About this house sitting position in Diss

3 bedroom, 2 bathroom dormy Bungalow sitting in nearly 1/2 acre in quiet lane, in rural village on Suffolk/Norfolk boarder set in 1/2 acre.
Lots of walks, nature reserves, places of interest. The Fen in our lane is a photographers paradise and is a Site of Scientific Interest. Colours of the trees in this area are stunning this time of year. Quiet relaxing environment.
Knettishall Heath is only a short while away and a walkers paradise. With wild Horses rooming around and lots of wildlife.
We even get regular visits in the garden from Deer, Woodpeckers, Garden birds of all kinds. You can also see the local Buzzards circle above us calling and if you reply to them will circle and come back to you. Bird watches heaven. It’s lovely to sit in the conservatory with a Coffee and see them eating off of our feeding stations.

Our Poultry of Chickens, Ducks, need to be let out, feed and shut up at night everyday. Garden and Greenhouses may need watering depending on time of year. Not arduous. The Fish ponds, Canaries, Budgies aviary,Guinea pigs and indoor pet Cockatiel need to be fed daily. Once done all day is free for your enjoyment. The Cockatiel will keep you amused for hours. He lives in doors with us.
Canaries are in a bird room and Budgies in aviary. Once a day easy feeding. Once feed all is done fore the day.
Very easy feeding, just seed and water.
It’s a bird lovers Paradise at Magpies House.

It’s so relaxing to sit with Coffee in the conservatory and watch the wild bird life on the feeding stations.

Reviews for Coral

5 stars stars
“We had a wonderful time house and pet sitting for Coral and Ray! From the start, they were very welcoming and giving us helpful tips. Their pets were an absolute joy—funny and full of personality, especially Barney the cockatiel.
The nature reserve around the corner is just beautiful for walks and the berries in their street made great jam.
The house was cozy and we immediately felt at home. Coral stayed in touch just the right amount, making sure we had everything we needed. It was a pleasure caring for their home and animal companions. A truly positive experience from beginning to end. Thanks again, take care and stay well, both of you! Warm hugs from Danni and René.
