Description
Set in the heart of the historic and desirable village of Castle Acre, just moments from the imposing Norman ruins, 1 Moat View is a beautifully presented two-bedroom period cottage that offers charm, character, and an elevated position within one of Norfolk’s most picturesque settings.
This handsome terraced cottage - one of just three in the secluded enclave of Moat View - has been thoughtfully renovated and improved by the current owners over the past decade, blending heritage features with tasteful contemporary touches. From the moment you step inside, the home welcomes with warmth and grace, offering captivating accommodation across two light-filled floors.
The ground floor comprises a characterful sitting room with a delightful wood burning stove - perfect for cosy evenings - and a well-appointed kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, both designed to feel intimate yet practical. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a stylishly finished bathroom provide a comfortable and restful retreat.
To the rear, a private elevated garden offers a truly special outdoor experience. Accessed via a right of way through the neighbouring garden at the end of the terrace, a set of steps leads up to a beautifully tended space that feels worlds away. At its heart sits a charming timber summerhouse, ideally positioned to enjoy sweeping views across the castle’s ancient moat and toward the romantic ruins - an idyllic spot for relaxing, entertaining, or simply soaking in the beauty of this historic landscape.
CASTLE ACRE
Castle Acre, Norfolk is a beautifully preserved and characterful village located in the heart of the Nar Valley, just 15 miles from King’s Lynn. Best known for its remarkable Norman heritage, the village is home to two English Heritage sites - Castle Acre Castle and Castle Acre Priory - both offering an impressive glimpse into medieval England and set against a backdrop of open countryside and quiet lanes.
The village itself centres around a traditional green and offers a welcoming community alongside a range of local amenities. These include The Ostrich Inn - a highly regarded pub and restaurant - as well as a cafe, a village shop, post office, and the Grade I listed St James’s Church. The village also hosts regular events and heritage walks, contributing to its friendly, community-driven atmosphere.
For lovers of the outdoors, Castle Acre is particularly well placed. The Peddars Way and Nar Valley Way national walking trails pass directly through the village, offering miles of scenic walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting opportunities. A well-loved circular route takes in the priory and castle, passing through ford crossings, meadows, and wooded paths.
Despite its tranquil setting, Castle Acre is well connected. The nearby A1065 offers straightforward access by road, and regular bus services link the village with King’s Lynn, which offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and a mainline station with direct trains to Cambridge, Norwich and London King’s Cross.
Nearby attractions include West Acre Theatre, Oxburgh Hall, Gooderstone Water Gardens, and Castle Rising, all easily accessible for day trips. Castle Acre is a place where history, nature, and community come together - offering a truly special quality of life in rural Norfolk.
