New Road, Blakeney, Holt, Norfolk, NR25

An exceptional new coastal home, built to exacting standards, with open plan living, coastal view and plenty of parking.

Description

High Vault is amongst the finest new builds of Blakeney. What sets this house apart from its contemporaries is the exacting standards of finish, and the extent to which the current owner has gone to build a home that will stand the test of time. This is immediately apparent from the impressive wall enclosing the garden and providing privacy, and then strikingly with the English bond brickwork and plenty of flint, it is entirely at home in the landscape. When combined with the convenience of the location, where the quay, pubs, delicatessens, galleries and restaurants are all within a comfortable walk, it is a wonderful lifestyle opportunity.

The clever design of the internal layout, over about 2500 sq ft, makes for spacious, light and airy living. The tone is set by the outstanding open plan living, dining and kitchen area with the bespoke staircase at the centre of it. The bespoke kitchen, with Neff appliances, Qooker tap, pantry cupboard, breakfast bar and integral curved seating covered with Harris Tweed, is both stylish and functional and a great backdrop to the room. The remaining space can be dressed to personal preference, with plenty of adaptability. The room is complete with a Dik Guerts double sided woodburner, the other side enjoyed by the sitting room, a relaxing room away from the open plan hub. With triple aspect floor to ceiling glazing, a mix of glazed doors, sliding doors and fixed windows allowing in east, south and west light and a view of the coastline, it is a key element of what makes the house so usable. A formal entrance, WC, utility, and rear entrance with cabinetry, complete the ground floor.

The impressive staircase, with glass balustrades, leads up to a central landing linking all the first floor rooms. The highlight is the principal bedroom, triple aspect with balcony, a charming view out to the coastline, an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. Three further double bedrooms are all en suite, with a further room perfect for a study or smaller fifth bedroom. All the bathrooms are fitted to a high quality.

Further features, all adding to the living experience of High Vault, include integrated ceiling speakers, under floor heating, Egyptian limestone flooring, data cabling for connectivity and heat recovery systems.

Outside
High Vault has a great presence, given the elevated position from the road, and set behind the high brick wall that’s a defining feature of the property. Electric wooden panelled gates, slide across to reveal a shingled parking and turning area for a number of cars, and indeed boats. This leads up to the car port, with EV charger, with the shingle continuing round to the rear of the house with further space for boats, kayaks or other coastal kit.

The gardens, with a south to south west orientation, are private and enclosed to create a relaxing area away from the buzz of the thriving village. There are two defined paved terraces, with access from the kitchen area and the sitting room, both ideal for outside dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to an expanse of lawn, with a steel edged shingle path leading to a pedestrian door, with a herbaceous flower bed providing seasonal colour. On the outside of the wall a beech hedge has been planted, together with young trees.
