Well Cottage, Walsingham Road, Fakenham, PE31 8HN

Situated in Burnham Thorpe, Admiral Lord Nelson’s village of birth, Well Cottage is a delightful end-of-terrace period cottage that has been beautifully refurbished by the current owners.

Arranged in a traditional fashion, the ground floor features a welcoming living and dining room to the front, with original Norfolk Pamment tiled floor, exposed beam over and a cosy log burner set within a traditional fireplace.

This room has plenty of space for both a seating area as well as a dining area.

Beyond this is a new galley-style kitchen with plenty of worktop space as well as a separate shower room that has also been recently refurbished.

Upstairs is a particularly generous double bedroom, complete with the original cast iron fireplace, adding a lovely period character to the room and this room also enjoys delightful views out over the water meadows to the south.

To the rear of the cottage is a delightful and surprisingly spacious garden, which gently rises away from the house.

At the top, the garden opens completely to the south and west, providing wonderful views back across the rooftops of the village and towards the meadows beyond.

There is also a wooden summer house and, more recently added, a charming brick and tiled workshop, which could readily be adapted to create a home office, studio or artist’s retreat.

The property is also excellently positioned to offer scope for extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, providing an exciting opportunity to further enhance and adapt the cottage.

Well Cottage has been much enjoyed as both a home from home and a successful holiday let and offers the flexibility to continue in either role.

With its appealing period character, surprisingly generous garden and far-reaching views, it is a wonderfully charming Norfolk cottage in a particularly special village setting.
