Foxglove is a secluded property, tucked away in the Norfolk countryside of Houghton, surrounded by open fields and far-reaching rural scenery.

Set across a single storey and semi-detached from neighbouring Hollyhock (sleeping four), this timber-clad lodge offers a surprisingly generous space for two guests.

Inside, the interior is bright and thoughtfully styled, featuring terracotta flooring, a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals, and a king-size bed for restful evenings, with a window looking out over the rear paddocks and across the surrounding fields.

The open-plan living space provides a welcoming place to unwind after a day out, whether you’re settling in for a film or simply enjoying time together, complemented by a glass of fizz.

To the rear, a spacious decked area is accessed from the sitting room, complete with outdoor furniture and a barbecue, and enjoying views across the surrounding fields, woodland, and towards Houghton Hall Park.

This is an ideal spot for alfresco dining on warmer days or relaxing with a drink as the sun sets.

With dark, star-filled skies, quiet country lanes, and wildlife including barn owls, the setting offers an authentic countryside experience.

Positioned close to the Houghton Hall Estate, Foxglove is well placed for enjoying time together in this scenic corner of Norfolk.
