DESCRIPTION

Myrtle Cottage is a beautifully presented home, sympathetically renovated by the current owners over the past couple of years. The result is a wonderful blend of period character and contemporary living, with thoughtfully designed spaces that are both stylish and highly practical.
A striking green oak-framed extension, designed and built by Julius Barns, extends from the rear of the cottage. South-facing and filled with natural light, this impressive room features bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and a glazed roof lantern. Directly connected to the kitchen, it creates an exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. A Contura wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, while limestone flooring flows seamlessly through the extension and into the kitchen.
The kitchen, designed and hand built by Hinton Dear, is beautifully appointed with painted timber Shaker-style cabinetry, plate racks and Corian worktops. High-quality appliances include two Neff ovens, an induction hob with extractor, integrated dishwasher and boiling-water tap. The layout has been carefully considered to incorporate a generous central island, together with ample space for a dining table and comfortable seating area. Original panelling adds a lovely sense of heritage to the room.
Beyond the kitchen is a spacious walk-in pantry, providing excellent additional storage with room for a large fridge freezer and extensive shelving. A separate utility room offers further storage and laundry facilities, including space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as linen cupboards and additional under-counter cabinetry. The room also houses a plant cupboard with a new water softener and pressurised hot-water cylinder, together with an original Belfast sink.
A well-equipped boot room, with plentiful storage cupboards and an attractive pamment floor, provides a practical entrance to the rear of the house and garden.
The owners have also created a delightful, light-filled sunroom, finished with beautiful chalk travertine flooring. With a glazed roof, retained flint wall and doors opening directly onto the garden, this is a wonderfully peaceful space in which to relax, read or enjoy the surrounding gardens.
The original part of the cottage is believed to have once been a Georgian shop and retains much of its charm and character. A large window overlooks the front of the property, while this inviting reception room features a charming window seat and fireplace housing a Contura wood-burning stove.
A front hallway leads to a downstairs shower room, fitted with a WC, generous vanity unit and walk-in shower. Throughout the bathrooms, Lusso sanitaryware and illuminated mirrors provide a contemporary finish.
A newly fitted oak staircase leads to the first floor, where there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom occupies a particularly enviable position to the rear of the house, enjoying panoramic views across the surrounding fields. A dedicated dressing area leads through to a generous, newly fitted bathroom.
A further double bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and WC, while the remaining two double bedrooms are served by the downstairs shower room.
The separate annexe sits in the garden and has been thoughtfully designed in the style of an old signal box and provides exceptionally versatile additional accommodation. The ground floor comprises a kitchenette and living area, together with a double bedroom and adjoining shower room.
External stairs lead to a substantial first-floor room, offering a multitude of possibilities and currently suitable for use as a studio, home office, gym or creative space.

OUTSIDE

Set within 2 acres incorporating garden and field, a gravel drive leads round to the rear of the property. A cart shed with additional closed storage offers space to store bikes, boats and a car. A large field has the potential to be a wild flower meadow and a raised seating area offers far reaching views over 3 churches including Cley and Blakeney. The perfect spot to enjoy a big sky sunset.

The rear garden backs on to open farmland, and has established herbaceous borders and hedging. A wonderful addition is a large brick and flint open sided logia with brick fireplace. This is a fabulous place to entertain and could also house an outside kitchen. Closer to the house are vegetable beds, benefitting from south facing walls.

SITUATION

Wiveton is one of North Norfolk’s most idyllic villages, quietly set within the beautiful Glaven Valley and surrounded by some of the county’s most unspoilt countryside. With its picturesque village green, historic buildings and peaceful rural character, it is a place that perfectly captures the timeless appeal of this part of Norfolk. At its heart is The Wiveton Bell, a much-loved country pub.

The impressive Wiveton Hall, a handsome Jacobean manor house dating from the 17th century, sits nearby amid gardens, orchards and farmland, adding to the village’s distinctive sense of history and charm. The celebrated North Norfolk coast is within easy reach, with the atmospheric villages of Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea close by, offering salt marshes, coastal walks and wonderful opportunities to enjoy the changing landscape and abundant wildlife.

The Georgian market town of Holt is also readily accessible, providing an excellent selection of independent shops, galleries, cafés and restaurants. With its combination of rural tranquillity, historic character and proximity to the coast, Wiveton is a particularly special place to call home.
