Larkfields:
Larkfields is a truly unique and outstanding coastal property, which was completed in 2022 and is finished to the highest of standards, with exceptional attention to detail. The design of Larkfields was inspired by houses in New England and specifically Cape Cod and the Hamptons often described as “villas by the sea”. Larkfields was specifically inspired by the renowned Cape Cod architectural company Polhemus Savery Da Silva and then SMG architects locally. The result is a beautiful house with the finest views of the North Norfolk Coast and specifically the salt marshes, Blakeney Point, the pit and the sea beyond. The interior of the house is typically in the New England style and extends to nearly 5,000 sqft, with significant flexibility in the accommodation. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, including the large and stunning principal bedroom which has French doors to the balcony and 2 dressing areas along with an en suite bathroom. The views from the bedroom and balcony are sublime, as they are from most of the rooms both upstairs and on the ground floor. The landing is generous and has an office/reading area and an intricately designed vaulted ceiling. All the bathrooms and sanitary ware are by Neptune and the well finished kitchen/dining room is by Bryan Turner. The house has been carefully thought through with sight lines making the most of the views and the natural light which is enhanced by the large hardwood double glazed windows which have thin glazing bars. The house has underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs, with underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and a secluded solar array located on the sedum roof of the garage, which help to power the house. There are open fireplaces in the beautiful drawing room and the fine kitchen, both of which face the coast, and have direct access to the colonnade with its distinctive stone columns which support the balcony. The flooring on the ground floor is primarily Ash, which is both light and hard wearing and adds to the coastal tone. There are a number of sets of French doors which help to connect the inside to the outside of Larkfields, which makes it such a special entertaining property.

Outside, there is a heated swimming pool with a safety cover, along with a high quality all weather tennis court. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a charming Summer house a short walk from the house, which could be used as a separate office. There is a raised garden area, which leads to a loggia/covered barbeque and dining area, which has a small kitchenette and a WC. This has potential to be turned into an annexe, subject to planning. The house is approached via a gravel drive which splits with one drive leading to a separate parking area and fields, and the other leading to a tree lined driveway which ends in the courtyard on the Southern side of the house and the garages. There are four garages and there is potential to convert some or all of this block to additional accommodation, if required. There are also some delightful seating areas around the house which make the most of the sun, whatever the time of day. The well stocked flower beds provide vibrant colours and the whole garden has an irrigation system that can be controlled from your phone. There is also a wildflower meadow which is on the coast side of the house, and two fields beyond which drop down to the coastal path, from which though the house can’t be seen. In a quiet channel about 200m from the property is a recently built pontoon, which is used for launching a tender/small boat.

Lark Cottage:
Lark Cottage is a charming coastal property, with sensational views in a private location at the western edge of Blakeney. The house is of brick and flint construction under a tiled roof over two storeys and extends to nearly 3200 sqft, with significant flexibility in the accommodation. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, including the large and stunning principal bedroom which has French doors to a balcony and an en suite bathroom by Neptune. The views from the bedroom and balcony are sublime as they are from bedroom 2. Downstairs the kitchen/dining room is of particular note, having a stone floor, granite work surfaces and bi-fold doors to the large terrace which leads to the swimming pool.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a charming Summer house/tennis pavilion a short walk from the house adjacent to the hard tennis court. The house is approached via a gravel drive which ends in a parking area to the South eastern side of the house and leads to the 4 bay garage/boat store. There is potential to convert some or all of this block to additional accommodation, if required. There is access to the coastal path via a footpath and in a quiet channel about 200m from the property is a recently built pontoon, which is used for launching a tender/small boat.
