Read the full agent description

Welcome to Fir Cottage, a three-bedroom link-detached cottage tucked away in the desirable North Norfolk village of Kettlestone, and an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a genuinely bespoke home.

The property sits behind a generous driveway with garage and ample off-road parking, and offers real scope to reimagine the space within.

The ground floor's flexible layout lends itself well to reconfiguration, with potential for a rear extension (subject to planning permission) to create the open-plan kitchen-diner or additional living space so many buyers are searching for.

To help bring this to life, we've included illustrative visuals in the photo gallery showing how the extension could look both inside and out, making it easy to picture the finished result rather than just imagine it.

Whether you're after a long-term family home or a second home with room to grow, Fir Cottage offers a rare chance to shape a property entirely around your own vision.

At the heart of the existing accommodation is a welcoming living room, complete with an open fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs you'll find two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a comfortable single bedroom, and a family bathroom. These rooms have been virtually staged to help you visualise the space and proportions on offer.

With its blend of character, flexibility, and a sought-after village setting, Fir Cottage represents a fantastic opportunity to create a home, or second home, tailored entirely to your needs.

Kettlestone & The Surrounding Area

Kettlestone is a small, attractive rural village in North Norfolk, known for its peaceful setting, open countryside, and traditional charm, offering a quiet lifestyle while remaining well-connected to nearby market towns and the coast.

The village is just a short drive from Fakenham (around 5 miles), which provides everyday amenities including supermarkets, schools, a weekly market, and leisure facilities, as well as the popular Fakenham Racecourse.

Around 10 miles to the north-east lies Holt, a highly regarded Georgian market town known for its boutique shops, independent cafes, art galleries, and strong sense of community — widely considered one of the most desirable spots in North Norfolk.

Kettlestone also offers easy access to the North Norfolk coast, with destinations including Wells-next-the-Sea, famous for its colourful beach huts and sandy beach, and Holkham, home to the expansive Holkham Beach and historic Holkham Hall, all within a 20–30 minute drive.

Surrounded by open farmland and scenic countryside, Kettlestone is ideal for those who enjoy walking, cycling, and a slower pace of life, while still being within easy reach of local amenities and some of Norfolk's most sought-after destinations.
