Kettlestone is a small, tranquil village lying about 5 miles east of the market town of Fakenham and roughly 22 miles north-west of Norwich and embodies the classic rural Norfolk settlement, with homes and farms spread mainly along a single east–west street and the hamlet of Pensthorpe included within the parish boundary. The surrounding countryside offers peaceful, open views and easy access to nature, including the nearby Pensthorpe Natural Park along the River Wensum. The village has a long history, with its name originating from the Old English for “Ketil’s settlement” and its existence recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Historically, Kettlestone was an agricultural community, and although it has modernised over time, remnants of its past can still be seen in its layout and older buildings. One of its most notable historic features is the All Saints’ Church, parts of which date back to the 13th century and include an unusual octagonal tower — a rarity among Norfolk’s predominantly square or round-towered churches. The community is close-knit, with a village hall and parish council supporting local activities and events. While Kettlestone itself is quiet and small, its charm lies in that very simplicity — broad fields, historic cottages and a peaceful rural way of life.

Rooms
GROUND FLOOR
A side door leads into a large entrance hall with utility area and cloakroom off, which could easily be re-configured into a ground floor shower room while the front door leads directly into what is currently the fitted kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a very spacious dual aspect living room with attractive fireplace and sliding double glazed doors to the rear leading directly in to the garden. Due to the proximity of the attached garage, it could be converted into additional accommodation with the minimum of cost or disruption, as demonstrated by the neighbouring property.
FIRST FLOOR
A large landing affords access to the bedrooms, the first with rear aspect and built-in double wardrobe, the second looking over the front of the property and again with double built-in wardrobe and the good sized third also with front aspect. The bathroom is of a generous size with shower over the bath.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, screened by mature Laurel hedging, is an extensive gravel covered parking area with space for a boat or caravan etc which also provides vehicular access to the attached garage. To the rear is an attractive rear garden, enclosed by a wall and fencing mainly laid to lawn with inset mature trees and a patio area.
