Heath Cottage dates back to 1650 and has been lovingly restored and extended.

If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle, Heath Cottage puts you at the heart of the countryside, with plenty of local footpaths and bridleways to explore across acres of fields and farm land. Despite the feeling of being away from it all, the cottage is on the outskirts of the village of Mattishall, and you’re within easy reach of some of Norfolk’s most historic towns, including Dereham and Wymondham. The county town of Norwich is also just a 20-minute drive away.

Inside this semi-detached cottage, you’ll find plenty of room for you to all relax and enjoy your time away. There’s a living room with a wood-burning stove to keep you cosy in the cooler months, along with a separate snug and a sitting area in the kitchen too. Two of the bedrooms have zip and link beds that can be converted to twin beds should you wish.

Despite being thoroughly and tastefully renovated, the property has retained many of its period charms, including its wooden beams. The delightful, enclosed garden is accessible from bifold doors in the kitchen. On a sunny day, there’s nothing better than to open the doors fully and enjoy life al fresco on the terrace, complete with hot tub and table tennis, surrounded by the birdsong.

Ground Floor:
Hallway. Utility room. Sitting room with wood burning stove. Snug area. Large, open-plan kitchen and dining room with a sitting area and bi-fold doors leading to patio and garden.
Bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, twin wash basins and WC.

First Floor:
Four bedrooms: bedroom one with a 5' king-size bed; bedroom two with a 6' super-king size zip and link bed (can be separated to twin 3' beds on request); bedroom three with a 4'6 double bed; and bedroom four with a 5' king-size zip and link bed which can be separated to twin 2'6 singles beds on request.
Family bathroom with a free-standing slipper bath, large separate shower, wash basin and WC.

Lovely house for a family gathering
We had a fabulous stay for a family gathering at a local wedding. Beautifully kept property with everything you would need for all ages. There are a few high steps here and there so those less mobile may find accessing some areas a bit tricky. Overall 10/10 for us though.

Amazing stay and will definitely come back!
Beautiful house and great stay. Communication with property manager was brilliant, gift package when we arrive was very generous. Over all our stay was amazing! Only small comment of complaint. The photos are outdated and the garden has been halved, so if you plan to use the space ( I brought a lot of garden game to play that we couldn’t end up doing due to incorrect photos ) also there was dog poo on the grass that had been left by previous people. Apart from that, we will definitely be returning as was a great place for friends and family

Lovely cottage, would reccommend
We had a lovely short break in Norfolk. Heath Cottage was a perfect location: very spacious, clean, excellently maintained and warm with everything you would need. - We felt very much at home. We’d love to return again soon. We felt so welcome. A very responsive and accommodating host. Thanks a lot Scott! Would definitely recommend and would definitely book again if returning to the area.
