Property description & features

  • Short Distance from Mainline Rail Station

Having previously been the site of King's Lynn High School for girls from 1902 until 1979, original portions of the building have existed since the 17th Century and naturally its impressive elevations have an abundance of period charm that have made it a landmark of the historic King Street frontage.
The conversion from place of education to apartments took place between 1982 and 1986 and many people still have fond memories of its former life. With just 29 residences it's a lovely little community of its own.

It is understood that Number 22 was once the geography department, now a particularly generous apartment comprising two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and an impressive open plan living/dining room which is flooded with natural light from three windows – all of the aforementioned accommodation is brilliantly orientated, facing the communal lawned garden area with river views beyond.

A large bathroom with over bath shower serves both bedrooms and is accompanied by an unusually wide entrance hall with two very practical storage cupboards.

The kitchen receives the morning sun and has views of the colourful communal courtyard garden area with its multiple raised beds of flowers and shrubs.

Concluding the outside space is a communal summer house set right on the water front, providing an idyllic spot for an afternoon tea and a moments reflection.

The property also benefits from a designated parking space within a gated car park.

Whether it be a personal residence or an investment venture, this superb and rare opportunity has a lot to deliver a prospective buyer.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 24, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 24, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 6, 2012 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
