About this property
Brig Cottage | East Ruston Cottages. Scratby, Norfolk
The seaside village location, 600m away from the beach means that it is perfect for a dog welcoming Norfolk break. Easy access to the huge beach with a village pub, tea room, takeaway, bakery and shop. Plenty of choices on your doorstep!
ALL ABOUT THE INSIDE
Enter into the hallway: A really good size and welcoming hallway with a cupboard exclusively for dogs accessories and plenty of room for boots and shoes too. A pine unit is great for more storage and has a choice of local leaflets and guides for you. Just off this is the …..
Kitchen: A beautifully styled galley kitchen, with wooden worktop and very well fitted out with plenty of crockery and cutlery. Fitted oven plus an electric hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and a fridge all fitted in. There is an additional fridge/freezer in the outside shed with a good amount of space in both.
Also just off the hall is the ….
Shower room. Fully tiled and fitted, with shower, toilet and heated towel rail.
Open plan living/dining area The two sofas provide plenty of seating in this bright and airy room. There is a TV with access to Netflix, Prime etc or switch it off and enjoy the good selection of games. The seaside theme here is really lovely with lots of homely touches and seaside photos. The dining table seats 6 very comfortably and the floor is solid all the way through. All restful colours and lots of light. Perfect to come home to after a day on the beach!
Conservatory with views and doors opening onto the rear south facing garden. Sit on the leather sofa here and there are a pair of traditional grandfather chairs to relax in too.
Upstairs: There is a door that opens up to the stairs from the living area – traditional cottage style so steep and with a 45 degree turn but they are carpeted and have a hand rail to make getting up and down them easier. These lead to a hall way with a dressing table and views to the rear garden as well as access to the bedrooms.
Double bedroom: There is a King size bed in this lovely light room with plenty of storage space, hooks for hanging, a full length mirror and carpeted floor.
Twin bedroom: In here there are two single beds with wooden frames and brand new memory foam mattresses, hanging space, bedside tables and lamps.
Upstairs Bathroom and shower room. Modern and very well fitted bath and shower cubicle with toilet and sink.
ALL ABOUT THE OUTSIDE
The fully enclosed garden has a good size decking area with garden furniture and a secure garden shed for guest use. This contains the BBQ and a freezer (ideal for raw dog feeders – don't forget you can order your raw dog food from our recommended local suppliers with free delivery here). There is also a travel cot, high chair and dog crates (if needed) and the shed provides great storage for any seaside equipment. There is also an outside boiler room ideal for drying wet suits and beach gear, wet dog towels too.
Boundary: There are 5ft+ high solid fences to one side and the back. Along the other side is a tall evergreen hedge with mesh bedded within it to stop small dogs getting through.
You can relax knowing you are not overlooked anywhere in the garden.
Parking: There is room for one car right in front of the cottage, off road and another can be parked very nearby in the off road pull in area.
WILL IT SUIT YOUR DOGS?
If your dog is happy with a small amount of surrounding residential noise (and there aren't a lot as the cottage has very thick walls and is set back from the road) then they should be fine. There are no dogs or people that can be seen from the cottage or garden. You will find other dogs being walked along Beach Road. The courtyard garden isn't huge but it is very secure. Once on the beach dogs are allowed off lead year round.
