Secluded High Kelling Home within 0.24-Acre Private Grounds, NR25 6QF

Set discreetly within a mature plot of approximately 0.24 acres (STS), Milkwood is an exceptional contemporary home extending to around 3,500 sq ft.

Thoughtfully designed and finished to a high specification throughout, it offers a rare balance of architectural sophistication and effortless countryside living.

With direct gated access to the enchanting 100 Acre Wood and far-reaching views across open farmland to the east, the setting is as compelling as the home itself.

Approached via electric gates and a gravel driveway framed by established planting, the house immediately conveys a sense of calm and privacy.

Its striking combination of timber, glass and clean architectural lines hints at the quality and attention to detail that continues within.

Stepping inside, a bright and welcoming entrance hall unfolds beneath a double-height ceiling, where natural light pours in and the craftsmanship of the interior becomes immediately apparent.

The ground floor has been carefully arranged to provide both open-plan flow and defined, intimate spaces.

At its heart lies a beautifully bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, designed not only for cooking but for gathering, entertaining and everyday living.

A central island anchors the space, while views out to the gardens create a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Adjoining this is a more relaxed seating area, allowing the kitchen to function as a true social hub of the home.

Beyond, the house opens into a remarkable double-height vaulted Garden Room, where full-height glazing frames uninterrupted views of the surrounding greenery.

This is a space that changes character throughout the day, filled with light and offering a constant visual connection to the landscape.

A separate snug provides a quieter retreat for evenings, while a well-proportioned study offers an ideal environment for home working. Upstairs, the sense of light and space continues.

A first floor sitting room, complete with a balcony, enjoys elevated views across the fields beyond, creating a peaceful vantage point that feels both private and expansive.

The principal bedroom suite has been designed as a calm and considered retreat, featuring its own en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.

From here, as with much of the house, there is a strong connection to the surrounding gardens.

Three further bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each offering generous proportions and flexibility.

One particularly substantial room, measuring approximately 25’7 by 20’9, lends itself to a variety of uses, whether as a guest suite, studio, or additional living space.

A further en-suite and a well-appointed family bathroom complete the accommodation. Outside, the gardens are both beautifully established and thoughtfully arranged.

A tranquil courtyard garden, complete with a water feature, provides a sheltered and intimate setting, while a separate kitchen garden with raised beds offers the opportunity for homegrown produce.

The wider grounds are laid predominantly to lawn and bordered by mature trees and planting, creating a sense of seclusion while still allowing long views across the neighbouring farmland.

A gate at the edge of the garden leads directly into the 100 Acre Wood, offering immediate access to nature and an ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons.

Practical elements have been carefully integrated into the overall design.

A double car port provides covered parking alongside useful storage, while modern systems including CCTV and integrated audio have been seamlessly incorporated.

The overall finish of the property reflects a commitment to quality, with a clear emphasis on longevity, comfort and understated luxury. Its setting in High Kelling further enhances its appeal.

This well-regarded village sits just moments from the Georgian market town of Holt, renowned for its independent shops, galleries and excellent dining.

The area is also home to the highly regarded Gresham’s School, making it particularly attractive for families, while the wider North Norfolk coast lies within easy reach, offering some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.

HIGH KELLING Driving through the pine forest-lined road as you arrive at High Kelling on a sunny day, you instinctively know you are close to the coast and there’s a timelessness to this area that has been entertaining day-trippers and holidaymakers for decades.

Less than two miles from Holt, the North Norfolk Railway steam train stops here and the 40s weekend sees the area come to life with visitors dressed in World War II outfits and vintage cars, as if the years have been rolled back.

Gresham’s school has strong connections with Holt Rugby Club which sits on nine acres at High Kelling’s Bridge Road, and a young players programme has nurtured local talent, most notably Ben Youngs, England’s most-capped scrum-half of all time.

Nearby, Voewood is an incredible Grade II listed, Arts and Crafts style house designed and built in the early 20th century in a unique ‘butterfly’ style with a central three-storey portion flanked by two, two-storey ‘wings’.

Restored by rare books dealer Simon Finch in 1998, the country house hosts weddings and events in its 11 acres, along with providing a base for his arts business.
