Enjoy water’s-edge walks direct from the doorstep of this repurposed railway carriage. Sitting on an unspoilt stretch of the North Norfolk coast, the two-bedroomed abode has a lawned garden plus a private lakeside deck and parking – perfect for a pet-loving couple or small family.
Dating from the 1930s, this quirky holiday pad is just 400m from Snettisham beach. Park on the gated driveway, stroll across the lawn and step straight through the conservatory into a charming social space complete with a choice of comfortable seating and a Smart TV. To one end, the dining area exudes cottage-style charm; take your seat for meals fresh from the sleek kitchen and the dog can stay close at all times. When it’s time to sleep, settle him in his bed and retire to your own quarters – the pine-clad small double has its own TV, and is accessed via a children’s bunk bedroom and a contemporary shower room. Enjoy food and drinks in the fresh air while pup explores the enclosed garden in safety, or for a change of scenery take a seat on the lakeside decked area close-by.
The local sailing club makes good use of the lake and sea here, so you’ll have a great view of any sporting action. Snettisham’s beach looks across the Wash and is perfect for tail-wagging walks and doggie paddles; the adjacent RSPB reserve hosts an incredible display of geese when the tides are right. Follow the Norfolk Coast Path 3 miles to Heacham – famous as the home of Norfolk Lavender – or stroll 3.5 miles inland to Snettisham village for a selection of boutique stores and friendly pubs. Historic Sandringham is less than 10 miles away, while resort town Hunstanton is 7 miles.
