Beguiling interiors, immaculate presentation and glorious, gated formal grounds all set on a private road in arguably the most sought-after corner of High Kelling.
Renwood is more than just an exquisite property, it is a home to fall in love with and delivers a wonderful lifestyle set in a truly magical environment.
Extensively remodelled, extended and renovated by the present owners over a period of around 12 years this wonderful home exudes elegance and style throughout with refined interiors, sumptuous accommodation, and enchanting gardens. Key features include a wide array of bespoke built cabinetry throughout the property, newly fitted aluminium doors to the ground floor, gas central heating - via a newly installed Viesmann boiler, and luxurious bathrooms and kitchen.
A gated frontage of more than 100 feet immediately sets the tone for this special home. Classic 'New England Style' architecture and elevations stand proud against the colourful front gardens to create a pretty and captivating arrival.
A sheltered, front veranda invites you into the property and connects with a sumptuous, formal sitting room. This spacious reception enjoys a dual-aspect onto the gardens via bi-fold doors to the front and double french doors to one side. An elegant fireplace, with wood burning stove, creates an attractive focal point whilst a staircase rises gracefully to the first floor. Bespoke cabinetry is fitted along one wall and provides, not only practical space, but an aesthetically pleasing feature.
A dual-aspect, formal dining room showcases further 'floor-to-ceiling' cabinetry and shelving to two walls and bi-fold doors onto a rear terrace and garden.
A spectacular kitchen/breakfast room exudes style and elegance thanks to handmade, in-frame cabinets capped in solid oak worktops. The kitchen features a centre island, double butler-style sink and french doors out onto the rear garden area.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility and boot room. This area subtly links the ground floor of the main residence to the annexe accommodation.
The annexe accommodation has been cleverly designed to further enhance the living space of the main residence but also provide an independent area, as and when required. Presented and dressed to the same exacting standard throughout, this delightful space incorporates a spacious kitchen/dining area, ground floor wet room and WC, a charming sitting room - with a vaulted and beamed ceiling, a garden room and ground floor bedroom.
To the first floor of the annexe is a sumptuous bedroom with fitted, eaves wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
Moving onto the first floor of the main residence you will find a magnificent principal bedroom suite which incorporates a beautifully fitted dressing room and a decadent en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower.
An impressive second bedroom suite includes a versatile dressing room and independent access to a bathroom. A third double bedroom, currently used as a hobby room, is served by the adjacent bathroom.
A detached, double garage, with attached cart shed, provides flexible parking and storage space and is set away from the sweeping front courtyard area.
Set behind private gates, the frontage provides extensive off-road parking options and features further lawns and terracing. An attractive, retaining-brick wall encloses this delightful outside space and is flanked by substantial shrub borders.
Renwood is discreetly nestled towards the end of a private no-through road and enjoys a highly peaceful and tranquil environment. This very special location is perfectly placed to make the most of the north Norfolk coastline, the abundance of woodland and countryside walks on the doorstep and the amenities and facilities of the Georgian market town of Holt.
HIGH KELLING 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.
Many follow the Holt Road to Cromer and its famous pier, or pare off to Sheringham to enjoy a walk on the cliffs, but there's plenty to enjoy about High Kelling for those who chose to make it home. Gorgeous, spacious period homes, many from the 20s and 30s - perhaps why this spot feels so unspoilt - are nestled among the lofty pines, and with independent Gresham's school just minutes away there are many families who came for a break and found a fabulous place to live.
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.
