Dove Cot is a lovely 200 year old brick and flint cottage situated in the delightful village of Brampton on the River Bure. It has 2 bedrooms (one leading off the other) and sleeps 2 plus 1 child (possibly 3 adults if they don’t mind the lack of privacy of adjoining bedrooms). The cottage is full of character and retains many original features - such as the Norfolk winder staircase and bread oven. It has full central heating as well as an open fire in the sitting-room. The property is very well-equipped, and the decoration and furnishing is to a high standard. Brampton is ideally placed between Norwich, the North Norfolk coast, and the Broads. There are many lovely walks in the vicinity, several directly from the cottage - the water meadows of the River Bure are a wonderful place to study birds and a favourite spot for water-colourists. Brampton is just 3 miles from the historic market town of Aylsham, and 5 miles from the marvellous National Trust property of Blickling Hall. As well as walking, Norfolk is a great place for cycling and canoes can be hired locally for a trip along the river. Brampton is 12 miles from Norwich. 12 miles from Cromer and Overstrand. 7 miles from Wroxham and the Broads.
Located in Norwich, this cottage is in a rural area and near theme parks. Norfolk Motorcycle Museum and The Straw Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Blickling Hall and Sewell Barn Theatre.
