About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
A beautiful house in North Tuddenham, Norfolk sleeping 14 guests in 7 bedrooms.
The Old Rectory in Norfolk is a luxury self catering holiday home which stands in its own parkland next to the church surrounded by open countryside, a mile from North Tuddenham. The original rectory dated from the 16th century and the poet William Cowper stayed here when he first came to Norfolk. It was replaced in 1852 by Rev Barry, younger brother of the architect of the Houses of Parliament, who designed it himself. The holiday home has been refurbished to provide a luxury self catering venue for family gatherings. It is easily accessed from the A47, half a mile away.
The Old Rectory is set in idyllic surroundings with grounds covering 12.5 acres. There are large areas of lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and trees. The grounds also include a west facing terrace, ideal for summer barbecues, a pond (this has been fenced making it childproof), and a children's football area with two goals. The Old Rectory is an ideal outdoor holiday break with its own wood: a pathway marked by an avenue of yew trees which leads to clearings planted with bluebells, foxgloves and primroses and ideal picnic spots.
For a larger gathering, The Old Rectory and The Coach House sleeps twenty guests, please see separate listing.
Additional Information: Oil central heating. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate available on request. Games room with table tennis. Use of an all weather tennis court in the grounds. Clay pigeon shooting, game shooting and fishing are available by prior arrangement. Please call Mrs Jenne on 07803-891984. Catering can be arranged through Florentina Events - hello@florentina-events.com / 07723 363597 Sorry, no hen or stag parties. Up to two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge per dog). Please note the seventh bedroom is accessed via a separate steep staircase from the utility room. Extra children's guest beds available (at extra cost of £23.50 each). Private water supply.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 4 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

Norfolk half-term
Lovely house with extensive grounds. A great place for the 6 children in our party. Facilities good, although bedroom in the annex a steep climb and limited headroom.Dining and sitting rooms excellent. Seeing hares and deer in the garden an added bonus.
