Property information

The Old Fire Station is charming, quaint and quirky. The building has had a varied life - originally built to house the town Fire Pump - later converted to the town toilets !! It is a fully equipped small home - a good base and well placed to explore the surrounding areas. It is strategically placed in the heart of the town, amid all the hustle and bustle.

Neighbourhood information

It is quite quirky staying in the old town Fire Station ! Brandon is a small market town. Famous for its Flint Knapping. The local Country Park has wonderful walking and little coffee shop. A few miles away you can find High Lodge - a wonderful exciting day out in Thetford Forest. If you are feeling really fit try out Go Ape - I am told its really good fun but exhausting ! Brandon is well placed and equal distance to Kings Lynn. Ipswich and Norwich. Norwich is my local City where you can find everything you would want - everything ! Bury St Edmunds is a thriving local market town with great independent shops and Abbey ruins. For the Dads Army fans - you can visit the museum in Thetford - many famous episodes were filmed in the surrounding areas. The fantastic north Norfolk coast is about one hour from your accommodation - wonderful seascapes - seals - Sandringham - all the joys of Norfolk. What else can I say ? - come and visit us.
