Detached Bungalow with 1.25 Acres in the Peaceful Village of High Kelling

Guide Price £650,000 - £700,00.

Set amongst mature gardens, woodland and an abundance of nature, this spacious three-bedroom bungalow offers generous accommodation together with an unusually large and private plot.

The accommodation comprises three good-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, a large dual-aspect sitting room with French doors opening onto the garden, and a kitchen/breakfast room. The property also benefits from an integral garage.

The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property’s standout features, extending to approximately 1.25 acres. Formal gardens surround the bungalow before giving way to areas of mature planting and woodland, creating a wonderfully private and tranquil environment. There has previously been exploration into the potential for additional dwellings within the grounds, subject to planning permission.

Having been in the same ownership for almost 50 years, the bungalow was originally built by the current owners with their later years in mind. The peace and quiet, together with the surrounding wildlife and countryside, have been a much-loved feature of living here.

The property also enjoys excellent access to the surrounding countryside, with a footpath from the rear leading across the fields and into Bodham Woods, whilst a further route from the road leads towards Selbrigg Pond.

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.

The 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.

Discover more of the area’s history with a visit to nearby Felbrigg Hall, a Tudor estate and now a National Trust property, or further inland to Blickling Hall, a Jacobean estate which is believed to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn. Past and present, High Kelling is a wonderful spot in this fascinating part of Norfolk.
