Forsythia House, holiday cottage, Overstrand, Norfolk

Forsythia House has been sympathetically restored whilst retaining its unique period features, such as the fine sash windows, and furnished to a very high standard.

The living room boasts not only a working open coal fireplace, for those chillier evenings, but also a plaster ceiling rose & picture rail – all of which lends itself well to the overall feel of period elegance. Tastefully furnished with two comfy, plump sofas it also provides modern entertainment in the form of a digital TV and DVD player.

Tastefully decorated, the separate dining room with its 6 seater table can also function as a second living room with its feature fireplace, complete with glossy black stone hearth and additional sofa.

Leading off from this is the large galley-style kitchen, featuring high quality fitted wooden units, together with oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freeze & dishwasher. The stone flooring is in the traditional Norfolk pammented style.

A small utility room has the handy washer/dryer and, in turn, connects to the stylish family sized bathroom, resplendent with Romanesque style tiling, reminiscent of sandstone. The bathroom is fully fitted with a combination shower/bath, wash basin and WC.

At the back of the house is a lovely mature garden, bisected by a quiet resident’s pathway, which is easily big enough to make use of the BBQ equipment and garden furniture provided.
