The Street, Fakenham, NR21

Welcome to Fir Cottage, a three-bedroom link-detached cottage tucked away in the desirable North Norfolk village of Kettlestone, and an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a genuinely bespoke home. The property sits behind a generous driveway with garage and ample off-road parking, and offers real scope to reimagine the space within. The ground floor's flexible layout lends itself well to reconfiguration, with potential for a rear extension (subject to planning permission) to create the open-plan kitchen-diner or additional living space so many buyers are searching for. To help bring this to life, we've included illustrative visuals in the photo gallery showing how the extension could look both inside and out, making it easy to picture the finished result rather than just imagine it. Whether you're after a long-term family home or a second home with room to grow, Fir Cottage offers a rare chance to shape a property entirely around your own vision. At the heart of the existing accommodation is a welcoming living room, complete with an open fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs you'll find two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a comfortable single bedroom, and a family bathroom. These rooms have been virtually staged to help you visualise the space and proportions on offer. With its blend of character, flexibility, and a sought-after village setting, Fir Cottage represents a fantastic opportunity to create a home, or second home, tailored entirely to your needs.
