A handsome brick and flint property with a secluded enclosed lawn, set in the idyllic Norfolk village of Docking. This breezy coastal escape is guaranteed to be a hit with adventure-seekers and up to four waggy-tailed travellers. Beach babes can snuffle in rockpools on the stripey cliff-backed shores of Old Hunstanton Beach (8 miles), before scoffing a bowl of al fresco kibble in the garden.
This thoughtfully designed home boasts a fresh ocean-inspired interior with crisp neutral tones, striped fabrics, and seascape artwork. Unclip harnesses and dry sandy paws in the elegant entranceway. Pad into the airy kitchen/diner and raid the shaker cabinets for an afternoon snack and select a meaty chew for Fido. Perch at the cosy breakfast table with a brew or congregate in the light-dappled dining space for a sociable supper. In summer months, pop a bottle of bubbly and throw open the patio doors to enjoy a balmy indoor-outdoor living experience. Step beneath the open archway into the stylish lounge and stretch out on the plush seating. Crack open the chocolates or unwind with a film while your pup stretches their paws by the roaring wood burner. When night arrives, rest up in the three beautifully styled bedrooms with thick throws and plump pillows. Choose from a ground-floor double or ascend the stairs to discover an en-suite double and a bright twin. After being hounded out for a morning saunter, tuck into warm pastries and fresh coffee on the wooden garden furniture.
Enjoy sandy-pawed zoomies along the swoop of golden sand at Brancaster (5 miles) before settling in for a round with the hound. Scamper through salt marshes and spot the thriving wildlife inhabiting Holkham National Nature Reserve (10 miles) or set noses twitching as you explore the ephemeral ponds of Syderstone Common (6 miles).
