Great Walsingham

Brimming with period features, this cottage offers the perfect blend of character and comfort, and has been lovingly renovated by the current owners to a tasteful standard.

Once inside, you are instantly greeted by a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The living room centres around an imposing inglenook fireplace, drawing warmth into this cosy room, contrasting with the high ceiling in the kitchen. Home to a traditional Rayburn, the kitchen offers a true country kitchen feel, with a door directly out into the beautiful cottage garden.

Furthermore, to the ground floor is the family bathroom, access to the cellar, and a study/office space.

The accommodation is spread over three floors. The first floor benefits from two bedrooms, one of which with an en-suite WC, and a further lounge area, ideal as a cinema room or perhaps a study. The second floor is a wonderful room with exposed and characterful beams, a lovely third bedroom.

To the rear, St Bernard’s Cottage benefits from a wonderful garden. The current owners had the opportunity to purchase a parcel of land which has more than doubled the original garden space. Epitomising a typical English countryside garden, there’s also space for a studio, or summer house.

Situated amongst an unspoilt conservation area, this cosy period property is for sale with no onward chain and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owners.

Great Walsingham

The parish of Walsingham is made up of two villages, Great Walsingham and Little Walsingham. Great Walsingham is a quaint, picturesque village with a lovely village green, a little bridge over a ford, and Great Walsingham Barns, where there’s an art gallery, cafe and other shops.

Little Walsingham has many fine period cottages, offers good local shopping including a vibrant farm shop, and has a popular restaurant, two pubs 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. The pretty villages also attract artists, birdwatchers and those seeking a slower pace of life.

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’s plenty to keep the locals happy, and the town provides a good range of amenities to the surrounding villages. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.

Just slightly further afield, the beautiful Georgian market town of Holt is about 10 miles away, and is wonderful to while away an afternoon exploring the many galleries, antique shops and boutiques, with plenty of lovely places to stop for refreshments.

Enjoying the best of coast and country, Walsingham is perfect as a base for some beautiful countryside walks, whilst being just 5 miles from the coast. Whether it’s walks along the coastal path, boat trips out to see the seals at Blakeney Point, visiting the stunning stretches of sand at Holkham or exploring the charming villages along the coast, there’s something for everyone in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
