Sophisticated Simplicity in a Secret Corner of Holt

Tucked away on a quiet lane just moments from the vibrant heart of Holt, 55 New Street enjoys the best of both worlds, peace and privacy within easy reach of the town’s independent shops, delis, galleries and charming Georgian architecture. Holt is a place where life moves gently, yet everything you need is close at hand, from countryside walks and coastal drives to fine dining and good coffee. This is North Norfolk at its most timeless, and New Street sits at its centre like a well-kept secret.

Step inside, and the house opens into a beautifully extended kitchen and dining space, light-filled, thoughtfully designed, and perfect for gathering with family or friends. There’s a calm elegance to the muted tones and quality finishes, while limestone flooring and shaker cabinetry nod to the home’s character. Beyond, a cosy sitting room offers a quiet place to unwind, and the layout is effortlessly practical too, with a utility room, cloakroom, and useful built-in storage all cleverly tucked away.

Outside, French doors open onto a private gravelled courtyard, just enough space for al fresco suppers, morning coffee, or pots of lavender and rosemary. Beyond the courtyard, off-street parking adds a rare layer of convenience. With its flint and brick façade, sage-green joinery, and cottage charm, the exterior is as welcoming as the inside. 55 New Street is a home that feels quietly special, considered, comfortable, and full of heart.
