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool and a spacious games room, which features table football, a pool table, and table tennis. The property is set within an expansive seven acres of grounds, offering a shared courtyard seating area with garden furniture and a BBQ for outdoor dining. Additionally, the grassy areas and paddocks provide ample space for relaxation and play. For those traveling by car, off-road parking is available for up to three vehicles, making this rural retreat both accessible and convenient for families or groups looking to explore the beauty of Norfolk.
