It's believed that the name derives from a circus that visited Norwich in the 1930s, which included exotic animals such as bears. After the performances, the bears were transported back to the location of where Bears Grove Cottage stands today.
Originally two estate cottages, the property has been substantially extended and now provides a spacious and highly versatile home. With five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two internal staircases, the layout is perfect for when guests come to stay, giving them their own wing on the first floor.
After purchasing the cottage, the current custodians renovated the home and have taken the interiors to another level.
From the moment you step through the front door there is a feeling of luxury. The attention to detail throughout is outstanding, with a comfortable and relaxed feel worthy of any interior homes magazine.
The ground floor is very flexible and can easily be adapted to suit the needs of different buyers. The library and superb office would make working from home a real pleasure.
Listen to the crackle of the fire in the triple aspect sitting room, or take a seat in the dining room and soak up the garden views, this substantial home has it all. The bespoke kitchen even has the name of the house carved into the drawers.
In addition to the house, the current owners have created the ultimate leisure zone with a detached cinema room/golf simulator. For those wanting to enjoy a film on the big screen with popcorn and privacy then it does not get much better, but the golf simulator is what sets it apart.
Situated within grounds extending over half an acre (STMS), and well-located for Salhouse Broads and the Norwich city centre, whilst still retaining its rural feel, Bears Grove Cottage is faultless.
SALHOUSE Situated a short commute away from Norwich with its many amenities, Salhouse is renowned for its boating culture.
Standing on the river Bure, the village shares its many attractions with the neighbouring village of Wroxham. Whether on the water or congregating in the pubs and restaurants on offer, there is something that will capture the heart of everyone. If you choose to hire a boat, you can travel at a leisurely pace along the broads and moor up at one of the local pubs. The Ferry Inn at Horning serves food all day and offers a fantastic outdoor space and plenty of mooring.
If you would rather stay on dry land, you can head to the park at the recreation ground, wander through the riverside park in Hoveton and feed the ducks, enjoy afternoon tea at one of the quaint tea rooms or simply sit and watch the boats go by.
The popular village pub, The Bell, has recently come under new ownership and is in the process of being refurbished ready for opening its doors again.
The Bure Valley railway, which started in 1900, begins its journey in the centre of Wroxham. Both a steam and diesel train run the 18 mile round trip, taking you on a tour of pretty Norfolk villages and ending in Aylsham.
A fun family day out can be had at Wroxham Barns, where crafts activities and a Junior Zoo are two of the many activities to enjoy, finishing off with a piece of homemade cake or perhaps a Norfolk brewed cider. For sailing enthusiasts, the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club is situated close by, offering a large club house, ample mooring and many organised events for both members and guests.
A gem in the Norfolk countryside, Salhouse offers plenty to see and do, whilst being easily accessible by car, train, bus and perhaps even boat from Norwich and the coast.
