The Property

Located in the rural village of Felbrigg, Molly's Cottage is a brick and flint four bedroom detached cottage with a wrap around garden and unspoilt countryside views with a view of the sea on the horizon. The cottage is currently a much loved second home and successful holiday let and has been beautifully renovated by the current owners to an extremely high standard with great attention to detail. Felbrigg village is well located for the coast and a five minute drive to Cromer with excellent amenities, a sandy beach and plenty of shops and places to eat.  Felbrigg Hall and Park is also on the doorstep, owned by the National Trust with a stunning walled garden, extensive parkland and woods to explore, as well as an excellent café and shop.  

The accommodation at Molly's Cottage briefly comprises an open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room, downstairs snug/single bedroom and shower room and upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The interior has a stylish modern feel with light streaming through the large windows facing out over the garden, making the most of the wonderful views.   

The front door leads into the main ground floor living space with smart wood effect Amtico flooring throughout.  The room is wonderfully bright with windows and doors on each side, with the kitchen to the right and the dining area and sitting room facing out towards the garden.   

The kitchen has newly fitted shaker style units top and bottom with granite worktops, a Stoves free-standing oven, a double butler sink and an integrated free-standing fridge freezer and dishwasher.  There is a beautiful double glass cabinet on the wall, providing useful storage for glassware and crockery. The dining space, in the centre and by the spiral staircase has a large wooden rectangular table, comfortably seating six guests with Lloyd Loom white chairs.  

The sitting room area beyond overlooks the garden and is surrounded by windows and French doors on three sides, a newly installed woodburning stove, two comfortable sofas and wooden coffee table with a glass overlay. 

Off the main living space is a snug/single bedroom to the left of the front door, currently housing a day bed.  Opposite the front door is the utility/shower room, with the washer dryer neatly stored in the cupboard, a hand wash basin, loo and walk in shower.  

A spiral staircase, off the main living space, leads upstairs to a landing with high vaulted ceilings, to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is glorious with floor to ceiling windows and doors opening out to a safety balcony, with ample room for a king size wooden sleigh bed, bedside tables and additional bedroom furniture.  The second bedroom is another good sized room, also with wonderful views of the countryside, with a king size wooden sleigh bed, bedside tables and a dressing table.  The third bedroom currently houses twin beds and a chest of drawers and faces the front of the cottage.  The family bathroom is newly fitted with a contemporary curved bath, shower over, hand wash basin and loo.  

Outside

The front of house has a gravel drive with plenty of space for parking cars and hedges each side. The private garden wraps around the property with access to the rear garden from both sides and is fully enclosed, laid with gravel and pebbles and surrounded by established trees and shrubs. The paved area outside the living room is perfect for al fresco dining in the warmer months. For keen walkers, The Weavers Way public footpath is just outside the gates of Molly's Cottage offering wonderful walks from the doorstep.

Places of interest

    Big Skies Estates is a different type of estate agency. The big idea behind Big Skies Estates was to recognise that many of the properties along the North Norfolk coast have the potential to be both wonderful residential dwellings, either full time or as second homes and also that they could have the potential to generate a second income for their owners as holiday cottages. So, in order to ensure that all the properties we market reach the widest audience, we will give an indication of the potential (or current) income generating potential of the house. Even if new purchasers do not wish to holiday let (and many don't), it can do no harm to know the potential of your new Norfolk purchase; and for some buyers, who would like to see more of a return on the their second home investment, an understanding of second income potential is an essential part of the buying process. We recognise that selling your main residence and your second home are two quite different processes, so we work differently with different types of owners. We are able to help with a strategy specific to you to ensure that your Norfolk home looks its very best for every viewing. It's the small things that make the difference!
