Single storey cottage with secure private garden

“As soon as you open the front door the love comes whooshing out to give you a warm hug, you step through the door to a bungalow and see that it has been maintained to a very high standard and you can feel the love that Ali & Pete the owners have put into making The Grove what it is today.”

The Grove is so tucked away, down a network of designated Quiet Lanes in the hamlet of Edingthorpe.  Thatched cottages, village pond, ancient church and peace and quiet!  The house is a very easy to live in bungalow with some lovely features and surrounded by fields.  One of the things guests will most enjoy are the views out of the sitting room window, across the fields.  Deer, buzzards, bats and so many birds to watch.  The garden is a really good size, fully secure and dog friendly of course!

  • The house is on a dead end lane with a footpath at the end, connecting with a maze of further country paths.
  • Bacton/Witton woods are a mile away, along designated quiet lanes. Perfect for sheltered walks.
  • The coastal village of Bacton is 2 miles away, again an easy walk along quiet lanes.
  • Here you can walk on the beach visit the dog friendly Poachers Pocket pub, Watson’s Cafe or  Cafe Carmel (excellent vegan)
  • Mundesley coastal village is just over 3 miles and has everything from you need.
  • From the front garden and the living room you can regularly see deer, hares, tawny and barn owls, bats and buzzards.
  • If The Grove is booked for your dates (and it is VERY popular!) then maybe look at Woodpecker Lodge, Dormy or Vineyard Cottage

Hello! We are Pete and Ali from The Grove but the photograph is of the true owners: Quinn and Cookie our two wonderful rescue dogs (seen here checking out the new Floors For Paws flooring at The Grove). Here’s a little bit about us!

  • We love ❤️ nature and have hedgehogs living, visiting & breeding in our garden at home. We also have/look after a blind hedgehog from hedgehog rescue.
  • After finishing harvest for the day Pete would often dive straight into to the river Bure at Burgh & go swimming with our dogs.  People even used to come to see them & take photos.
  • Ali’s mum came from several generations of shepherds that’s why we love the picture ‘The Shepherd’s Daughter’ at The Grove.  Apparently sheep were once kept at The Grove too.

We were looking for a property to have as a furnished holiday let & totally fell in love with The Grove the minute we walked through the door ❤️. Being a dog loving family ourselves and knowing how important it is for the doggy members of our families to have great holidays too was the main driving force in setting up The Grove as a dog friendly holiday cottage. Therfore it could only ever be with ERC as they are the absolute best when it comes to dog friendly holidays!

About the property

All about the inside:

Entrance
Through the front door into the hall way with hooks for coats/keys etc.  The flooring in the hall and dining room is Floors For Paws flooring, which is Canine Arthritis Approved flooring.

Sitting room
Lovely large windows with view across fields – a wonderful place to view the setting sun.

There is a three seater leather sofa, a two seater leather sofa and a fabric covered chair – plenty of seating! Throws are provided for these. There is a lovely feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. Hisense 32 inch Smart TV with Netflix account for guest use.  Wooden coffee table, nest of tables and chest/drawer unit for games, books etc and reading lamp with USB charger built in.

Kitchen
This is at the front of the house so that there are views across fields, making washing up a pleasure!  If you don’t want to wash up you can use the built in dishwasher!  There is also a built-in Stoves oven with a double oven/grill.  The hob is halogen and there is a microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge/freezer.  Plenty of space for food storage and surface space for cooking.  Also a built in washing machine.

The floor is tiled with underfloor heating and there is a door straight into the garden.

Just outside the kitchen the hall way cupboard has extra non-slip mats, vacuum cleaner, broom etc.

Dining Room
There is seating at the dining table for 4, a tall book case with games and books for guest use.   A very useful portable table with built in stools is kept in here – ideal for taking into the living room for a tv dinner if you would rather eat in there.   Views out onto the garden.

Front Master Bedroom
This room has a double bed with a black metal frame. There is a bedside cabinet on one side of the bed and on the other side of the bed is a small matching chest of drawers. Bedding is non-feather.  Two bedside lamps have built in USB chargers – very useful!  The views are towards the rather lovely thatched roof of the cottage next door.   There is no wardrobe but a very useful hanging rail/shelf and a full length mirror.

Second bedroom
The bed is a king size in this room and has two bedside cabinets.  There is a wall mirror and very useful hanging rail. Bedding is non-feather here too.  The two bedside lamps have built in USB chargers as in the other bedroom.  The views are out onto the garden.

Bathroom
A modern bathroom with a bath and mixer shower over the bath with a screen.  There are also two hand held showers. Washbasin and lavatory too.

All about the outside:

There is enough parking on the private driveway for up to 4 cars so loads of room!

The side gate gets you into the private and secure garden. The garden is a good size, plenty of grass with a gravel area and hard standing too.  Garden seating for 4 and the entire garden is surrounded by hedging which are all well over six foot tall & also have wire inside them which varies from between five and six foot in height.

The front garden isn’t enclosed but does have a little bench seat for those sunset sundowners!

There is also a Zappi Eco – Smart 7kW Tethered EV Charge Point for guests to use.

Will this property suit my dogs?

Single storey, fully enclosed garden with a high fence all round.  Reactive dogs can relax here and diggers will have a hard time getting out too!  Pretty much perfect for all dogs.  The garden is a good size for running and playing, that’s if they have any energy after all the lovely long local walks or trips to the beaches!
