About this cottage rental

Broad House has been finished to an exceptional standard, exploiting the original features of the old cottage including oak flooring and beams to compliment. Reclaimed and refurbished cast iron radiators, timber windows a roll top bath and a period farrow & ball colour scheme.

The modern extension boasts in-keeping contemporary vertical radiators, porcelain polished concrete effect flooring and en suites finished to a modern standard using oxide tiles and black framed shower enclosures.

As you enter the property you meet a light and airy corridor-leading straight to the spacious kitchen dinner.

The kitchen finished in navy blue with solid quartz worktops has everything you would expect, full height 70.30 fridge freezer, integrated oven and combi oven. An induction hob, dishwasher and boiling water tap ensure you have all your home comforts. The breakfast bar seats 4 and the dining table is suited for 8 persons.

The kitchen diner has access to the private and enclosed rear garden via two sets of bi-fold doors. The bi-folds open on to a large patio area which is tiled in the same porcelain as internally, the flush thresholds really bring the outside in and make for a wonderful social space.

The garden contains a new and very fun looking climbing frame for the children and for the adults a six-man hot tub is located on the patio. Also on the patio you will find a set of garden furniture and a gas BBQ. If storage for bikes, toys etc is required there is a sizeable summerhouse at your disposal.

Leading off the kitchen is the utility area, finished in the same style as the kitchen here you can find an additional sink, washing machine and tumble drier. The utility also houses a boot room area for all your coats, shoes and boots.

Moving into the old mill dwellers cottage you will find the lounge with beautiful oak beams and mantle, a lovely cast wood burner for those warm and cosy evenings, cast iron radiators and two large comfortable sofas and two arm chairs will ensure enough seating for everybody. Although a snug room it has the benefit of aspects over the rear garden and the lost broad. The lounge also accommodates the digital TV

The Family Bathroom located on the ground floor has both a bath and a shower, the room is presented in a period correct style boasting floral floor tiles and blended with a contemporary metro tiles cladding the walls. All bath/showrooms have heated towel rails.

Bedroom 2 is equipped with twin beds and bed 3 a double bed plus a contemporary finished en-suite shower room. Being in the new part of the house the finishes have been chosen to compliment this, with modern radiators and light fittings. Both of these bedrooms again are located on the ground floor just off the utility corridor.

Second in size to the master bedroom is bedroom 4, this room has direct access over its own patio via french doors to the private rear garden. A room full of light and plenty of space easily effortlessly accommodates a super king size bed and dressing table, it also has its own dressing area which then leads to the en-suite shower room.

The master bedroom is located on the 1st floor of the old house; in fact it is the entire 1stfloor!! An open stairwell leads you past glass balustrade into the room with four large Georgian bar windows offering a dual aspect - over the broad and overlooking the patio and rear garden. Again period cast iron radiators, deep pile carper, a super king size bed, dressing table and antique chair offer a luxurious feel. The en-suite is home to a large walk in shower with ceiling integrated shower head, his and hers basins and a roll top bath that takes advantage of the views over the old broad. All this is finished in deep avocado wall tiles floor to ceiling and a random monochrome floor tile, you have to see it!

Externally the property offers a small lawn area and bench to the front so the lost broad views can be enjoyed from outside. To the rear, past the garden we have 2 acres of private woodland for you to explore. To the west of the house across the driveway you can find the stream, which if you follow you will see it runs underneath the house! Keep following it and it will take you to the ruin of the old water mill.

The property has a private gated driveway and secure off road parking in designated bays for four vehicles, one of which has a 7KW electric vehicle charging point.

UPDATE - Broad House now has high speed fibre broadband!

Great central location for the Broads, large house, plenty of space, great garden. Comfy beds, peaceful surroundings.

Broad house is a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and it's very quiet. The owner was very pleasant and sorted the television out no problem. We were a bit disappointed with the wood that stretched along the back garden. It was too overgrown to walk the dogs and walk along the canal but I would certainly recommend this property

This was our 2nd stay. We were that impressed last year, for the first time ever everyone voted to return. The location is great - quiet and yet close to the wonderful and uncrowded, sandy beaches and The Broads. The house is very spacious and has everything you could possibly need.

Lovely property based in Dilham. Ten minutes to Wroxham and Stalham where you find supermarkets. The house is in a rural setting overlooking fields and an enclosed garden. Very spacious and modern. Plenty of room for our group. Garden is lovely, with the hot tub. Really enjoyed the peaceful setting. Log burner in the lounge which we made use of one night as it was chilly. Plenty of logs in the shed. Would recommend this property. Only niggle for us was lack of pub in walking distance (Cross Keys too far for my elderly mum!) but we enjoyed our stay. A little surprised at no welcome pack on arrival (ie: a pint of milk and some bread) which we have had in previous VRBO properties.

We had a lovely stay at this property during May Half-Term. The house is very spacious and in a very quiet location. The children thoroughly enjoyed the garden and hot tub. We hope to be back in the future.

We were fortunate enough to spend Christmas 2024 at Broad House, and what an amazing break it was - filled with wonderful memories shared with family and friends. From the moment we arrived, we were completely overwhelmed by the beauty of Broad House. The stunning exterior and tranquil surroundings immediately set the tone for our stay. Walking through the front door, we were greeted by a warm, welcoming, and beautifully cosy home - truly a “wow” moment! We felt at home instantly. Broad House is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was especially impressive, making hosting and socialising over Christmas a dream. A special touch was the chilled bottle of prosecco left in the wine fridge, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture as we unpacked. The bedrooms were all a great size, with the master bedroom being particularly spacious. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the super-soft bedlinen made it hard to get up in the mornings! Our children adored the garden and spent hours playing on the swings and climbing frame. It was such a joy to see them running around outdoors instead of being glued to their iPads. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which really added to the festive magic. Sitting by the log burner in the evenings made everything feel even cosier and more special. Broad House’s location is ideal - you feel wonderfully tucked away in the countryside where we went for some lovely walks directly from the house, but you are also within a short drive from shops, pubs and supermarkets. We visited Wroxham which had a great supermarket and department store and on Boxing Day we went to Horsey Beach, where we were lucky enough to see the famous seals. A special mention must go to Rachel, who was so helpful and accommodating in the lead up to our stay. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, which made the entire booking process stress free. Thank you, Joe and Rachel, for making Broad House such a memorable place to spend Christmas. We absolutely loved every moment and genuinely didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be back!
