Key information
Property description & features
- No Onward Chain
- Off-Road Parking
- Characterful Period Charm
- Central Village Location
- One/Two Double Bedrooms
- Picturesque Surroundings
- Low Maintenance External Space
Perched just next door to the popular Castle Rising Tea Rooms, there are views towards the impressive Saxon church. The property is predominantly a carrstone and brick construction and this sees it blend gently and sympathetically into its surroundings - among other characterful period homes.
Venturing inside the snug/dining room, a bay window neatly frames the views of the aforementioned church and offers an abundance of natural light which, accompanied by a feature fireplace, makes this a wonderful space come rain or shine, to gather for meals and entertainment throughout the day.
The kitchen is well-appointed and makes clever use of its space, with a rustic cottage charm.
A generous principal bedroom benefits from substantial built-in wardrobes and comfortably accommodates a large double bed, with room for additional furnishings.
The sitting room/bedroom two is a superbly proportioned room providing flexible usage, as indicated, along with also enjoying a feature fireplace.
All rooms are served by a large shower room with low maintenance wet room flooring and shower panels.
Outside there is a patio area to one side which lends itself perfectly to watching the world go by with a cup of tea - sat on a bench or perhaps a little bistro set with some cakes and nibbles. The remaining areas are set to low maintenance with gravel and a hard standing car port.
Overall the property could benefit from updating throughout and although the present owners have enjoyed many a happy memory within its walls, they look forward to seeing it receive a new lease of life to be enjoyed on into the future.
CASTLE RISING Within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a wealth of history including one of the most famous 12th century castles in England with the keep being amongst the finest surviving examples in the country. The historic village of Castle Rising also offers a tea room, dentist, dress shop and a pub, whilst being conveniently located just on the outskirts of King's Lynn.
Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.
King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.
With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.
A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listed, 17-hectare park where elegant folk once promenaded. Families still enjoy weekend walk or a Sunday concert in the park and don't miss The Red Mount, once a wayside stop for pilgrims headed to the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, to take in the incredible, elevated views.
SERVICES CONNECTED Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage. Gas central heating.
