Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

Ivy Cottage is a superb Grade II Listed house situated right in the heart of the historic amenity rich village of Little Walsingham.  The current owners have carried out an extensive programme of refurbishment to now provide characterful flexible accommodation well laid out over 3 storeys. To the ground floor, there is a large kitchen/breakfast room with a utility area, dining room, cosy sitting room, games room and a cloakroom. The first floor landing leads to 3 bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom with a further bedroom/office on the second floor.  A hidden drop down staircase leads to a further 'secret' attic room.

A wealth of period features remain including fireplaces, 3 of which house wood burning stoves, exposed beams, traditional panelled doors, exposed floorboards and sash windows.  Together with the period aesthetic finishes, modern conveniences abound such as a well appointed fitted kitchen, luxury bathrooms with traditional suites, oil-fired central heating with column radiators and an electric vehicle charge point.

Outside, there is driveway parking to the side and a charming walled courtyard garden to the rear with a useful outbuilding.  Unrestricted parking is also available in the vicinity.

Ivy Cottage is being offered for sale with no onward chain and has been a much loved second home and holiday lettings business for the current owners.  Much of the furniture, fixtures are fittings are available by separate negotiation (excluding some of the artwork and arcade machines).



The Medieval village of Little Walsingham is a centre of pilgrimage, it has two main Shrines: the 14th Century Slipper Chapel is the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady and the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, while the Abbey grounds contain the ruins of the original Priory founded in 1153.

For a village of its size, Little Walsingham supports an amazing number of shops, mainly tourist/pilgrim shops but also a mini-supermarket, tea shops and 2 public houses.  An old farmyard (owned by the Walsingham Estate) has been converted into a range of shops which boast the award winning Farm Shop. The village also has a doctor's surgery and a primary school.  Linking Little Walsingham to the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea, some 4 miles away, is the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway.  Little Walsingham is centrally located for Holt, Burnham Market, Wells-next-the-Sea and the market town of Fakenham.

    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
