Wiveton

Traditional brick and flint elevations and a modern, stylish interior come together to create a sublime residence, set in a prime coastal location in arguably the most admired and sought-after North Norfolk village.

Well Cottage is a handsome brick and flint detached residence set in established gardens and nestled discreetly in the centre of Wiveton.

Extensively and sympathetically enhanced by the present owners in recent years this fine home boasts stylish and refined interiors throughout. This well-balanced and highly versatile accommodation enables this home to be enjoyed as a main home in a favoured location or as a fantastic family holiday home with lucrative income potential.

A bright and spacious central hall immediately sets the tone for the house and leads through to a dual aspect, front sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Double doors off the sitting room open onto a wonderful open plan kitchen/dining room which spans the rear of the house and enjoys direct access on two sides to the gardens.

The kitchen is cool and contemporary with a highly sociable breakfast bar, stone worktops, glazed roof lantern and a full suite of appliances. The dining area flows seamlessly off the kitchen to provide a superb entertaining space that can easily accommodation 8-10 guests for dining. A wood-burning stove provides a cosy and intimate feel whilst double french doors open out onto a southwest facing sun terrace.

A well-appointed utility room supports the kitchen along with a shower room and guest WC. The ground floor is completed by two versatile rooms currently used as an occasional bedroom and a snug/tv room.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a fourth single bedroom/study. The principal bedroom suite features extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxuriously appointed en-suite shower room. A second bedroom also features an en-suite shower room whilst a family sized bathroom caters for bedrooms three and four.

Well Cottage is set in delightfully established gardens that create a peaceful and discreet environment for the house to enjoy. Double gates are set within shaped flint walls on the front boundary and open onto a private courtyard area with extensive parking options. This charming area features ornate flint walls dressed with colourful shrub and flowering borders.

The rear garden is a true delight and enjoys a high degree of privacy thanks to mature tree and shrub boundaries. A paved sun terrace set off the kitchen/diner enjoys a sunny south-westerly aspect and looks out over well-tended lawns. Shaped shrubs and flowering beds provide waves of colour and are set within ornate flint walls.

Located in arguably the most admired and coveted coastal village of Wiveton, Well Cottage enjoys the coast literally on its doorstep, yet is just far enough away to retreat to privacy when a more introverted environment is appealing.  

WIVETON Situated on the west bank of the River Glaven, Wiveton is just a couple of miles inland from the north Norfolk coast, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.Until the 17th century, the River Glaven was navigable and Wiveton was a port. The outline of the former harbour can still be seen in the fields between Wiveton and Cley. Today, the village's charming lanes are lined with quaint cottages and quintessential brick and flint homes, giving a distinctly Norfolk feel. The Wiveton Bell, incredibly popular with locals and visitors alike, serves tasty, locally sourced food. Wiveton Hall Fruit Farm Café - famed by owner Desmond MacCarthy's Normal for Norfolk BBC series - is a great summer destination.

Just two miles away, picture perfect Blakeney is made for Instagram-worthy shots of moored boats on mud flats, under big blue skies. And if you feel like exploring further afield, the whole stretch of coastline is easily accessible from here.

Heading inland, The Georgian market town of Holt is about a ten minute drive, and is filled with independent businesses, bound together by a strong sense of community. With a traditional butcher, fishmonger and greengrocer, the town even has its own department store and food hall, Bakers and Larners, a local landmark which has been run by the same family since 1770.

The town and its surrounding yards house a collection of chic boutiques and luxe lifestyle stores to explore and fill your home and wardrobe with beautiful things - linger and choose your favourite locally made fragrance at Norfolk Natural Living.

Life moves at a leisurely pace in Holt, and there are plenty of places to idle over a coffee or bite to eat.
