It's not often you find a home that looks quintessentially English, The Old Rectory states this in abundance, with seven bedrooms, five receptions rooms and a generous plot with front and rear gardens it has charm and plenty of space for all the family!

The village of North Wootton is approximately four miles to the historic market town of Kings Lynn and within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast with it's miles of unspoilt beaches and beautiful rural countryside.
Local amenities include a mini supermarket, post office and two local pubs, there are also nursery and primary schools in the village and a veterinary surgery. Local markets are held at the village hall, there is a real community feel to the village and the eighteen hole Kings Lynn golf club is just on your doorstep here.

The town of Kings Lynn is rich in maritime history, once a thriving port it brought trade and wealth to the area through the Hanseatic league and much of the old towns history can be seen by the quay and within its still fine merchant houses. Captain Vancouver leader of expeditions to North America and Canada was a local boy and born within the town, his statue can be seen by the custom house overlooking the River Great Ouse.
The town also has its modern side, high street shopping, local pubs and restaurants, recreational facilities and good links to Cambridge and London with the railway line from Kings Lynn running hourly with London to Kings Cross approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes distant.

The Old Rectory dates from the mid 1700's and started life as a farmhouse which included livestock being kept in the building, georgian aspects of the house are still very evident while during the Elizabethan period and the 19th century the house was further extended to provide a spacious and adaptable home.
The driveway edged with mature oak trees sweeps round to the front of the house where parking for multiple vehicles can be found in front of the double garage, the front lawn is well maintained with mature flower borders and trees and is not overlooked.
The entrance porch leads into the hallway, the original flagstone flooring is a real reminder of the period, a real sense of space that sets the tone throughout the house.
The Library is fitted out with bookshelves and features a lovely fireplace and surround with a log burning stove, a very versatile bright and airy room. The dining room also features a fireplace and a log burning stove, its size could accommodate a large table and chairs, ideal for all those family get togethers!
The sitting room is a generous size and overlooks the front garden with its bay window, with doors leading out into the garden, once more a fireplace adorns this room along with fine cornice work and Georgian architrave. The family room views out into the rear garden again this room has many usages, perhaps a music or play room?
The Kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with storage cupboards and has the luxury of a splendid electric Aga that provides an ideal cooking platform, a walk in pantry gives further storage, off the kitchen is a door to the integral garage and the old coal room, now serving as the boiler room with a further door out into rear garden and patio area.
The inner hallway features a beautiful sweeping georgian staircase with dark oak handrail, which climbs elegantly to the first floor and the six double bedrooms, two bathrooms and the laundry room, the tiled cloakroom with WC and a boot room that leads to the rear garden also runs off the hallway.
The master bedroom has views to the front garden, it features fitted wardrobes and the luxury of a large en-suite, the roll top single standing bath is a real wow factor here, a beautiful indulgent feature, light oak flooring and a quadrant shower also add further appeal!
The bathrooms on this floor have modern bath and shower facilities and more than adequately cover for the bedrooms here, the laundry room houses all the washing appliances and conveniently keeps it all within one room. The bedrooms mostly feature original fireplaces and some with additional storage and wardrobe space.

Outside to the side of the house is a small garden that leads to the gate to the rear of the house and the garden, the rear entry to the annex can be found here.
The annex was designed and built by the current owners and won awards for its practicability and efficient construction, completely self contained it offers open plan style accommodation with a modern and contemporary feel.
This would be ideal for an elderly relative who requires independence or possibly used as guest accommodation or home gymnasium, with working from home it could also feature as the office space away from the house.
The rear private garden features a beautiful Japanese pond planted with lilies and boardwalk a peaceful place to sit and reflect while listening to the stream..or perhaps the patio area? a summer soiree and a Pimm's on the lawn is possibly more your thing?
The double garage has plenty of room for two cars and all the outdoor equipment including workshop space if one should require it.
