About this property
Grad II Historic Cottage
Substantial Kitchen Dining Room
Oak Ceiling Beams
Large Reception Room
Inglenook Fireplace
Two Double Bedrooms
Separate Garden Annex
Stunning Countryside Views
Off Street Parking
Nestled within the historic village of Houghton St Giles, this enchanting Grade II Listed cottage perfectly captures the romance of country living while offering all the comforts required for modern life.
The cottage revolves around two wonderfully atmospheric reception rooms, each brimming with character. The kitchen dining room is everything one hopes to find in a Norfolk cottage. Beneath exposed ceiling timbers, the warm tones of the traditional Norfolk pamment tiled floor combine beautifully with the red brick chimney breast, within which an Everhot oven sits proudly at its heart. Adjacent is an equally captivating sitting room where centuries of history seem woven into the very fabric of the building. Ancient beams span overhead while a magnificent inglenook fireplace forms an impressive focal point.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms enjoy an abundance of natural light, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. Both rooms are blessed with far-reaching views across western countryside. The accommodation is completed by a spacious family bathroom on the first floor, while a practical ground-floor shower room and utility provide additional convenience for everyday living.
Immediately beyond the kitchen is a wonderfully private and sheltered terrace with steps that rise to a lawned garden where an attractive oak-framed annex sits. Whether used as a home office or gym, it offers remarkable flexibility. Behind, uninterrupted views stretch eastwards across the open farmland of the Walsingham Estate, while the west-facing decked terrace enjoys a glorious outlook towards the tower of St Giles’ Church. To the front, gravelled off-street parking provides space for two vehicles.
No 121 is more than simply a cottage; it is a home of North Norfolk, character, history, views, privacy and an exceptional connection to the landscape that surrounds it.
Walsingham
The pretty village of Walsingham attracts pilgrims, artists, birdwatchers and those seeking a slower pace of life.
The village has many fine period cottages, offers good local shopping including a vibrant farm shop, and has a popular restaurant, a good pub and a primary school. It is well known throughout the country as a religious centre with pilgrimages to the Anglian Shrine and Slipper Chapel at nearby Houghton St Giles.
Nearby is wonderful Wells! With its sandy beach and pretty candy-striped huts, it’s easy to understand why this sleepy coastal town is a Mecca for day trippers and holiday makers, but there are plenty of reasons to make Wells-next-the-Sea your permanent home and explore this sweet spot forever.
There are plenty of ways to explore the waterways that surround the area. For a nautical adventure, jump aboard one of the Coastal Exploration Company’s traditional wooden sailing boats and adventure hidden creeks, marshes and open sea. Or test your balance with a stand-up paddle boarding session with Barefoot sup.
The lanes behind the harbour and surrounding the town have plenty of tucked-away fishermen’s cottages which are highly sought after, as are apartments with sea views in the converted buildings overlooking the harbour. Head out of the town centre to discover plenty of spacious, grand houses along with fantastic new-build developments which are ideal for young families and downsizers alike. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a gp surgery and library.
