SITUATION

Choosley House sits on a quite single-track country road between Stiffkey and Warham. The village of Stiffkey is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with direct access to the saltmarshes and winding creaks running out to miles of sand at low tide. This is an important conservation area for breeding birds and the Norfolk Coastal Path leads to Blakeney to the east or Wells-next-the-Sea to the west.

Whether it is taking a trip to see the seals at Blakeney Point, birdwatching at NWT Cley Marshes, walking the Norfolk Coastal Path, or simply messing about in boats, there is year-round activity along the Heritage coastline.

Stiffkey is also famous for its ‘Stewkey Blues’ cockles, which are given their blue hue by the mud they live in. You will also find samphire growing here which is a local delicacy.

The village benefits from the popular Stiffkey Red Lion pub/hotel which specialises in local produce and fine ales and Stiffkey Stores and Post office where you can buy gifts, essentials, locally made sourdough bread or enjoy their delicious coffee and cakes.

Just four miles along the coast you will find award-winning beaches at Holkham and Wells and the nearby Georgian market town of Holt offers a variety of independent food stores, boutiques, and pubs/restaurants alongside the long-established Gresham's School, founded in 1555.

DESCRIPTION

The part glazed front door leads into a small reception hall and through to the stunning and very spacious sitting/dining room. This is a very impressive room that was added to the original house some 15 years ago by the present owners. A contemporary wood burning stove provides a focus and oak floorboards run throughout the room with underfloor heating. On the west side it benefits from floor to ceiling windows and doors that take full advantage of the surrounding countryside views.

To the south of the room further doors and windows open to a covered veranda constructed of Oak and Baleu hardwood with sedum roof. This veranda runs the entire length of the room, allowing seamless inside outside living on a nice day it is really well protected from the sun on hot days but cleverly positioned to allow the winter sunshine into the house.

The kitchen/breakfast room leads off the sitting room and is in the original older part of the property. Fitted with a range of hand painted wooden cabinets under wooden worktops and display shelving. Integrated appliances include an electric range cooker, Siemens dishwasher and Belfast sink. There is a lovely old Victorian caste iron fireplace, pamment flooring and plenty of space for a good-sized table and chairs. This is a light room with good ceiling hights, benefiting from north and south aspect.

A further cosy family room leads off an inner hallway and has south aspect and a wood burning stove. There is a picture above the wood burning stove that cleverly hides the television.

The property benefits from a back-door entrance into the boot/boiler room and then an inner hall/utility room with an impressive, oversized butlers sink, storage cupboards, worktop and space and plumbing for washing machine. There is a separate cloakroom/WC.

The stairs lead up from the sitting room to a good-sized landing with large storage cupboard and south aspect. The main bedroom is very spacious with a high ceiling and floor to ceiling glazing on the west side and windows to the south too, this really is a very special room that takes full advantage of the views. An adjoining en suite bathroom has white sanitary wear with bath, separate shower, and heated towel rail.

Also, on this level in the original part of the house, there are three further double bedrooms, two with south aspect and one on the north side of the property. A family bathroom has a bath with shower over, white sanitary wear and heated towel rail, this room houses the airing cupboard.

Further stairs lead to the 2nd floor straight into a room that would work well as a dressing room or study. The guest bedroom leads off this room, from here to the north and east views include Blakeney Point and the coast. This bedroom has an old washstand style basin and there is a separate shower room.
__________

OUTSIDE

The property is of brick and flint construction with the newer extension clad with hardwood. A gravelled driveway provides parking for several cars. To the south and west of the house the garden is fully enclosed by hedging with a separate enclosed area making an ideal spot for a kitchen garden if required, currently the vendor keeps an old shepherd’s hut here which will not be staying with the property.

There is an area of garden laid to lawn with two very sheltered sections that are divided by yew hedging, one in front of the veranda has a gravelled terrace and formal herbaceous borders and beyond this there is an enclosed herb garden with box hedging and a wonderful array of herbs. The main feature of this part of the garden is the oak framed pergola which is covered in roses and honeysuckle and makes the perfect shaded place for outside entertaining.

There is potentially space beside the house to build garaging subject to necessary planning permission.
