Tucked in the heart of the Norfolk Brecks, this luxury eleven-bed property is very 'Pride and Prejudice', although the Bennets wouldn't have got to splash around in a heated outdoor pool. A Georgian gem for families and groups of friends, there's also a tennis court on top of many other activities such as croquet and table tennis, plus cycling in Thetford Forest Park on the doorstep. Vicarage House & Pool House is dog-friendly and the ultimate luxury base to comb the expansive North Norfolk beaches and nearby family attractions. Vicarage House sleeps nine in comfort in the main house, with room for a further six in the Pool House. A six acre slice of Norfolk envelopes this rather special holiday home with huge front lawn and magnificent landscaped gardens. The spacious interiors provide an ideal setting for families and groups of friends, whether for a special celebration or just for a wonderful holiday. Take advantage of the fantastic facilities including a heated outdoor pool (1 April - 30 October) and private hard tennis court, as well as football, badminton, croquet and boules. A vast games room is situated in the adjacent Pool House, with a table tennis table, sofas, armchairs, a TV and DVD player and other games. Plenty to keep you on site! The focal property is the beautiful Vicarage House. Alive with light, the house drips elegant Regency charm with classic country-style soft furnishings and antique furniture. The huge, light hall embraces you from the moment you set foot in the door. Airy rooms with high ceilings open up around you, while the classic farmhouse breakfasting kitchen gives a warm heart to the house. Life is easy here. Celebrate together in the large dining room. Enjoy an after meal get-together in the sumptuous formal drawing room, the comfy sofas perfect for a catch up with family or old friends. Then there's the snug family sitting room for cosying up in front of the open fire and watching a classic family movie to bring everyone together. Or just curl up with a squishy cushion and a good book. The five beautifully designed bedrooms can sleep nine guests in comfort and style. Three modern roomy bathrooms and flexible sleeping accommodation make it ideal for different combinations of guests and all have wonderful views... And, if the weather's kind, spill out onto one of four terraces wrapped around the house. With rattan furniture and two barbecues, you can capture the sunshine any time of the day and catch a classic Norfolk sunset. The Pool House has its own distinct character providing ground floor accommodation for six. Ideal for any less mobile members in your party. A vast living room with 20ft vaulted ceiling, chunky oak beams and high windows frame the sky and a wall of windows open west onto the swimming pool and walled garden. Three comfortable bedrooms with double or triple aspects offer flexibility, and one of the two shower rooms has direct access to post pool showers. Nestled in six acres of beautiful gardens, each step you take outside brings new surprises. From the old roses in the front garden to the deep blue delphiniums in the topiary garden and the classic borders of the walled garden. Children will love exploring the arboretum through the enchanting wooden door and playing games on the acres of lawn. Hunt for the local wildlife - deer, pheasants, rabbits, song birds, owls and woodpeckers -and see how many animals you can spot. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Massage - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower/bathtub combination ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Golf - Heated pool - Table tennis - Tennis - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101950000/101941500/101941493/f3642c0e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish, modern 5bed Farmhouse w/garden & parking Norwich [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-20&endDate=2025-12-21&selected=101941493&PinnedHotelID=101941493&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, highchair, freezer](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76980000/76975000/76974951/6fc4742a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom accommodation in Barnham Barnham - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-20&endDate=2025-12-21&selected=76974951&PinnedHotelID=76974951&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Superior Apartment, City View | Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109940000/109934200/109934132/a6e30d62.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Thetford Hive Thetford - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews CA $188 CA $226 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=109934132&PinnedHotelID=109934132&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101420000/101412900/101412808/58066a59.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A grand 11 bedroom Victorian property, which sleeps 26 people.
