Period Cottage in Idyllic Helhoughton

Willow Cottage forms part of a pretty row of period terraced cottages, and benefits from a country style garden and parking.

Currently a successful holiday cottage and second home for the current owners, the property blends the charm afforded to a period home, with the comforts and practicalities of modern day living.

The cosy living room centres around a brick fireplace with woodburning stove. The kitchen and dining room offers a sociable space which leads straight out onto the patio, the ideal spot for entertaining or embracing an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

On the first floor, there are two very pretty and generously sized bedrooms, featuring exposed wooden floorboards, and original fireplaces. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite.

The garden makes for the perfect spot for hosting family and friends. Be it reading a book in the summer house, playing pool in the converted outbuilding, or hosting dinner on the patio, there's space for all.

Offered to market with no onward chain, Willow Cottage makes for the ideal opportunity to purchase a slice of Norfolk countryside in a delightful rural village.

HELHOUGHTON
Nestling in the heart of the north west Norfolk countryside, Helhoughton is a sought-after, small historic village, approximately four miles from Fakenham. Neighbouring West Raynham has a village hall.

Unsurprisingly you are made to feel at peace on your approach to the village through the parkland, which includes a stunning tree lined route, overlooking the historic Raynham Hall and church, which was first built in the 11th century and extended in the 14th century. It fell into ruin from the 1720s, but it has since been partially restored and is used occasionally. The parkland makes for excellent dog walking and exploring and not surprisingly there is a strong community spirit.

If you desire the gentle bustle of a market town, Fakenham is approximately five miles away. Out of working hours, there's plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals, 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 – if you need to perfect your swing, head to Fakenham Fairways Golf Driving Range which has a PGA professional on hand for some expert coaching. 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!
