This attractive detached thatched holiday home dating back to the Tudor period has been tastefully renovated and is full of charm and character, with many of the original features, such as the large inglenook fireplaces, the wonderful beamed rooms with an Aga in the kitchen. Situated in the interesting village of Banham, close to the village green and opposite the Church of St Mary’s the virgin. One of the key attractions is Banham Zoo which is close by, and has up to 1,000 animals, ranging from big cats to birds of prey. The zoo has 35 acres of beautiful parkland and gardens.
