Take two lucky pups to this characterful two-bedroom cottage, ideal for a group of friends, a couple looking for a romantic break or a family looking for a peaceful retreat in an idyllic Suffolk village. Walsham-le-Willows is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside, and your pups can lead you on walks right from the doorstep.
This gorgeous two-storey cottage showcases beautiful traditional features, including exposed timber frames, and blends them effortlessly with contemporary comforts. Downstairs, this historic cottage has been thoughtfully designed to offer a practical open-plan living space which is the heart of the home, and the result is strikingly beautiful. It’s so homely, you might struggle to leave! The cosy living room has a low beamed ceiling and offers comfortable seating arranged around an inglenook chimney, now housing a wood burner to take the chill off on cooler evenings. Your four-legged friends are spoilt for choice for a favourite spot to snooze while you enjoy watching a movie on the Smart TV. The kitchen is spacious and with plenty of woodwork surfaces to retain the country style, it also has everything you need to easily prepare memorable meals. A shower room with WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find a king-size bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and an en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with a single bed. Outside, to the front of the cottage, is a small, enclosed paved courtyard with a bistro table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee.
There are plenty of great attractions to explore, including Thetford Forest Park (16 miles), which has many woodland trails for your pups to sniff out an adventure. Bury St Edmunds (12 miles) is perfect if you need to shop and has a 55-acre park at Hardwick Heath for when the hounds need to run off the lead and meet some other four-legged friends. Alternatively, visit the National Trust’s Ickworth (17 miles), where your dog can lead you through miles of parkland and ancient woodland and back to the dog-friendly cafe!
