Fenside | East Ruston Cottages | Cottage in Catfield
4 Bedroom Cottage in Irstead, Catfield
Fully escape in this stunning, serene space in a huge (2 acre) wildflower meadow, with hammocks, a fire pit, and, at the bottom of the huge garden, river frontage leading directly onto Barton Broad (accessed through a gate for the safety of children and dogs). The fun and funky 1960's property is really spacious and light, with a modern kitchen and a big living/dining space for socialising and relaxing. Some great colours too, making it really vibrant!
Kitchen
There is an electric oven and halogen four-ring hob, dishwasher, microwave, slow cooker and fridge with ice box (further fridge and freezer in boiler room). Plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery for entertaining all. Also some basic food supplies which will vary from guest to guest. There is a Krups Nespresso machine for guests to use.
Utility/Boiler Room
There is a laundry room which houses a washer and dryer for guest use. There is also a further fridge and a freezer overflow in this room. Great if you feed raw and want to store the dog food away from the kitchen area.
Open plan lounge/diner
This large, bright room has views over the gardens. The large dining table is the perfect place for up to ten guests to eat together. There is an inset wood burner for those colder nights in the middle of the wall; a great feature. Plus comfortable sofa and chair seating and a large TV with Freesat and Blu-Ray player. There are doors to the front of the property and large sliding patio doors leading to the decking area and BBQ. Wonderful to leave open on a sunny day and fill the house with fresh air.
Bedroom 1
Beyond the lounge is bedroom 1 with king size bed with bedside tables and a walk-in wardrobe. Double sliding doors lead out to the decking for the perfect place to have your morning brew. There is an en suite bathroom with walk in shower, WC and wash basin.
Bedroom 2
Turn right out of the kitchen and down the hall are the further bedrooms. At the bottom on the left is Bedroom 2 with king size bed. This room also has sliding doors out to the decking. There are built in wardrobes down the other wall with plenty of storage. This room also has an en suite with walk in shower, WC and wash basin.
Bedroom 3
Opposite Bedroom 2 is Bedroom 3 with king size bed. Built in wardrobes for storage and views down the huge garden and on to the broad.
Bedroom 4
Back down the hall to Bedroom 4 which has two sets of full size bunk beds being the perfect sleep out room for up to 4 children. There are two small chests of drawers and a single wardrobe. There is further storage and hanging space in the large sliding cupboards in the hall.
Family bathroom
This large main bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.
Plenty of parking on the shingle driveway for up to 5 cars. This area can be closed off by a large 5 bar gate at the entrance. There is an EV charger for guests to use (charged at 50p per kWh).
The garden wraps around the property to the right and leads down to the huge back garden. Laid to grass with fencing all around the boundary. A large gate gives access to the broad at the bottom where guests can launch their own boats, paddle board and kayaks. At the bottom of the garden there is a fire pit to enjoy through the evenings. There is a Wendy house for children to play in and a sunken trampoline and so many smells for dogs to discover!
From the property, guests can enjoy the large decking area. There is seating for all, charcoal BBQ and a great place to stargaze on an evening and sunbathe during the day!
Due to the very rural location, the WiFi comes through a dongle and is fine but not fast. Hot-spotting from phones is usually absolutely fine but please don't expect a fast connection. No smoking in the house please. All major supermarkets deliver here, if you do make an order – please make sure it is delivered after your arrival. The access road is single track and unmade, as you might expect for such an off-the-beaten-track location!What we provide - for the humans Open plan kitchen diner All bed linen and towels supplied (bath and hand towel per person) Accommodation all on one level 2 x Hairdryers Table tennis table, footballs and goals and basket ball net for holiday games (as well as the garden for hide and seek or frisbee games!)
