Blakeney

Tucked away in a quiet, desirable part of Blakeney, Rougham is a charming detached home that effortlessly blends character with potential. Built in the 1920s, this property is positioned in an enviable location, just a short stroll from the bustling High Street and historic Quay, offering the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility.

Set within a peaceful residential setting, the home boasts a traditional design, with its classic clay-tiled roof, brick chimneys, and pastel turquoise sash windows adding to its unique charm. While the property is filled with character, there is also great scope for enhancement, making it an exciting opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a home in a prime Blakeney location.

Inside, the house has a welcoming and spacious feel. The light-filled sitting room, with its dual aspect and open fireplace, offers a cosy space for relaxing. Adjacent to this is the versatile dining room, perfect for family meals or as an additional reception room. The kitchen diner, with its warm westerly aspect, is a fantastic space for entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and sun terrace, inviting outdoor living. The practical utility room and guest WC add further convenience.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, each with fitted furniture. The principal bedroom is particularly charming, with a sunny dual aspect and a decorative open fireplace. The first-floor shower room serves the bedrooms with ease.

Outside, the gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached timber-framed garage. The rear garden, with its central lawn and paved sun terrace, offers a peaceful retreat, surrounded by mature trees and hedging, and enjoys a favourable south-westerly aspect.

Rougham is a home of character, in a sought-after location, offering great potential for modernisation and further enhancement.

BLAKENEY
It would be hard to find a spot which reflects the beauty of the Norfolk coast better than Blakeney. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a picture perfect location.

When the tide reaches the shoreline, it’s the perfect opportunity to untie your laces and dip your toes in, take the plunge, or embark on a leisurely paddle along the coastal inlets on a paddleboard or boat, immersing yourself in nature’s finest backdrop. Forage some samphire for a taste of the coast, try your hand at catching a crab on the quay, or join the tourists and spot seals bobbing on the waters.

Despite its tranquil ambiance today, Blakeney was once a bustling medieval port. The village’s Guildhall and the Church of St Nicholas stand as testaments to its rich trading past, which thrived until the mid-19th century. As ships grew larger and the harbour silted up, trade declined, and today only small boats can navigate past Blakeney Point to the sea. Now, the nature reserve surrounding Blakeney Point is managed by the National Trust, offering a sanctuary for thousands of nesting and migratory birds—a paradise for birdwatchers where the only tweets are from the birds themselves.

Blakeney offers a range of welcoming spots to eat, drink, and stay. The Manor Coastal Hotel & Inn provides luxury accommodation with stunning estuary views, while the historic Kings Arms, a 250-year-old Georgian inn near the quay, is a favourite for its warm atmosphere, excellent food, and cosy lodgings. The Blakeney Hotel, an iconic waterfront retreat, offers elegant dining and beautiful views across the marshes. For artisanal baked goods and quality coffee, Two Magpies Bakery on the Quay is a must-visit, serving fresh pastries and Allpress Espresso with a scenic backdrop.
