Fully Restored Grade II Listed Home in Kettlestone

Combining period charm with contemporary living, this exceptional property has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners to create a warm, stylish and versatile family home.

Beyond its traditional red brick and flint elevations lies a welcoming interior filled with character, including exposed beams, oak flooring and two impressive inglenook fireplaces. The heart of the house is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, designed for modern living with bespoke cabinetry, generous entertaining areas and a seamless connection to the south-facing gardens. A separate reception room, conservatory, utility area and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the property offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a spacious principal suite with en-suite shower room and a luxurious top-floor guest bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a stylish en-suite bathroom. The galleried landing provides an attractive additional space, ideal for reading, working or relaxing.

A significant feature of the property is the adjoining character barn, offering enormous flexibility as a studio, workshop, entertaining space or potential additional accommodation. Full planning permission is in place to link the barn with the main house, creating the opportunity for a substantial home of over 4,900 sq ft (STMS). Alongside this is a separate one-bedroom guest annexe, finished to a high standard with contemporary bathroom facilities and underfloor heating, providing ideal accommodation for visitors, family or home working.

KETTLESTONE

A small village with a church and vibrant village life - and hall too - Kettlestone is within easy reach of the market town of Fakenham with its shops, banks, cinema and weekly market.

Seven miles to the east is the lovely Georgian market town of Holt with a wider range of shops, pubs and restaurants, and Gresham’s School. The north Norfolk coast is within easy driving distance with its miles of sandy beaches, marshes, golf courses and sailing clubs. King’s Lynn and Norwich are both within reasonable driving distance and have direct main line rail links to London.

Fakenham offers plenty to keep you entertained - including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor.

For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse. And Thursford is just four miles away with its magnificent collection of steam engines and organs – a visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money.

Make time to explore the Fakenham Lancaster Heritage Trail, a series of 32 plaques which bring the town’s industrial past to life. Originally a spirited agricultural centre, during the 19th century Fakenham rose to prominence as a major centre for printing – spot the printing blocks which have been set in the surface of the market place and date back to 1250.
