About this property
Once a Victorian Station Master's house, now a fabulous woodland retreat, full of character and colour, with easy access to both coastal and rural North Norfolk.
The period feel of this property has not been lost, just enhanced by an eclectic, interesting and individual style, with up-cycled lamps, retro finds and colourful decor. This semi-detached half-timbered house feels welcoming and relaxing as soon as you walk through the door. If you are looking for space, privacy and somewhere 'off the beaten track' to chill out, this lovely property will appeal to you. Ideal for a small family, a couple or friends, there is lots of room to spread out, both inside and out.
There are two bedrooms on the first floor (king-size and twin) and two bathrooms. One is quite a surprise, unique and rather quirky - a bath 'cupboard' in the master bedroom - the other one is a very smart shower room. Downstairs is a well-equipped kitchen, a separate utility/cloakroom, a spacious dining room, and a really cosy, comfortable sitting room with an open fire and a table for a romantic dinner a deux. The garden runs to three sides of the house and is quite magical, with different 'rooms' to explore and enjoy. The whole property is surrounded by wooded farmland and is frequently visited by the local muntjac deer for breakfast.
Helhoughton is a small village surrounded by beautiful countryside, just south west of the market town of Fakenham, and about twenty minutes from the coastal resort of Wells-next-the-Sea. It is a great base for exploring this beautiful area of North Norfolk, perfect for walking and cycling, as well as visiting local attractions - Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, Sculthorpe Hawk and Owl Trust, The Thursford Collection and Christmas Spectacular - and enjoying a day at nearby Fakenham Races!

We had a wonderful four days at the Station House. Beautiful house and so tastefully decorated! We appreciated having everything a 7 year old enjoys as well - DVDs, bath toys, toys and toys! We will recommend you highly to our friends back in Oxford.

We had such a pleasurable time in the Station House. Our two year old child fell in love with the house and the toys - big thank you. And a bigger thank you for a very, very clean house. We simply loved staying here.

Perfect cottage for relaxing break, railway theme and interesting decor. Secluded and peaceful location, surrounded by woodland and enjoyed the garden and visiting wildlife. Very clean and well presented.
