Walsingham

Travelling through the North Norfolk countryside into the village of Great Walsingham, what was formerly 'The Foundry' is where Tudor Cottage can be found, a substantial, period brick and flint cottage, nestled into its generous plot.

There is much history attached to the location and the property has off-road parking to its rear aspect, via the shared drive entrance to The Foundry Yard.

The property has been in its current ownership for over twenty years. It was painstakingly renovated to include some beautiful features, recreating a Tudor theme, and the property has been cherished for family holidays. The walled garden is generous, with the sellers having bought extra land, and having created a beautiful, private space much loved by children and dogs, to run safely and freely, and by adults, who, while taking the time to sit and relax, might perhaps be acknowledged by some passing walkers, over the garden wall.

The kitchen, which has been delightfully modernised, provides sociable space around the refectory style table. The reception space is, likewise, sociably sized and you can imagine cosying up in the chillier climate.

The three bedrooms over two floors are complemented by high specification sanitaryware to both the family bathroom and en-suite to the principal bedroom. The third bedroom, to the second floor, is particularly pretty with its exposed timbered, vaulted ceiling.

Over the years our vendors have loved the access to the North Norfolk beaches and the proximity to the city of Norwich. As a family they are spending less time visiting, which means it's time for a new custodian to enjoy the delights of this refined, peaceful and quiet property and location. 

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, and has a popular restaurant, 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. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.
