This brick-and-flint cottage is just a few streets from the beach in one of North Norfolk’s premier seaside towns. A conservatory and enclosed garden complement the pretty interior, creating a charming coastal retreat for five people and a pair of canine companions.
Period features, chic furnishings and a neutral colour scheme define this terraced property. With two comfortable sofas, a wood burner-effect electric fire and a TV for entertainment, the lounge provides the warmest of welcomes. A traditional dining suite to the rear of the room has elbow space for everyone – enjoy good food and lively conversation after cooking up a treat in the cottage-style kitchen. A conservatory extends your living space and is a great spot to let sleeping dogs lie. And, for the humans, there are three beautifully presented first-floor bedrooms: two doubles and a small double, plus a family bathroom. The splendid garden here is fully enclosed, with paving and a decked area – Fido can unwind sand-free while you sit in the sunshine.
Cromer is the quintessential seaside town – stroll along the prom and shoreline before a local-delicacy lunch: dressed crab. Less than 5 miles along the coast, Sheringham is a similarly popular setting for sandcastles and ice creams; at low tide enjoy a walk along the beach between the two and you’ll meet plenty of like-minded dog-lovers. For a change of scenery, the National Trust’s Felbrigg Hall is just 3 miles inland; there’s parkland for Fido to explore and a pet-friendly tearoom and shop. Close to the historic Georgian town that shares its name, Holt Country Park (10.5 miles) offers 100 acres of mixed woodland for more waggy-tailed fun.
