Spacious Cottage The present owners purchased the property in 1996. “Helhoughton was a very sought-after village back then and still is – it’s so close to the coast and very handy for the surrounding towns and also the city of Norwich.” The main entrance to this semi-detached period cottage is via the storm porch which leads into the entrance hall with a staircase to the first-floor landing. The living spaces downstairs comprise a reception room and a dining room beyond which the kitchen is located. All three rooms are generously proportioned with features including exposed wooden beams and a multi fuel stove in the sitting room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one of which overlooks the garden, and a family bathroom and a good- sized galleried landing. As the present owners remarked, “The main thing I love about our home is the size of every room, which is something you don’t normally find in a cottage.”

The owners set about renovating the cottage a few years ago, removing all the external render and having the exterior professionally repainted with a special breathable coating. They also installed a new kitchen and bathroom, and had new cottage doors, skirting board and architrave fitted. “It’s been so useful having the two big single garages that with the appropriate planning consent could be linked together to make a lovely annex to the cottage,” they said. Outside The property is set back from the road behind a shingled frontage enclosed by black metal railings with metal double gates which open onto a driveway which provides parking for several vehicles. Beyond the driveway are the two garages and access through to the rear garden which is fenced and walled to the boundaries. The garden is mainly laid to lawn around which are perimeter borders, and there is a concrete terraced area at the rear of the property.

Village Life The rural hamlet Helhoughton with its medieval church is approximately four miles south-west of the market town of Fakenham which offers a full range of facilities with a weekly market and auction on Thursdays. The village of East Rudham is also situated nearby which offers a good range of everyday shopping facilities including a butchers shop, general store/Post Office, a tea shop, a veterinary surgery, and a highly regarded public house called The Crown Inn. Surrounded by the wonderful North Norfolk countryside, Hellhoughton is also ideally located for the North Norfolk coast. Both Norwich and King’s Lynn are within easy motoring distance.
