Charming Flint Cottage in Blakeney

Perfectly positioned on Blakeney’s historic High Street, The Old Bakery offers a rare opportunity to own a characterful village home just moments from Blakeney Quay and the vibrant coastal lifestyle that makes this North Norfolk village so desirable.

This attractive flint-fronted home provides 1,347 sq ft of accommodation over two floors, blending period charm with relaxed coastal living. With three double bedrooms, generous living spaces, a courtyard garden, garage and off-road parking, it offers an appealing balance of character and practicality. Inside, wooden floors, original features and cosy fireplaces create a warm and welcoming feel. The sitting room centres around a wood-burning stove set within a traditional fireplace, with natural light and a charming window seat enhancing the space. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and dining room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Classic cabinetry, solid wooden worktops and a farmhouse sink lend timeless style, while the adjoining dining area provides ample space for gatherings.

Three well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged across the two floors, offering flexible accommodation for family, guests or holiday use, supported by bathrooms serving both levels.

Outside, a private courtyard garden provides a sheltered space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A garage and shared off-road parking are valuable additions in such a central village location.

The Old Bakery has been a much-loved second home and also benefits from a strong holiday letting history, offering potential for both lifestyle and income. The property’s traditional Norfolk flint façade, sash-style windows and period detailing give it immediate charm and kerb appeal.

BLAKENEY
Blakeney is a historic coastal village on the North Norfolk Coast, located around 28 miles north-west of Norwich and just over 5 miles from the market town of Holt, offering a distinctive seaside lifestyle with a strong sense of community and year-round appeal.

At the heart of village life is the quay on the River Glaven, where sailing, kayaking, crab fishing and seal-spotting are everyday pastimes. From here, boat trips run to Blakeney Point, home to one of England’s largest colonies of grey seals and celebrated for birdwatching and wildlife experiences.

Blakeney’s High Street and lanes are lined with pretty flint cottages, independent boutiques, art galleries, gift shops and cafés, while essentials are served by a SPAR convenience store, post office and local surgery. The village also offers a selection of quality pubs and restaurants — among them the Kings Arms and White Horse — and seasonal outlets specialising in fresh seafood and treats from the estuary.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the North Norfolk Coast Path and marshland walks that radiate from the quay east toward Cley and west toward Stiffkey, as well as opportunities for sailing, paddleboarding and long beach walks at nearby Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham.

Blakeney combines rich maritime heritage, vibrant local retail and café culture, and outstanding natural landscapes, creating a lifestyle that celebrates coastal living, wildlife engagement and genuine village vitality with excellent connections to town and city amenities.
