With its quintessential brick-and-flint exterior, and suntrap of a garden for doggie snoozes, this charming Norfolk home is wonderful for a break with your pet. It’s in the charming village of Ingoldisthorpe and surrounded by rolling countryside – a haven for dog lovers who enjoy long walks and outdoor fun. The area is known for its dog-friendly beaches, the nearest being 5 miles away, so it’s ideal for sandy adventures with energetic pets. With space for five guests and two canine pals, it’s fab for a family trip or holiday among friends.
Inside, the cottage is tasteful and traditional, with beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork and carefully chosen artwork peppering the crisp white walls – look out, too, for special features like stained glass and wood carvings. The galley-style kitchen has elegant stone work surfaces and everything you need to whip up meals, to be enjoyed around the dining table or out in the lovely garden. The lounge has comfortable seating for relaxation, plus a rug for tired pets to lie on, while the bright conservatory is an excellent spot for morning coffee with your doggies nearby. There’s a family bathroom downstairs for added convenience. Upstairs, three homely bedrooms await – a king-size with an en-suite shower, a snug twin and a single. Outside, the enclosed garden is wonderful for al fresco drinks, while the lawn provides space for pets and children to let off steam. There is parking for one car on drive and additional on-street parking.
This home is surrounded by scenic country and coastal paths to explore, with the coast 3 miles west and lovely sandy beaches like Hunstanton (5.5 miles) and Brancaster (12 miles) both within easy reach. For a bit of urban charm, King’s Lynn (11 miles) is filled with shops and dog-friendly cafes and pubs.
