Norfolk Property for the Ideal Country Escape

Norfolk Property for the Ideal Country Escape

Escaping to the country can be a very appealing idea. It is, though, often balked at the last minute, once city dwellers start realising what living in the country, the real country, can actually mean: being cut off from any reliable power source, for example, and being 60 miles from the nearest reliable road link. All of which is why Norfolk property, and particularly north Norfolk cottages, are such a good solution. Unlike most properly bucolic parts of Britain, Norfolk is blessed with excellent transport links to every major work and population centre in central, southern and south eastern England. That means you can escape there with your whole family and still commute to work every day. Ideal.

Norfolk is also blessed with an astonishing range of property types. There are very few counties in Britain that can boast not only post offices and old rectories but also country manors, oast houses, converted mills, poacher's cottages and converted barns Norfolk is one of them. In addition to the north Norfolk cottages that are practically the emblems of all Norfolk property, the lucky escapee will find themselves surrounded with options that include all sorts of countryside varieties as well as variation in the homes.

That's the other thing that Norfolk is able to do better than any other country escape. Norfolk as a county contains more types of rural retreat, in terms of surrounding and lifestyle, than pretty much anywhere else. So for example: you could choose to live by the sea, in one of Norfolk's many coastal villages (including the really famous one, where they brew the beer). Or you could pick some Norfolk property up on the fens, where poacher's cottages and riverside houses dot the landscape and the nearest pub is a two mile walk away.

Choosing the right property, from north Norfolk cottages onwards, all depends on the kind of escape you actually want. A family, for example, wants somewhere with a school, a doctor and a hospital close by. That means finding a village to live in. A couple or a single person may want to truly escape, in which case the lonely fen properties would be ideal the kind of place where you can record your next album, or write your next book, in perfect seclusion (unless you want to take the several mile walk to the next village and get some company, which is a pleasure in itself).

There is a lot to look forward to, in country living. There is also a lot that the city dweller, particularly the city dwelling family, may be nervous about. That is why Norfolk property, with its exemplary road access and public transport links, ticks all the boxes without being too daunting. Finding north Norfolk cottages today, given the ease of actually living in the county, could mean that you are moving there tomorrow safe in the knowledge that you will be able to get to work on time Monday morning. Perfect.
