About this property

Cottage In Brampton (Near Aylsham), Norfolk

Dove Cot is a lovely 200 year old brick and flint cottage situated in the delightful village of Brampton on the River Bure. It has 2 bedrooms (one leading off the other) and sleeps 2 plus 1 child (possibly 3 adults if they don’t mind the lack of privacy of adjoining bedrooms). The cottage is full of character and retains many original features - such as the Norfolk winder staircase and bread oven. It has full central heating as well as an open fire in the sitting-room. The property is very well-equipped, and the decoration and furnishing is to a high standard. Brampton is ideally placed between Norwich, the North Norfolk coast, and the Broads. There are many lovely walks in the vicinity, several directly from the cottage - the water meadows of the River Bure are a wonderful place to study birds and a favourite spot for water-colourists. Brampton is just 3 miles from the historic market town of Aylsham, and 5 miles from the marvellous National Trust property of Blickling Hall. As well as walking, Norfolk is a great place for cycling and canoes can be hired locally for a trip along the river. Brampton is 12 miles from Norwich. 12 miles from Cromer and Overstrand. 7 miles from Wroxham and the Broads.

Beautiful Norfolk Cottage
we stayed 3 nights in October, the cottage is beautiful and rustic, very well equipped with all you could need or want, parking is not a problem as there is a large lay by/pull in 20 yards from the cottage well off the lane. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Fiona.

Brampton Stay
The property , was has described , clean and tidy well located . The only problem my wife and I had . Was the heating was not on when we arrived and we had problems with it while we were here . Hot water wasn’t on long enough . Overall this place needs some loving care and attention . A combo boiler would be more efficient and give consent hot water . A welcome pack would have been nice and bath towels provide would be good too. Maybe we have been spoilt in the past . Hope Fiona takes this on board going forward it would make this property a 1st class accommodations while keeping the authentic Look of the property . Location spot on . Maybe the little bit of land beside the house could be tidied up and made into a car parking space .

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Scott

Host profile image
Fiona and Tim Scott worked as schoolteachers in Derbyshire for many years, but are now retired and live permanently in Trinity Cottage (which is attached to Dove Cot). They bought the cottage many years ago for holidays, partly because Tim is from Norwich and they had both always loved Norfolk, but also because it filled all their needs for family holidays, situated as it is near the sea, the Broads, Norwich and the wonderful countryside and bird sanctuaries of North Norfolk.

Why they chose this property

We bought Trinity cottage and its annexe cottage (now Dove Cot) when we first married, as we lived in a school house and wanted somewhere to go in the holidays. We chose Norfolk because we both loved the area, and enjoy walking, cycling, and other outdoor pursuits, as well as the wonderful fresh air and good weather. Brampton is a very pretty village nestling near the water meadows of the Bure River, just 3 miles from the beautiful historic market town of Aylsham and 11 miles from the stunning mediaeval city of Norwich.

What makes this property unique

Dove Cot was built in the 18th century in flint and Norfolk clay lump, with brick facing. The property is renovated to a high standard whilst retaining all the character of such a historic building. The cottage is centrally heated, but also has an open fire in the sitting room. The staircase is rather steep and twisty (so possibly not suitable for the very elderly), but the whole building exudes charm and cosiness. The surroundings are beautiful and particularly peaceful, as Brampton is not on a 'through' road.
