2 bedroom cottage for sale

Nestled within a charming loke within Blakeney High Street, this quintessential two bedroom cottage boasts immaculate interiors, a wealth of character inside and out, and of course an idyllic location in the heart of one of the north Norfolk coastline's most attractive and sought-after locations, just a stone's throw from the Quayside.

Having enjoyed an expert renovation throughout its current ownership, this well-balanced cottage enjoys intelligent use of space alongside impressive, yet charming, accommodation.

The front door leads straight to the traditional shaker kitchen, topped with solid granite and housing a full suite of integrated appliances. The sweet dining area makes excellent use of a window seat with ample room for four around the table.

The welcoming sitting room next door is every bit as embracing as one would expect from a characterful coastal cottage; exposed timbers, a wood-burning stove and solid wood flooring make for an idyllic space to share memories with friends and family, or simply enjoy a good book.

The first floor is home to two equally characterful bedrooms. The impressive principal bedroom comfortably houses a king-size bed alongside a wealth of other large furniture and even built-in storage. The delightful second bedroom features some fun, bespoke made, three ft. wide built-in bunkbeds, once again making the very best of the space available at Parsley Cottage with more space available in this room for storage and other furnishings.

Both bedrooms are well-served by the stylish central family bathroom, complete with hardwood cabinetry and even a waterproof television built into the foot of the bath.

Outside, just on the other side of the loke, is the pretty and enclosed courtyard garden. This area is perfect for relaxing in the sun, enjoying BBQs and 'al-fresco' dining. 

BLAKENEY It would be hard to find a spot which reflects the beauty of the Norfolk coast better than Blakeney. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, its picture perfect location is made for Instagram-worthy shots of moored boats on mud flats, under big blue skies.

When the tide's touching the shoreline, untie your laces and dip your toes in, take the plunge or push off with a slow drift along coastal inlets on a paddleboard or boat to lose yourself in nature's finest backdrop. Forage some samphire for a taste of the coast, try your hand at catching a crab on the quay, or join the tourists and take a boat trip with Bean's to spot the seals bobbing along on the water.

Despite the relaxed scene, Blakeney was once a bustling medieval port and the village's Guildhall and Church of St Nicholas are evidence of its rich, trading past which continued until the mid-19th century. As ships grew in size and the harbour silted up, trade fell away and today only small boats can pass Blakeney Point and head out to sea. Today, the nature reserve surrounding Blakeney Point is owned by the National Trust and thousands of nesting and migratory birds provide a twitcher's paradise where the tweets are tech-free.

Peace and, if you seek it, solitude are easily found in Blakeney, but if you are looking for company there are plenty of places to meet and make friends. Local boys Grey Seal Coffee roast their beans at nearby Glandford and its café is a great stop for a caffeine hit – nab a bag or two and even some spent grounds for your garden. The White Horse and, for a fancy supper, The Blakeney Hotel are iconic spots to eat, and Wiveton Hall Fruit Farm Café – famed by owner Desmond MacCarthy's Normal for Norfolk BBC series – is a great summer destination.

Teeming with character, there are plenty of pretty brick and flint fishermen's cottages in hollyhock-lined lanes, known locally as lokes, leading off the high street, along with incredible coastal family houses and stunning new developments. Blakeney truly is a place to discover your next Norfolk home.
