The Property
Positioned along a private road within the desirable village of High Kelling, Heatherwood is a fine and elegant Edwardian residence of exceptional charm and character, thoughtfully renovated by the present owners to create a home that perfectlybalances timeless period detail with modern comfort and style.
Set across three beautifully arranged floors, the property offers versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,677 sq. ft., ideally suited to both family life and relaxed coastal living. From the moment of arrival, Heatherwood immediately impresses with its handsome Edwardian façade, gravelled off-street parking and enchanting gardens that blend seamlessly into the lightly wooded surroundings beyond, creating a wonderful sense of peace and privacy.
Inside, the house is rich in original character, with elegant proportions, high ceilings, sash style windows, exposed timber flooring and period fireplaces sitting effortlessly alongside carefully considered contemporary finishes. The accommodation flows naturally, with each room enjoying its own individual charm and outlook over the surrounding gardens.
The welcoming reception hall leads to a beautifully presented sitting room, where warm timber floors and large windows create an inviting atmosphere. A separate snug or dining room provides a cosy and versatile second reception space, ideal for quieter evenings, reading or entertaining.
At the heart of the home lies the superb Shaker style kitchen and breakfast room, a beautifully designed space combining classic cabinetry with elegant work surfaces and integrated appliances. Filled with natural light and perfectly configured for modern living, the kitchen connects 4 5 wonderfully with the rest of the house.
Beyond, the delightful garden room enjoys glazed elevations overlooking the gardens, creating an idyllic setting for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons.
Supporting the kitchen is a practical utility and laundry room together with a ground floor cloakroom, ensuring the property functions as beautifully as it presents.
The upper floors continue to impress. The first floor offers two generous bedrooms, including a magnificent principal bedroom of superb proportions, filled with natural light and enjoying elevated garden views. A further room currently arranged as an office provides excellent flexibility and could equally serve as an occasional fourth bedroom, nursery or creative studio.
Occupying the second floor is a particularly atmospheric bedroom suite with sloping ceilings and a beautifully appointed shower room, creating a peaceful retreat beneath the eaves.
Externally
Outside, the gardens are a defining feature of the property. Carefully cultivated and thoughtfully landscaped, they wrap around the house to the front, side and rear, blending effortlessly into the wooded backdrop that gives the setting such a distinctive sense of tranquillity. Mature planting, productive vegetable areas, lawns and seating terraces combine to create a series of charming outdoor spaces that feel both private and deeply connected to nature.
High Kelling remains one of North Norfolk’s most desirable villages, prized for its woodland surroundings and proximity to the Georgian market town of Holt, renowned for its independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants. The property is also ideally positioned for Gresham’s School and the spectacular North Norfolk coastline, with sandy beaches, nature reserves and sailing harbours all within easy reach.
Heatherwood represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished Edwardian home of immense warmth and character, offering elegant living within one of North Norfolk’s finest settings.

Description
Local Information
Driving through the pine forest-lined road as you arrive at High Kelling on a sunny day, you instinctively know you are close to the coast and there’s a timelessness to this area that has been entertaining day-trippers and holidaymakers for decades. Less than two miles from Holt, the North Norfolk Railway steam train stops here and the 40s weekend sees the area come to life with visitors dressed in World War II outfits and vintage cars, as if the years have been rolled back.
The school has strong connections with Holt Rugby Club which sits on nine acres at High Kelling’s Bridge Road, and a young players programme has nurtured local talent, most notably Ben Youngs, England’s most-capped scrum-half of all time. Nearby, Voewood is an incredible Grade II listed, Arts and Crafts style house designed and built in the early 20th century in a unique ‘butterfly’ style with a central three-storey portion flanked by two, two-storey ‘wings’. Restored by rare books dealer Simon Finch in 1998, the country house hosts weddings and events in its 11 acres, along with providing a base for his arts business.
Discover more of the area’s history with a visit to nearby Felbrigg Hall, a Tudor estate and now a National Trust property, or further inland to Blickling Hall, a Jacobean estate which is believed to be the birthplace of Anne Boleyn. Past and present, High Kelling is a wonderful spot in this fascinating part of Norfolk.
