2 Star⭐⭐

Stable Cottage  is situated in a residential but quiet area of North Walsham market town.  All the cottages are off the residential road and contained in the grounds of Marshgate House.  Once inside, you cannot see the residential road.

Stable Cottage has a cottage garden (non grassed, cobbled) which is secured by a 5 feet wall one side (with entry gate)., a 5 feet wall (with fencing above) on the facing side the the cottage and on the third side (left hand side of exiting the cottage) a 3.5 feet picket fence (at lowest point).  This fenced section leads to the owners garden which is also secured by a 6 feet wall all around (including a closed exit gate) so if access was gained to this area, dogs are still secure.

 The exit gate from Stable Cottage leads to a shared (with The Dairy) outer parking courtyard.  The outer courtyard is totally secure, with 9 feet locked gates leading to the road outside.

The cottage garden is accessed directly from the open plan kitchen / dining / living room doors and dogs can be supervised/seen from all the downstairs windows in Stable Cottage.

The wall shared with The Dairy has a courtyard garden on the other side and this means that you may hear dogs in the adjoining property on occasion.  Please bear this in mind if you have a noise reactive dog.

There is a quiet field walk to the side of the properties but note you may meet the occasional other dog walker.  We have had no reports of bird scarers in this location but as it is residential you may hear other dogs bark on occasion.

There are no passers by as the unit is self contained and cannot be seen.

Parking is in the shared outer courtyard (shared with The Dairy) and once the outer 9 feet gates are closed, it is totally secure.
