About this property

2 bed quirky waterside cottage with moorings & fishing

On Arrival: As you drive past the Museum of the Broads and turn in to the private loke, you are met with the most picturesque views. A pair of quaint stone cottages, facing a private dyke and boat moorings, with parking for 2-3 cars, pretty gardens and so much more.

Kitchen: When you enter the house via the small galley kitchen, it's like stepping back in time. If you close your eyes, you can still smell someone making a pot of tea in their favourite bone china, while you rummage through cupboards full of curio. You have everything you need and more in this kitchen – washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer and under counter fridge, toaster, microwave and coffee machine, and just every utensil and pot you could ever think of in the original wall larder.

Lounge: This lovely big and light lounge offers magnificent views over the gardens, which are bursting full of wildlife. With comfy seating, a wood burner, dining area seating for 6, an array of armchairs, and yet more curio to get lost in. There is also a sofa bed which can sleep a further two people.

Family Bathroom: The original family bathroom is off the kitchen area, in a stunning retro green shade, with everything you should need from a family bathroom (albeit a shower – there's just a bath).

Bedroom one: Master bedroom with king size bed, bedside tables and drawers, cupboard, seating and a gorgeous view out on to the gardens from a large window at the bottom of the bed.

Bedroom two: Twin room with bedside table, views over the front garden and water, drawer space and cupboard.

Outside: Where do we start? Huge lawned gardens encircling the entire house, with several seating areas, an old fashioned tree swing, deck chairs and bench with parasol. You can use all lawn areas, watch the resident ducks and deer, listen to the birds, and even attempt to catch a fish or two.

Beautiful Utopia
As soon as I arrived at Utopia I felt relaxed and in chill heaven, everything was absolutely lovely, a well equipped cottage with everything you would need to make your stay pleasant! The wildlife was fabulous including spotting Muntjac deer and lots of birds of prey. The beds were comfortable and the furniture was cosy too, it would have been nice to have had a shower but that didn't spoil it in any way, it was a very enjoyable, cosy stay and honestly didn't want to leave ! Loved the retro feel of the place.

In 2021, my best friend Lou and I went to a luxury apartment in Wells next the Sea on our annual weekend away. With views over the harbour, a bottle of wine, and obligatory fish and chips, we couldn’t help feeling disappointed with the level of service we’d received from the agency we’d booked with. That trip turned out to be the start of something pretty special. Before we’d even left, we’d come up with the idea for a new business: to promote stunning holiday homes in Norfolk and Suffolk while providing a fully managed and bespoke service that nobody else was offering. We came home, decided on the branding, ethos, values, and target market, and launched with just two properties on board. Their dedicated owners put all their faith in us to make this venture successful, and we hope we’ve made them proud.

We’re committed to handpicking properties that meet or exceed our standards and fulfil everything we’d want from our holidays. Most of our properties are incredibly dog-friendly, and all welcome kids. A qualified changeover team manages our hot tubs, recruits all housekeepers, carries out monthly spot checks, and asks all owners to provide hotel-grade linens and towels.

My love for traveling stemmed from working as a Tour Operator as my first role after leaving school, along with gaining qualifications in Travel Services, living in Spain as a kid, family holidays to the South of France, being lucky enough to visit lots of Caribbean islands and Europe, then later in life, travelling and working in the Cook Islands, New Zealand, and Australia, before relocating to Norfolk in 2006.
