Jubilee Lodge

Thetford sits at the edge of Breckland, surrounded by forest, heathland and the gentle countryside of Norfolk. Richmond Park Golf Club, which winds along the River Wissey, is the focal point here—it has a driving range, putting green and a clubhouse, plus lessons if you want them. Jubilee Lodge sits on its grounds, a three-bedroom New England-style house that overlooks the 18th green and comes with half-price green fees for anyone who books.

The property sleeps six and is yours alone. Ground floor has an open-plan living and dining space, plus a kitchen equipped for cooking. Upstairs are three bedrooms—two with zip-and-link beds that can be configured as doubles or singles, one with two singles—and a shower room. A separate ensuite comes off the main bedroom. Essentials like wi-fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. A courtyard with garden furniture sits to one side, and parking is in the club car park.

The area suits walkers and cyclists: Thetford Forest is minutes away, threading through with the Peddars Way route, and the flatter terrain makes for easy days out. A fishing lake lies just across the road if you fancy trying that instead. A pub is within a mile. No smoking inside the property.
