Tucked away in Harpley, this double-fronted period cottage offers classic Norfolk character with practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation. Two generous double bedrooms with exposed beams and a main bedroom fireplace give authentic charm, while a bright, double-height kitchen and cosy reception room provide comfortable daily living. The south-facing front garden and rear gravelled patio create pleasant outdoor spaces; private off-street parking is accessed from the rear.
The house is offered chain-free and presents strong holiday-let potential or a comfortable downsizer’s home. Thick solid walls make the reception room naturally cool in summer and snug in winter. The layout is straightforward with a ground-floor family bathroom and an en-suite WC off the principal bedroom, making single-floor living possible for many buyers.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, the property has an EPC rating of F, and the walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation. Broadband speeds in the village are reported slow. These factors may affect running costs and future improvement plans, but they also offer scope to add value through targeted works (insulation, heating upgrade, renewable options).
Set in a quiet village location between King’s Lynn and Fakenham, Harpley provides a peaceful rural lifestyle with basic amenities close by and easy access to the North Norfolk coast. For downsizers seeking character and walkable countryside, or investors targeting holiday-let income, this cottage combines immediate usability with sensible renovation potential.
