A traditional Showman's Wagon

This wagon was built around 1900 for a travelling fairground showman. It has been lovingly restored maintaining the original features. There is a romantic double bedroom, cooking facilities, water & wood stove. A seperate personal shower and loo across the lawn.A small private garden and a large verandah with glorious views over acres of meadowland. This beautiful wagon still has the ornate original features, cut glass mirrors and windows bearing the Showman's initials. These light up the mahogany and gold leaf interior. There is a wood stove, a four ring gas hob and fridge that have been installed along with running water. All cooking utensils are provided. The bedroom has a 4'6"double and underneath where the children would have slept is a 3'6" cupboard bed. There is a personal, separate shower and toilet room across the garden. Guests have their own entrance gate and gardens. There is a parking space outside on the quiet track or within the garden. I will be available to welcome you on your arrival to give you the key and will help with any queries. Stay in Bert's Wagon in it's tranquil setting with a view over open fields and the River Wensum. Open your door to the east morning sun and breakfast on the verandah overlooking a 6 acre meadow. Watch the buzzard family flying on the thermals and the nesting Marsh Harriers on the lake at the bottom. Each autumn and winter evening the rooks and geese will give you a personal flyover and barn owls search the field for prey daily. Explore the myriad of footpaths encompassing the open parkland of Raynham Hall, woods, river and lime avenues. Enjoy this dream escape with walks and bike rides from the wagon door and the sea a 20 min drive to the beautiful expanse of the North Norfolk Coast. There is only one bus a week from the village but 2 miles away in Rudham Village there are regular bus connections to Kings Lynn and Fakenham where connections to Norwich and the Coast leave regularly. Several good pubs are easy bike rides away, between 2 and 6 miles. The nearest food shops are in Fakenham which is 3 miles. There are steps to and from the wagon door that are fairly steep but hand rails have been added. No pets are allowed.
