Charming 'Chocolate Box' Cottage in Stiffkey

Set within the heart of the highly favoured coastal village of Stiffkey, Fox Cottage is a truly exceptional Grade II listed home that perfectly captures the charm and romance of North Norfolk living. Constructed from traditional brick and flint, and on one end of a trio of cottages, this beautifully restored property has undergone a remarkable transformation, blending timeless character with stylish modern comforts to create an idyllic coastal retreat.

Beautifully positioned within easy walking distance of the marshes, beach, the Red Lion pub, and the ever-popular Stiffkey Stores, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting whilst remaining close to everything that makes this part of the coastline so special.

Inside, Fox Cottage is rich in character. The inviting sitting room is a particularly impressive space, featuring exposed oak beams overhead, traditional pantile flooring underfoot, and a wood-burning stove set in an inglenook fireplace that creates a warm and cosy focal point - the perfect setting for relaxing after long coastal walks.

The charming kitchen combines period character with tasteful contemporary touches, thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage’s heritage whilst offering all the practicality of modern living.

Upstairs, the superb double bedroom has been beautifully curated to create a luxurious boutique-style retreat, complete with a striking freestanding bath and a fully fitted, stylish en-suite. Every detail has been carefully considered, resulting in a space that feels both indulgent and effortlessly welcoming.

Outside, the cottage continues to impress with a lovely west facing front garden, rear patio area ideal for outdoor dining, and the rare advantage of off-street parking for two cars - a valuable feature within such a desirable coastal village.

Offered with no onward chain, Fox Cottage also presents an exciting lifestyle and investment opportunity, currently operating as a successful holiday let with proven appeal to visitors seeking an authentic North Norfolk escape.

Combining historic charm, modern luxury, and an enviable location close to the coast, Fox Cottage is a rare and beautifully finished home that perfectly embodies relaxed village living on the North Norfolk coastline.

STIFFKEY
Stiffkey, located between Wells and Blakeney, is one of the most picturesque villages on the north Norfolk coast. The river Stiffkey flowing west to east has carved a valley creating properties with stunning views and a short walk to the tidal marshes. The village is famous for its ‘Stewkey Blues’, a local blue cockle. It has a good pub, the Red Lion, with real ale and good food. There’s also a general store and newsagents. The village is very well placed for the North Norfolk Coast. There is excellent sailing nearby, and superb coastal walks.

Just 4 miles away is the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, which is set behind a small harbour on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast - its beach was voted The Best British Beach of the Year 2016 by The Times. The town has a maze of narrow streets, old alleys and yards, filled with shops, pubs and cafes and there are many listed and impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings. The town has a doctors’ surgery, library, community hall and primary and secondary schools, and, for those that enjoy the water a public house on a boat.

Wells-next-the-Sea is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the heart of the Heritage Coast between Hunstanton and Weybourne. The beautiful sandy beach, with its pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, can be reached by a pleasant walk, car or alternatively you could just enjoy the Quay with its active fishing fleet and sailing club. Both Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Woods are designated Nature Reserves, and walkers and birdwatchers enjoy the North Norfolk Coastal Path, creeks and marshes.
