Necton

Hidden away down a tranquil country lane, this delightful property combines historic character with contemporary flair. Originally two workers' cottages, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a spacious home that seamlessly blends its traditional features with modern living. The current owners have recently completed a full refurbishment, including a sleek, contemporary kitchen that opens onto the garden through large glass doors, offering a captivating view of the church behind.

The ground floor is designed for modern living, with underfloor heating throughout and a reconfigured staircase that allows the open-plan kitchen/diner to flow effortlessly into the cosy sitting room. A standout feature is the impressive brick-built inglenook fireplace, the perfect centerpiece for the living space.

Upstairs, the original floorboards have been lovingly restored, adding warmth and character. Three double bedrooms have all been fully refurbished, providing comfort and style.

Outside, the property boasts a charming mature garden with a variety of trees, colorful plants, and a mix of hedging and fencing that offer privacy. Beyond the hedges, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the rolling countryside. The front of the property provides ample parking for several cars along with a single garage.
 

NECTON Sat between Swaffham and Dereham, just off the A47 main route between King's Lynn and Norwich, Necton offers the best of both traditional, rural living in the heart of the Brecklands along with easy access to every point of the county compass. A commuter's idyllic hideaway definitely, but with Thetford Forest just 30 minutes away, there's plenty of adventuring to be had for those who love to explore the great outdoors - load up the bikes to enjoy the cool of the forest trails on a hot summer's day, challenge yourselves on the high wires at Go Ape, or simply unpack a picnic under the towering trees and reconnect with nature.

Historically, Necton appears in the Domesday Book as Nechetuna, meaning 'town or settlement by a neck of land' as it sits at the foot of a ridge, and Grade I listed All Saints' church has a vast hammer beam and arch braced roof with carved angels which is a fabulous place to sit and contemplate - the Countess of Warwick is said to be buried in the churchyard.

Follow Tuns Road a little further and turn into Mill Street which once was a centre of industry when a five-storey windmill ground flour from crops grown in surrounding farmland. By 1970, the once towering building had been converted into a single-storey residence with a flat roof and this has been a shop through the decades. Enjoy a glass and a home cooked meal at the local pub, the appropriately named The Windmill Inn. Just over 4 miles away, you'll find a Waitrose supermarket, a convenient and sought-after amenity. Looking to the future, just outside Necton, a new sub-station will harness energy from off-shore wind farms on the east coast, once again putting this thriving village community on the map.
