2 bedroom cottage

Guide Price £275,000 to £300,000

A delightful cottage, 11 High Street is situated in the historic village of Walsingham, offering easy access to the beautiful North Norfolk coast. The property has served as a much-loved second home for our vendor for the past 10 years.

Benefiting from access via both the High Street and Friday Market Place, the cottage is just a short stroll from all the village amenities – whether you’re soaking up the charm of its rich history, enjoying the local eateries and shops, or simply relaxing in the courtyard while the sun shines.

Originally built in 1615, the cottage is Grade II listed and was extended by a previous owner to include a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room. This room enjoys views of the courtyard through its French doors and offers a sociable space for dining. The two reception rooms face the high street and provide a cosy, snug atmosphere, where modern soft furnishings sit comfortably alongside retained period features.

Not much changes in the village – and that’s part of its enduring appeal. Our vendor has especially enjoyed the nearby pub, which is within walking distance. It is with sadness that it’s now time to find a new custodian to enjoy what they describe as a wonderful, peaceful and quaint cottage haven. The property is offered for sale with no upward chain.

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, high end wine shop and bar , 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.
