Marlpit House - Seven Bedroom House, Sleeps 14
Nestled on the edge of Coltishall — known as the “Gateway to the Broads”— this impressive, detached property offers a peaceful and private escape in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. Tucked away in over three acres of mature gardens and completely undisturbed by neighbours, Marlpit House promises a serene retreat surrounded by nature. Located just moments from the River Bure and the stunning waterways of the Norfolk Broads National Park, the area offers tranquil walks and scenic adventures on your doorstep. Enjoy the Coltishall Circular Walk or the Bure Valley Path — both perfect for walking or cycling through enchanting countryside. Nearby, the waterside villages of Hoveton and Wroxham (just 2 miles away) offer ideal spots for river tours, paddleboarding, or visits to Wroxham Miniature Worlds (2.5 miles), a charming local attraction, or explore “the world’s largest village store” — Roys of Wroxham (3 miles), a local landmark. For a change of pace, the historic city of Norwich lies only 10.5 miles away, with its striking architecture, cultural attractions, and lively independent shops. From the moment you arrive, the house is sure to impress. A long, leafy driveway lined with walnut trees leads to this striking red-brick home, known locally as The Propeller House thanks to its distinctive three-wing design. Set amidst wildlife-rich grounds, it's like staying in your own private nature reserve — keep your eyes peeled for deer, squirrels, and an abundance of birdlife. Inside, the house blends period charm with modern comfort. Spacious and light-filled rooms feature original wooden beams and floors, while the thoughtful layout caters beautifully to larger families or groups. The welcoming entrance hall leads to the first of seven bedrooms — a ground-floor king-size — and the heart of the home: a generous open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge. This warm, sociable space features a farmhouse-style kitchen with central island, formal dining area, and a comfy seating nook with Smart TV — perfect for keeping everyone together while meals are prepared. A second lounge with Smart TV and a wood burner offers a quieter space for cosy evenings, and a third snug area with its own TV is ideal for film nights or relaxed downtime. A utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, six additional bedrooms accessed via a choice of two staircases offer a restful retreat for all guests: two king-size, two doubles, and two cosy twins. The largest king room also boasts a private dressing area. Two shared bathrooms (each with a bath and shower), plus an additional WC, ensure comfort and convenience for larger groups. The sense of space continues outside. Wraparound gardens and south-facing lawns invite relaxation throughout the day, while the elevated patio with oak gazebo and outdoor seating for all guests makes al fresco dining a joy. Children will love the open lawn areas for games and play, and private parking for up to ten cars means everyone is welcome.
