Walsingham

The Old Foundry can be found just a short distance from the historic village of Little Walsingham, where The Bolt House sits proudly in its detached plot within the yard.

This additional residence has provided the perfect getaway for three generations of our vendor's family and is much loved by all of them; the son has always referred to the house as "his happy place". Decompressing is made easy throughout the seasons, whether it be relaxing in the generous but manageable, part-walled garden after a day at the beach, or lighting the stove and chilling out on the sofas.

The reception hall separates the open plan living space, where the modernised kitchen provides a well equipped space and there is room to dine, whilst the beautifully curved double doors lead to the garden and the sitting area is well proportioned for families.

Upstairs there is a feeling of space with the vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom boasts an ensuite shower room and the family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms, comfortably sleeping six people.

The Bolt House provides great access to the outdoors, where the beaches along the North Norfolk coast can be explored. However, our vendors grandchildren have also enjoyed the nearby Ford, where fond memories have been created. The family feel lucky to have shared this idyllic 'Bolt Hole', but it is time now to write the next chapter in its story. 

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.
