1 / 24Toolmakers Cottage
Syderstone, Norfolk
A three bedroom cottage for six at Syderstone in Norfolk, with a private enclosed garden, three bathrooms, a wood burner and four dogs welcome.
Four dogs, and no child under the age of twelve. That pairing is rare enough to be worth stating first, because it settles what sort of week this house is for: adults, older children, and more animals than most places will consider. Toolmakers Cottage gives over three bedrooms to six at Syderstone in Norfolk, four dogs allowed and dog friendly in a way very few houses are.
The entrance hall is not a corridor. It is furnished as a room, a sofa pulled up close to a wood burner set in it, and it is where the coats and boots live as well, so what greets you inside the door is somewhere warm to sit while four dogs are dried off. Very few houses give that job a room of its own.
Past it the lounge does the evening properly, with a gas fire and comfortable seating, and the kitchen and diner has a range-style oven and a table big enough for all six. The laundry is out of the way in a utility. Three bathrooms serve three bedrooms, one en-suite and one at ground level. Outside, the garden is private and enclosed, a patio carrying the furniture and a stone barbecue built into one corner, and four dogs get all of it at once.
Syderstone belongs to a part of north Norfolk that is nothing but small villages and hamlets, one every mile or two, joined by lanes that carry almost nothing. Four dogs get a different village at the end of every walk and no reason to see the same hedge twice.
