Description
Beck Cottage is a delightful modern home, stylishly upgraded by the current
owners to provide cosy and open plan living on a manageable scale. With the
emphasis on light and airy rooms, the cottage has been extended to help create
a fantastic focal point to the house, linking the kitchen, dining/living area
and sitting room.
An initial entrance hall leads to the kitchen area, with handmade bespoke
units, butlers sink and with a peninsular and breakfast bar. The kitchen is
part open plan to the substantial dining and sitting area, an amazing space of
vaulted ceiling with large velux windows and bi - fold doors running almost the
full 8m length of the room, embracing the gardens. This area is perfect for
family life and entertaining, with the seamless link out to the decked
terrace, looking out over the gardens. The double aspect sitting room, with
wood burner, provides a more cosy space yet is part open plan to the dining
area and is therefore a very adaptable room. The ground floor is complete with
a well - appointed shower room, a pantry and a functional utility room matching
the style of the kitchen.
The three bedrooms are all on the first floor, together with a family
bathroom. The dual aspect principal bedroom with built in cupboards, is a
light and airy room with views over the garden. The two further bedrooms are
well presented.
Outside
The gardens of Beck Cottage are charming, with different areas to enjoy that
accentuate the size of the plot as a result, and provide privacy within the
village setting.
An initial gravelled area, hidden from the road by pleached hornbeam and
willow weave fencing, provides off street parking together with wood storage
area and a garden shed. A pedestrian door, framed with further willow weave
fencing, leads from the parking area into a delightful courtyard garden in
front of the house. This area is incredibly calming and a complete sun trap,
with south facing aspect, sheltered by high fencing and pleached hornbeam,
with mellow paving, box topiary and a mature wisteria adorning the house. A
path leads from the front of the house to the main garden, which opens out to
an expanse of lawn sweeping away to the stream that runs along the west to
north boundary, providing a tranquil backdrop to life at the cottage. A major
feature of this part of the garden is the raised terrace adjoining the rear of
the house, another perfect area to enjoy outdoor living, dining and
entertaining, particularly given how the open plan area of the house
seamlessly links via the wide bi - folding doors – it almost becomes one room.
The terrace has a covered seating area, with raised beds around the edge of
the entire area.
Steps down to a gravelled path leading to a further dining/sitting area,
gravelled and with willow weave fencing to frame it, whilst open to the west
facing sun, the ‘sundowners’ spot. Elsewhere in the garden are herbaceous
beds, framed with willow weave fencing, a useful selection of outbuildings and
steps down to the stream, which idyllically meanders along the boundary.
Location
Beck Cottage is located towards the edge of the village of Corpusty, a well -
served village conveniently situated in the Holt, Aylsham, Norwich triangle.
The village has a shop, public house and primary school. The neighbouring
village of Heydon is completely charming and brilliantly preserved and the
epitome of an English rural village. With attractive green, overlooked by
architecturally distinguished houses, this is a destination village at the end
of a no - through road. At the heart of it all is the popular public house ‘The
Earle Arms’, a thriving bakery ‘Husk’, renowned tea room, the interiors shop
‘Moochi Modo’ and florist and artisan store ‘The Wallflower and Wallace’.
Further offerings within the village include a beauty and wellbeing barn,
Pewter gift shop and hairdressers. The estate owners allow access to the park
on a permissive basis, working in with the livestock and farming elements of
the estate. This allows for visitors and inhabitants to wander freely through
the historic park.
The Georgian town of Holt is about 7 miles and is famous as the home of
Gresham’s Public School as well as for its excellent independent shop,
Michelin star restaurant, bakeries and delicatessens, public houses, antique
shops and art galleries. The town of Aylsham is about 6 miles and also has a
lovely market square, with the national trust owned Blickling Estate to the
north - west of the town. There are also excellent shopping facilities.
The cathedral city and regional centre of Norwich is about 14 miles and the
North Norfolk Coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves and sailing
facilities is about 3 miles to the north of Holt.
