Description
Tucked away in the heart of England’s most revered pilgrimage village, this period property on Walsingham’s High Street offers a rare blend of historic charm and lifestyle potential. Formerly part of an old stable, the residence is imbued with a quiet serenity that echoes through its aged stone walls and charming interior.
Dating back to the 17th century, with features suggesting even earlier origins, the property retains a wealth of original details, including an original part of the old stables, and a vintage multi fuel fireplace.
Beyond its spiritual connections, the home offers generous, characterful living spaces and flexible accommodation, ideal for those seeking a tranquil retreat, a home business (subject to permissions), or even a boutique pilgrimage guesthouse. Outside, a quaint courtyard provides a serene escape for contemplation, reading, or small gatherings.
Located just steps from the historic Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and the village’s charming tea rooms, galleries, and footpaths, this property offers a truly unique lifestyle - where heritage, faith, and rural English charm meet.
There is parking for two cars, which is an incredibly rare find in Walsingham.
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 Anglican Shrine and the Slipper Chapel at nearby Houghton St Giles.
Steeped in history, Walsingham was one of the most important pilgrimage sites in medieval Europe, often referred to as “England’s Nazareth”. The village retains much of its historic charm, with narrow streets, traditional flint cottages, and a tranquil atmosphere. The ruins of Walsingham Abbey and its beautiful grounds, home to a spectacular display of snowdrops in early spring, offer a peaceful place for reflection and walking.
Walsingham is also home to a number of independent shops, tea rooms, and galleries, adding to its appeal for visitors and residents alike. The Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage line, links the village with the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, providing a scenic and nostalgic journey through the countryside. Surrounded by open fields and just a short drive from the stunning North Norfolk coast, Walsingham combines cultural significance with natural beauty, making it a truly special place to live or visit.
