Rectory Lodge – Norfolk

Rectory Lodge

About the property

Set in the tranquil village of Oxborough, Rectory Lodge offers a slice of Norfolk heritage right next door to the medieval splendour of Oxburgh Hall. This elegant single-storey retreat, part of The Old Rectory Estate, combines period charm with modern luxury to create the perfect adults-only escape.

Step inside to discover a tastefully designed holiday home where light floods through large windows, creating bright, welcoming spaces throughout. The lounge sets the scene for relaxation with its sumptuous sofas and crackling wood burner (starter pack included) – perfect for cosy evenings with a good book or watching your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

The contemporary kitchen comes fully equipped with everything needed for cooking up Norfolk’s finest produce, from the electric oven to the dishwasher. Enjoy casual meals at the breakfast bar, or take advantage of the private garden with its gas BBQ for some alfresco dining.

Both bedrooms promise peaceful nights, with the master featuring a king-size bed and patio doors – ideal for lazy mornings with breakfast in bed and fresh country air. The second bedroom offers a comfortable double, while the family bathroom impresses with its spacious walk-in shower.

But it’s the outside space that really sets this property apart. The private garden features a wood-fired hot tub where you can soak under Norfolk’s star-filled skies (thanks to minimal light pollution). For the more energetic, there’s access to a shared gym with weights and training equipment.

The real treasure lies in the surrounding eighteen-acre estate. Explore the grounds to discover the original Oxborough village church ruins, meet the resident animals, or take a rowing boat out on the private lake. There’s even a riverside picnic area for those perfect summer afternoons.

Location-wise, you’re spoilt for choice. Swaffham’s independent shops and eateries are just 8 miles away, while wildlife enthusiasts can explore Welney Wetland Centre or experience a unique Norfolk safari at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. The royal estate of Sandringham lies within easy reach, and the stunning North Norfolk coast begins at Snettisham, just 27 miles away.

With private parking for two cars and all the comforts of home, Rectory Lodge offers the perfect base for exploring Norfolk’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
