Do your pets love frolicking on large lawns and taking long, energetic walks through stunning countryside? A stay at this gorgeous period property will tick both those boxes – it’s set on an acre of land ready for you to explore with your whiskered companions. Human guests, meanwhile, will be wowed by its charming traditional features and celeb-worthy appeal. With room for eight people and two dogs, this stunning house is ideal for a large family holiday or a trip among friends.
The inside of this gorgeous brick home looks like the pages of a glossy magazine – think polished natural wooden floors, pretty mullion windows, elegant printed curtains and quirky artefacts/artwork dotted around. After busy days exploring, stretch out on the stylish leather button-back sofas while your pets do the same by the open fire. In the large open-plan living area, a pretty chandelier adorns the space while a spiral staircase leads up to the first floor. The chef-quality kitchen has a range cooker, all the copper pots you could ever need plus a top-quality coffee machine for those morning brews. Outside, there’s a huge landscaped garden plus a BBQ and pizza oven for fair-weather feasts you can enjoy under the pergola.
You’ll be half a mile from the village of Swanton Morley which has a few independent shops plus a great pub where dogs are welcome in the bar and garden. From your front door, you can walk to the nearby waterfalls (1 mile) and sniff out some walkies along the river. Dogs ready to burn off some serious energy? Drive 20 miles north and you’ll hit the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can explore miles and miles of trails over marshes, cliffs and sand dunes. The cathedral city of Norwich (17.5 miles) is also well worth a day trip.
