Whissonsett is a pretty, rural mid-Norfolk village surrounded by farmland and orchards with a parish church, village hall and playing field. Whissonsett or Witcingkeseta, as it was known in the Domesday Book, means either the settlement of the Witcing tribe or a place of watery meadows and, as the village is in a valley on a tributary of the River Wensum with many wells and springs, this description is very apt.
The village is well placed for easy access to the market towns of Fakenham and Dereham with nearby schools in Brisley, Colkirk, Litcham and Fakenham. The north Norfolk coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves and sailing, is only 16 miles to the north.
Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Oil-fired central heating to radiators. EPC Rating Band D.
