Take a break to the Norfolk coast and find your home-from-home in this charming dog-friendly property in Wells-next-the-Sea. Boasting generously sized rooms throughout, a fantastic multi-level garden and a sunroom, you’ll be able to relax in comfort come rain or shine. Discover the Holkham National Nature Reserve (1 mile) and you’ll get the chance to spot wildlife amongst the rare and precious habitats, from salt marsh and sand dunes to pine woodland.

The living room is a cosy space where you can put your feet up and relax each day, furnished with two sumptuous sofas and a flame-effect burner for the chilly months of the year. Step through the archway and you’ll find yourself in the light, bright dining room which is a versatile space with another sofa for comfort. When it’s time to fix up a feast, you’ll be impressed by how spacious the kitchen is with more than enough storage for snacks and produce during your stay, as well as a table seating two. Completing the ground floor is the sunny conservatory-style room, furnished with a rattan table and chairs so that you can sit and watch the wildlife in the garden. On the first floor, you’ll find three bedrooms, one double, one twin and one bunk room. Each of these rooms boasts wooden furniture and drawers. Finally, there is a wood-clad family bathroom in a cool shade of blue which offers a brilliant spot for a long evening soak in the bathtub. Outside, the patio area features a table and chairs for alfresco dining, whilst the lawn area is a good size for games or letting your dog stretch their legs.

Just 2 miles from your doorstep, you’ll find Wells-next-the-Sea Beach, offering the opportunity to join the Norfolk Coast Path for a walk across the rugged paths to Scolt Head Island and Brancaster Beach. For a quintessential British beach experience, head to Hunstanton (16 miles) and you’ll find amusements, rock pools and a picturesque pier which looks particularly breathtaking at sunset. In Hunstanton, there is also a championship links golf course, and the SEA LIFE aquarium, making it a great option for all the family.

The pluses of this house is its location to shops, harbour, pubs etc. Its quiet. There is enough safe parking for up to 3 cars. The downside is its a tired looking house in need of updating. The carpets are badly stained. The downstairs cloakroom needs updating. The garden furniture was rotten & needs replacing.
