The Property

Loke Cottage is a charming and spacious two bedroom period cottage, tucked away in the centre of Holt with parking and outside seating.  This Grade II listed cottage forms part of the original workhouse buildings for Holt dating back to 1779 and is located within an easy stroll of everything the Georgian market town of Holt has to offer.  

You enter the cottage into the sitting room, bathed in light from dual aspect windows and you are struck by the sense of space and the feeling of relaxed tranquility.   There is a stripped wood floor and wood burning stove to cosy up around in the cooler months.  Leading from here straight into the kitchen / diner, another well proportioned room with a lovely Chinese slate tiled floor, shaker style kitchen with oak worktops and appliances including washing machine and fridge / freezer.  Nestled in the original fireplace is a gas range oven and there is space for a dining table & chairs.

The stairs lead off from the kitchen up to the hallway above with both bedrooms and family bathroom off.  Both double bedrooms are a really good size and have windows out to the side of the property with plenty of space for a king size bed, bedside tables and bedroom furniture.  The family bathroom features a bath with shower over, wash hand basin, loo and towel rail with a window out to the rear of the cottage.  There is a useful double cupboard on the landing for storage.

Outside

Loke Cottage is approached via a shingled loke from the street, passed a row of pretty cottages that all formed the original workhouse.  

There is a parking space next to the cottage with a small area to sit out in the sunshine with a bistro table and chairs.

There is a handy outside shed attached to the property.



Holiday Let Opportunity

Holiday Let Income:  £11,408 (Apr to Aug 2021)

Holiday Let Occupancy: 124 nights

Loke Cottage was launched to the holiday let market in 2020, so has had a slightly disrupted first two seasons.  It has however been booked solidly thoughout the time that holiday guests have been able to visit North Norfolk.  The cottage is currently marketed by English Country Cottages and the housekeeping is managed by a local cleaning company.  The current owners are not taking further holiday bookings and the cottage can be available free of holiday guests from the end of August 2021.  

Should you wish to carry on with holiday letting, the cottage could be available as a turn key (with all furniture and contents) by separate negotiation and ready to go.



The Location

Loke Cottage is perfectly situated in the centre of town in Holt. It is within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants and super close to Gresham's Prep & Senior schools. Holt is a very popular and charming Georgian market town, close to the North Norfolk coastal villages of Blakeney, Cley-next-the-Sea, Salthouse, Weybourne and Kelling.

There is a fantastic selection of quality independent retailers, boutiques, high street names and interesting antique shops in the centre of the town, alongside the famous Bakers & Larners department store with it's fabulous food court, excellent butchers, bakers, fishmongers and a host of cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs. There is even a steam railway line, with trains to Sheringham every day.

The town has a thriving local community and is very popular with visitors to the area, many of whom support great local events throughout the year, like the Holt Festival in the Summer and the Christmas Lights switch on in the winter. The town is also home to Gresham's a prominent independent school, founded in 1555. There are a number of cultural events held at the school which are open to the public too. The town is just a few miles from the coast and within easy reach of Fakenham, Sheringham & Cromer. There is a useful train service between Sheringham and Norwich which is very handy.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Big Skies Estates is a different type of estate agency. The big idea behind Big Skies Estates was to recognise that many of the properties along the North Norfolk coast have the potential to be both wonderful residential dwellings, either full time or as second homes and also that they could have the potential to generate a second income for their owners as holiday cottages. So, in order to ensure that all the properties we market reach the widest audience, we will give an indication of the potential (or current) income generating potential of the house. Even if new purchasers do not wish to holiday let (and many don't), it can do no harm to know the potential of your new Norfolk purchase; and for some buyers, who would like to see more of a return on the their second home investment, an understanding of second income potential is an essential part of the buying process. We recognise that selling your main residence and your second home are two quite different processes, so we work differently with different types of owners. We are able to help with a strategy specific to you to ensure that your Norfolk home looks its very best for every viewing. It's the small things that make the difference!

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
