3 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Blakeney, Holt NR25

A rare opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom brick and flint house on a generous, surprisingly private plot in the heart of Blakeney. Built by the vendors’ family in 1984 and owned by them ever since, the property offers scope to update, extend or potentially redevelop (STPP).

The house is approached from the High Street via a private drive, with the accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, useful utility/boot room, sitting room, double bedroom and shower room. The sitting room is particularly pleasant, with large glazed doors opening onto the terrace and garden, whilst the ground floor bedroom overlooks the garden and provides useful flexibility.

On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also excellent eaves storage and an airing cupboard.

Outside, the property sits towards the front of a substantial plot, with a private gravelled drive leading through to parking and an established orchard at the far end. The main gardens are predominantly west and south facing, enclosed by mature hedging and well-established borders, shrubs and planting. Despite its High Street position, the garden is quiet and remarkably private.

The property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to create a home to suit individual requirements in one of North Norfolk’s most desirable coastal villages. There may also be scope for further development of the site, subject to planning, and consideration may be given to the sale of the property or part of the plot.

A property with considerable potential, offering a rare combination of generous gardens, privacy, parking and an excellent village location.

Blakeney
Blakeney is a historic coastal village on the North Norfolk Coast, located around 28 miles north-west of Norwich and just over 5 miles from the market town of Holt, offering a distinctive seaside lifestyle with a strong sense of community and year-round appeal.

At the heart of village life is the quay on the River Glaven, where sailing, kayaking, crab fishing and seal-spotting are everyday pastimes. From here, boat trips run to Blakeney Point, home to one of England’s largest colonies of grey seals and celebrated for birdwatching and wildlife experiences.

Blakeney’s High Street and lanes are lined with pretty flint cottages, independent boutiques, art galleries, gift shops and cafés, while essentials are served by a spar convenience store, post office and local surgery. The village also offers a selection of quality pubs and restaurants - among them the Kings Arms and White Horse - and seasonal outlets specialising in fresh seafood and treats from the estuary.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the North Norfolk Coast Path and marshland walks that radiate from the quay east toward Cley and west toward Stiffkey, as well as opportunities for sailing, paddleboarding and long beach walks at nearby Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham.

Blakeney combines rich maritime heritage, vibrant local retail and café culture, and outstanding natural landscapes, creating a lifestyle that celebrates coastal living, wildlife engagement and genuine village vitality with excellent connections to town and city amenities.
