Number 39 would formerly have served as a tied cottage to the local farm - as part of the Holkham Estate. In more recent years the cottage - originally built in 1869 - has been privately owned and it was transformed little more than half a decade ago. Combining period charm with a contemporary design leaves us with a stunning home and garden.
Our seller has found that every aspect of the property gives you something different: "Beautiful views of open countryside from every window, a lovely south-facing garden, lush green landscapes, natural beauty, and wildlife - what more could you want?" Their favourite views are standing at the front gates watching the world go by or looking out from the Juliet balcony doors with field views as far as the eye can see.
For buyers looking to escape to the country, this property has it all. It's been beautifully maintained and the extension has provided a sociable kitchen/family room. With its bi-fold doors which feed onto the pretty courtyard, it's just the first of so many hidden gems. The sitting room is made cosy by its wood-burning stove and upstairs the principal bedroom suite is simply stunning - with its built in wardrobes, en-suite and Juliet balcony.
In its current ownership, the garden has been completely remodelled and boundaries have been made secure by fencing. The installation of a cabin to the rear garden has increased the capacity for entertaining and this multi-functional space also provides a delightful home office, nestled within the corner of the plot. Alongside the garage, store and the summer house, adequate provision has been made for sociability and storage.
The village itself is small and declined between the 15th and 16th centuries. The All Saints Church Tower of Godwick still stands today and can be visited. The Great Barn (now a wedding venue) is one of the most important buildings of its date and type in Norfolk. Built in 1586 for the Coke family of Holkham Hall.
It has to be said, our seller has immersed themselves into the village and the area, giving them greater access to the outdoors, satisfying a thirst for exercise fresh air - enjoyed further with a modest drive to the north Norfolk coast. It is with a heavy heart that our vendor is moving, given that this cottage has been a calm and peaceful place to unwind, get away from a busier life, and one they described as "the perfect balance – one which I shall miss deeply"...
