DESCRIPTION

Swallow Cottage is a rare find - a very spacious, detached property occupying a prime position at the end of a quiet no-through road, ’Little Lane’ in the heart of Blakeney. Enjoying far-reaching views across The Pastures to the harbour beyond, the house sits in a very private location; however, it is just a short walk from Blakeney Quay and all local amenities.

Having been in the same family for over 50 years, the property offers generous accommodation with excellent potential. Requiring some modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a superb family home or multi-generational living space in one of North Norfolk’s most desirable coastal villages.

Built in traditional brick and flint with a tiled roof, this is a substantial property which has been extended over the years and now offers flexible accommodation across two floors. While some modernisation would be beneficial, the layout and scale provide an excellent foundation for a bespoke coastal home.

The ground floor features a range of generously proportioned, light-filled rooms, many enjoying a westerly aspect. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged with separate access via two staircases — each leading to a pair of spacious double bedrooms and bathrooms. The elevated position affords exceptional views across the surrounding landscape, towards Blakeney Point and along the coast to East Hills at Wells-next-the-Sea.

Offering scope for a large family home, multigenerational living or guest accommodation with income potential, this is a rare opportunity in a highly sought-after coastal setting.

__________

OUTSIDE

The property is ideally situated with vehicular access from New Road and pedestrian access via Little Lane to the High Street, offering both convenience and privacy. It benefits from a large single garage, as well as a timber carport/boat store, and ample off-road parking.

Positioned centrally within its plot, the house is surrounded by a fully enclosed garden, well-stocked with mature trees and planting. A paved pathway to the west leads to the main garden, which is laid to lawn and features a terraced seating area, pergola, and a selection of potting sheds and a summer house.

SITUATION

Located on the unspoilt North Norfolk coast, Blakeney is a highly desirable village renowned for its charm, heritage, and outstanding natural surroundings. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village offers a unique blend of coastal tranquillity, rich wildlife, and a vibrant yet peaceful community.

The village is particularly well known for its exceptional walking opportunities along the North Norfolk Coastal path. At the heart of this landscape is Blakeney Point, a dramatic stretch of coastline managed by the National Trust, known for its expansive dunes, wide skies, and as home to one of the UK’s largest grey seal colonies. The area is also a haven for birdwatchers and the surrounding marshes attract a remarkable variety of birdlife throughout the year, including migrating waders, terns, avocets, and rare species, making it one of the country’s most rewarding destinations for wildlife enthusiasts.

The village boasts a selection of independent galleries showcasing local art and craftsmanship, contributing to the village’s creative and cultural charm. A variety of traditional pubs, cosy cafés, and acclaimed restaurants provide an excellent choice of dining experience, from relaxed lunches to fine evening meals, often featuring locally sourced seafood and produce.
With its combination of natural splendour, outdoor pursuits, and traditional Norfolk character, Blakeney presents an enviable lifestyle in one of the region’s most sought-after coastal settings.

The picturesque market town of Holt is a short drive away and is renowned for its attractive street frontages, Greshams Schools and a wide range of independent shops.
