A unique end-of-terrace cottage in Little Walsingham, near Wells-next-the-Sea, is for sale at an asking price of £395,000.
Located in the centre of the village, at the junction of High Street and Friday Market, the brick and flint property is Grade II listed and believed to be up to 350 years old.
It was once two separate properties, with the listed part of the building serving as a shop.
Selling agent Fine & Country said the two-bedroom home offers “a wonderful combination of a period property with a modern and stylish interior, representing an ideal weekend retreat or opportunity for a holiday let”.

The cottage has been refurbished by the current owners – who purchased it as a second home in 2018 – and offers a range of character features including exposed ceiling beams.
“We have always been attracted to the quirky and we liked the unusual shape of the property and the challenge of a renovation,” the owners said.
They described the upstairs living room with “beautiful vaulted beamed ceiling” as one of the most distinctive features of the property.
One of the two bedrooms and a family bathroom are also found on the first floor, with a second en-suite bedroom on the ground floor, along with a kitchen and adjacent dining room.
There is a small, enclosed courtyard outside with bike storage.
Renovations to the property have been extensive and include a new heating and plumbing system, underfloor heating downstairs and the contemporary en suite added to the downstairs bedroom.
The kitchen has been redesigned and refitted with bespoke cabinets, a range cooker and water softener.

Upstairs, the owners have added a modern wood-burning stove to the living room, while the bathroom was created by knocking two small rooms together. It includes a free-standing bath, high-spec finishes and dry underfloor heating.
Outside, damaged exterior brickwork has been recently repaired by a local specialist, with the concrete plinth reinstated around the bottom of the property. Air bricks have also been installed in the external walls.
Little Walsingham is ideally located for the north Norfolk coast, with Wells-next-the-Sea just four miles away – and accessible via the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway.
The village has an impressive number of shops, including Walsingham Village Stores and an award-winning farm shop. There are also antique shops, several tea shops and pubs, plus a doctor’s surgery and community primary school.
