Description
Just as you enter the Village of Stibbard, Kings Cottage sits delightfully in its generous plot of 1.2 acres (STMS), behind a timber-gated drive.
Positioned on the Walsingham Way, part of the property dates back to 1603. When sheep were walked from the North Norfolk coast to the Norwich livestock market, this was one of the first inns that housed them during their journey. As a former pub, it had two names, 'Kings Head' and 'Horseshoe Arms'. It has also housed a dairy with stables in active use. In later years the holiday let 'Kings Barn' was established and the 'Witches Hat' as a touring caravan site previously listed with 'The Caravan Club of Great Britain'.
Since our vendors took ownership in July 2019, the whole of the property has been renovated, finding hidden treasures along the way and transforming the property into a blend of contemporary and period. The open-plan living area with its orangery and multiple sets of bi-fold doors provides favourite views of the garden - the perfect spot for watching the seasons change and a variety of visiting wildlife, including the chickens and ducks that have become part of the family, roaming freely. Living here has provided a true country life, with the current owners making apple juice and cider from their own fruit trees, surrounded by fields with amazing sunrises, sunsets and views of the stars in our big Norfolk skies.
There are two staircases, one compromising oak and glass with a full height void and the other leading to the principal bedroom, with its 'Narnia' like en-suite bathroom behind the mirror door.
The self-contained annexe is beautifully presented and the two-bedroom holiday let 'Kings Barn' is just stunning, with its own outside space. There is also planning permission to extend 'Kings Barn' via a beautiful atrium to provide further accommodation, a great opportunity for those looking for multi-generational living. There is also a substantial timber studio and an additional timber office/summerhouse in the grounds, as well as a three-stable block which should really be viewed to fully appreciate the flexibility available.
This charming, characterful and versatile property is looking for a new custodian to enjoy all the benefits provided, just a short distance from the Georgian market town of Holt and the ever popular North Norfolk coast.
