ABOUT DUFFIELDS HOUSE

 

​

Duffields is a Friday changeover (or Monday for short breaks outside of school holidays).

 

Duffields has private access from the main road through a five bar white gate. The main door is to the rear of the property and you walk into a spacious porch with ample room for boots, coats and storage. There is a downstairs toilet with heated towel rail and a snug or children’s den/office with settee, desk and chair and a TV and DVD player.  The property has fast WiFi, a log burner and further outdoor storage for bikes etc.

 

The large open plan kitchen/dining room is reached through double glass doors from the hallway and encompasses the whole of the front of the house. This light and airy room is extremely well appointed with high quality appliances. The kitchen itself is bespoke with painted wooden units, solid beech work surfaces, an induction hob, butlers sink and fully integrated appliances including fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and double oven. There is a small table with two chairs perfectly positioned inside one of the two bay windows to watch the world go by, whilst the other half of the kitchen is used as a dining area and is dominated by a large table, which will easily seat 8 people.

 

The downstairs is further complimented by a large, bright lounge with French doors opening directly onto the garden. The three-piece suite, including “L-shape” sofa creates seating for at least 8 people, with a flat screen smartTV, DVD player and a jetmaster open log fire. We also provide a selection of games, books and DVD’s for your entertainment should you want to stay in the privacy of your temporary home.

 

The first floor principle bedroom has a king sized bed with large dressing area including built-in wardrobes, a dressing table and chair and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. This room further benefits from access to a very large, private south-facing balcony with stunning views over the fields beyond and lounger chairs to relax and enjoy the sun’s warming rays in the summer. We also believe it to be the perfect place to see the night sky in all its glory!

 

There is a second generously proportioned double room with limited edition artwork and brand new furniture including an extremely comfortable double bed, plump bedding and pure wool throw. There is plenty of storage, including a built in wardrobe, chest of drawers and a chair. This room is next to a very large family bathroom with free-standing roll top bath, a walk-in shower, chrome heated towel rail and plenty of storage for all your toiletry essentials.

 

To the second floor are an additional two double bedrooms, each with twin beds (3 feet each), plentiful storage and chairs. These rooms overlook the countryside and fields to the back of the property and are incredibly peaceful rooms, designed for use by children and adults alike.

 

Duffields house provides unlimited wifi access for its guests, freeview satellite television and a wide selection of books, dvd’s and games. Towels and bed linen are provided and there are washing and drying facilities within the property including a clotheshorse, iron and ironing board. We even provide a couple of beach towels! The house is fully doubled glazed with oil fired central heating which makes it very snug and warm in winter.

Norfolk is a perfect location for foodies, and Brancaster is no exception to this. A multitude of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and mussels can be bought locally in the village, including the Fish Shed famous for its wonderful fish selection, which now sells bread and fresh produce.
