The Apartment

The Roost is a beautifully finished and furnished first floor apartment, tucked away in the heart of Norfolk. The apartment is completely private and not-overlooked with stunning open countryside views from the picture window in the open plan living space. With two bedrooms, The Roost can comfortably sleep up to 5 guests with a family shower room and parking for several cars.

The Roost is part of a converted barn building, within the grounds of the owner's own home, yet orientated to give privacy and to maximise the enjoyment of the beautiful rural landscape. Located off an unmade road, this is the only dwelling within sight and commands a wonderful sense of peace and space. The apartment has been recently completed and is tastefully furnished throughout, to provide a luxurious base to explore all that Norfolk has to offer.

The open plan living space is flooded with natural light from the wonderful wall of glazing at the gable end of the room, with further light shafting through the Velux windows. The newly fitted kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob, fan assisted oven, under counter fridge and dishwasher.

Both bedrooms are to the rear of the apartment, the principal bedroom has a king size bed, bedside tables, chest of drawers and hanging rail with two large dual aspect windows. Bedroom two has a bunk bed and a single bed with a dressing table, chest of drawers and hanging rail.

The family shower room, has a large walk in shower enclosure, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

Outside

Approached from the unmade road, The Roost has a private shingled area to the front of the building, with a patio, protected from the elements, under a tiled roof. There is a large parking area available for guests to park their cars.

There is a lovely walking directly from the front door, out into the countryside.

**Please note: The unmade road has an uneven surface which may be unsuitable for cars with limited ground clearance (like sports cars, for example). Please check with the team if you are unsure of the suitability for your vehicle.***

Absolutely loved our stay here. The big window and view is stunning. The place itself was lovely - and the hosts had left some lovely bits for us and the doggies to enjoy when we got there, such a nice touch.

A perfect weekend away at a peaceful and beautiful location. The view from the large window in the main room at sunrise and sunset was lovely. There was everything you could think of or need available at the place and it was very clean. When we arrived there was crumpets, milk, butter, prosecco, bread etc and even some treats for the dogs! The guest book was full of so much information and we will 100% be returning in the future! Thanks again!

We had a brilliant New Years stay at Hetti's place. It was perfect for two adults and three children and the open plan living/kitchen helped us to all relax together after a long day at the beach. Even though it was around 30minutes from Burnham Market the local town had all amenities/ food shops we needed and it was a great place to retreat too after a busy day.

Would highly recommend this holiday home. Is very modern and immaculate. The owner had left some nibbles as well as fresh milk and bread for our arrival. After a 7 hour drive from Scotland, this was a lovely welcome.The owner was very helpful and left us to enjoy our time. Will definitely be booking again soon.

We had a wonderful stay at The Roost whilst visiting the Polar Express in Dereham. The accommodation is perfectly located, modern, well appointed and spotlessly clean with lots of thoughtful touches from the hosts. Would recommend for any families looking for a holiday rental in Norfolk.

The Roost is such a find. It was spotless and very well equipped. The window in the living room with a view across the Norfolk countryside was hard to tear yourself away from. Katherine was a very helpful host and the goodies left for our arrival made our day.

Location

The Roost is tucked away in the rural countryside of mid-Norfolk. A wonderfully peaceful spot, yet still within easy striking distance of the coast and the market towns of Dereham and Swaffham. There are lots of pubs nearby with The White Horse at Longham, White Swan at Gressenhall and The George in Dereham being the closest.

Castle Acre is a must-visit and is only a 20 minute drive! It’s a beautiful, unspoilt village with an extraordinary wealth of history including a castle, parish Church and one of the best-preserved monastic sites in England, Castle Acre Priory. There is also a lovely tea room and village pub.

Dereham has a bowling alley, soft play, a Cinema, an Escape Room place and a leisure centre with a huge pool and school holiday activities such as inflatable obstacle course. Every Christmas the famous Warner Brothers 'Polar Express' runs for nearly 2 months from the historic Railway in Dereham and the town has lots of pubs, cafes, shops and amenities.

Distance to Dereham: 4.6 miles
Distance to Beach: 10 miles to Wells-next-the-Sea
Distance to Pubs: 2 miles to Longham White Horse
Distance to Supermarket: Morrisons, Tesco, Aldi & Lidl in Dereham (5 miles)
