Chain Free in Snettisham

The Dust Hole is a charming DETACHED carrstone home, bearing the datestone of 1687 and brimming with period character. Once a former pub and one of the oldest properties in the area, this delightful detached cottage has been lovingly cared for and comes with no onward chain, making it equally appealing as a permanent home or weekend retreat.

Step inside and you are immediately greeted by the warmth of exposed beams, pine ledge and brace doors with traditional latches, and a welcoming sitting room centred around a wood-burning stove. A separate dining room and kitchen/breakfast room provide ample space for family life, while a utility, new shower room and a bright garden room complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a brand new family bathroom, with two additional rooms offering scope for storage or occasional use.

Outside, the enclosed courtyard-style garden provides a private spot to relax bursting with colourful flowers, while two gravelled parking spaces ensures convenience. With its rich history, cosy interiors and enviable setting close to shops, lovely walks and of course the beach, The Dust Hole offers a wonderful slice of North Norfolk life.

SNETTISHAM
For a small, coastal village, Snettisham has a big reputation, not least as a gourmand’s getaway. Add to this a wealth of pretty period properties and it’s not surprising that many come for a weekend only to seek a more permanent place to stay.

With a primary school, GP surgery and dental practice, plus a central chemist and supermarket, plus a handy local builder’s merchant for any renovations, the village is extremely well serviced. A small retail park, Poppyfields, and The Granary, which is a treasure trove of craft, antiques and collectibles, sit on the edge of the village and are fun to explore.

Resplendent St Mary’s Church which sits on a hill behind the village centre was built in the 14th century and has an 172ft spire that was once used as a landmark for ships on The Wash, and described by architectural historian Pevsner as, “perhaps the most exciting decorated church in Norfolk’.

Diners are spoiled for choice as Snettisham is also home to The Old Bank, which was named The Good Food Guide Best Local Restaurant in 2019 and is also listed in the Michelin Guide. For coffee, brunch or an evening of wine, nibbles and jazz, try the sister business next door, The Old Store.

Snettisham is home to a RSPB nature reserve and Wild Ken Hill, a rewilding site using regenerative farming to return the land to its natural stage. Or up the adrenaline level at Snettisham Beach Sailing Club which offers paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing and dinghy sailing, alongside a vibrant social events calendar.

Whatever pace you enjoy, there can be few places as appealing as Snettisham to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
