Located in Helhoughton, Norfolk, this charming vacation home offers a unique blend of historical character and modern comfort, accommodating up to four guests in its two well-appointed bedrooms. Originally a Victorian Station Master's house, the property has been transformed into a peaceful woodland retreat, showcasing an eclectic mix of decor that includes up-cycled lamps and retro finds. The semi-detached half-timbered house exudes a welcoming ambiance, making it an ideal getaway for small families, couples, or friends seeking a tranquil escape away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The interior of the house retains its period charm while incorporating quirky and colorful elements that enhance its character. On the first floor, guests will find a king-size master bedroom with a unique bath 'cupboard' feature, alongside a twin bedroom and two bathrooms—one of which boasts a stylish shower room. The ground floor is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a cozy sitting room complete with an open fire, and a spacious dining room perfect for gatherings. The layout encourages relaxation and socializing, with plenty of space to unwind both inside and outside.
Surrounding the property is a magical garden that wraps around three sides of the house, offering various 'rooms' to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the wooded farmland. This idyllic setting is frequently visited by local wildlife, including a family of muntjac deer, adding to the serene atmosphere. Helhoughton is a quaint village located just southwest of Fakenham, placing guests within easy reach of the stunning Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and various attractions, such as Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and The Thursford Collection.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling in the picturesque countryside, while local landmarks like Houghton Hall and The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham provide cultural experiences. The property is equipped with essential amenities, including WiFi (with variable speeds due to its rural location), and features like an iron and ironing board for added convenience. With its rich character, spacious layout, and proximity to both coastal and rural attractions, this vacation home is a perfect choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of North Norfolk.
