1 / 16The Lodge - Fakenham
Fakenham, Norfolk
A two bedroom reverse level home for four in Fakenham in Norfolk, with bedrooms downstairs, an enclosed courtyard and two dogs welcome.
Sleeping happens downstairs here and living happens up. That inversion is the whole character of this house and it suits a dog better than the usual arrangement does: the animal sleeps on the ground floor beside the door it uses, and the people go up to the room with the light in it. The Lodge inverts the usual plan at Fakenham in Norfolk, four across two bedrooms, dog friendly, with two dogs allowed.
Both bedrooms are on that lower floor in quiet neutral colours, with a shower room beside them, so the entire sleeping half of the house is level with the outside and no dog has to be carried up or coaxed down at midnight.
Upstairs is one open space: a kitchen at one end with the equipment for a real meal rather than a holiday one, a dining table in the middle and plush seating at the far end. Two dogs work out quickly that the interesting floor is the top one and the comfortable floor is the bottom one, and they will use both. Outside, to the front, there is a private enclosed courtyard with furniture in it. The neighbouring lodge can be booked with this one when a party of six needs two front doors and one address.
Fakenham stands as the last town of any size before the coast, ten miles short of it, which makes it somewhere to work outward from, and arable begins a few streets away. Two dogs get pavement and then arable, in that order, most mornings.
