Blakeney Grade II listed cottage on Wiveton Road which dates back to 17th century on the market for £1.75 million

Woodpecker Cottage is Grade II listed, recently restored, set in nearly half an acre and – the big selling point – the location is beautiful Blakeney.

It could be a dream home for someone, although they will need to find £1.75m to buy it.

The brick and flint cottage, which dates back to the 17th century, is detached and stands in Wiveton Road.

It has recently been restored and extended creating a stunning family home ideal for a modern lifestyle but still oozing charm and character and retaining original features.

Moving from the spacious entrance hall there is a large triple aspect beamed sitting room with a woodburner and a double aspect snug/dining room which also has a woodburner for cosy winter evenings.

There is a study and a vaulted kitchen/breakfast room which is very much the hub of the house. It features a large central island, double butler sink, range cooker and large areas of glass to let in natural light.

Ground floor space also includes a boot room, WC and two ground floor bedrooms which share a shower room.

The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and there are two more bedrooms, separated by a stud partition, which share a shower room.

The accommodation is in immaculate condition and decorated in light neutral shades.

Outside there is a garage, two cart-shed style carports, a gardener’s WC and plenty of outside parking space.

The mature, attractive gardens are mainly lawned and bordered in part by some old flint walls.

There is a decked area partially covered by a loggia which is a perfect space for barbecues and entertaining family and friends.

Another special feature is the separate south-facing orangery.

The location of this property is equally special. Blakeney is one of the most sought-after coastal villages in North Norfolk in an area which is largely owned by the National Trust and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its quayside and salt marshes.

It has become a haven for ornithologists and sailing enthusiasts.
