The Property
Shingle Cottage is tucked away in the heart of Blakeney village, just a short walk from the quay and a few steps from the handy village shop, fishmonger and a great coffee shop. The cottage itself was originally a cow shed dating back to the 1800's, converted in the early 20th Century and recently updated by the current owners to provide a spacious two-bedroom cottage with lots of period features and a South facing, enclosed, courtyard garden.
From the entrance hall, with space for coats & boots, you access both the sitting room and kitchen / diner. The sitting room is a great sized room with a wood burning stove, exposed beams and window out to the courtyard garden beyond.
The kitchen / diner features a modern fitted kitchen with base and wall cupboards, an integrated oven and electric hob and sink with drainer. There is space for an undercounter fridge and exposed beams.
Up the stairs from the kitchen are both double bedrooms, family bathroom and a separate additional WC. All arranged off the upstairs hallway that benefits from natural light from windows out to the rear of the cottage.
The principal bedroom is a good sized double, with dual aspect windows to the end and front of the cottage. Currently arranged with a double bed, bedside table and chest of drawers. The second bedroom is again a good size, with two windows out to the front of the cottage and is currently arranged as a twin with a chest of drawers.
The modern family bathroom features a corner bath, separate shower cubicle with mains pressure shower, wash hand basin and WC. Next door to this is a handy separate loo, perfect for during the day and for guests.
Outside
Immediately to the front of Shingle Cottage is a pretty, South facing, walled courtyard garden. There is plenty of space for a table & chairs, BBQ and with a garden shed for storage and an enclosed side passage offering further storage options.
The cottage is approached from Westgate Street from a privately owned loke, over which Shingle Cottage has pedestrian right of way. It is fine to pull up to the front of the cottage to unpack the car but long term parking is not possible. There is ample free parking at the Village Hall car park, just a minute or so away at the top of the road.
It is worth noting that the loke is about to be resurfaced, levelled and shingled to make a smarter approach to the cottages.
The Location
Shingle Cottage is perfectly situated just off Westgate Street in the heart of Blakeney. Literally a few steps from the village shop, the fishmonger and a great coffee shop. The quay is just a minutes walk away passed the Kings Arms pub and the free parking at the Village Hall a minute or so in the other direction.
Blakeney is one of the prettiest and most sought after villages on the North Norfolk coast.
Blakeney, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is an ideal base to explore the north Norfolk Coast. At the heart is Blakeney National Nature Reserve with wide open spaces and uninterrupted views of the coastline, ideal for walking and spotting local wildlife including seals and migratory birds. The village has pretty flint cottages, once home to local fisherman, and there are plenty of places to eat and stay as well as pubs, gift shops and art galleries to visit.
