Corner Cottage, Heath Road, Hempstead, Norfolk NR12

Corner Cottage is a beautifully updated and extended home, perfectly positioned within a peaceful and picturesque setting in the hamlet of Hempstead, nestled between the village of Lessingham and the stunning North Norfolk coastline, renowned for its sandy beaches and abundant wildlife.

Surrounded by rolling countryside and rich in heritage, the nearby area features historic landmarks such as St Andrew’s Church, alongside local amenities including a village hall and primary school. The property is also conveniently located just 0.8 miles from The Star Inn and approximately 1.8 miles from the award-winning The Ingham Swan.

Set back from the road, the home is approached via a shingle driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to two timber garages. The generous gardens, extending to over a third of an acre, wrap around the front, side, and rear of the property, bordered by mature hedging and trees that frame far-reaching countryside views and create a wonderfully private, rural setting.

Internally, Corner Cottage has been thoughtfully modernised and extended to offer versatile accommodation suited to both family living and a tranquil country retreat. An enclosed porch opens into a welcoming hallway leading to a comfortable sitting room, a contemporary kitchen with separate utility, a ground-floor bathroom, and a versatile bedroom. The extension introduces a light-filled family dining room with double doors opening onto the garden, along with an additional bedroom or study and a further shower room. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, one benefiting from an en-suite cloakroom.

The location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful countryside living with excellent connectivity. The nearby town of Stalham provides a wider range of amenities, while the historic city of Norwich lies around twenty miles to the south. The waterways of the Norfolk Broads are also within easy reach at Hickling, Barton Turf, Wroxham, and Hoveton, making Corner Cottage an ideal base for enjoying both coast and countryside.
