Bought from new, this house has become a home, and during almost six years of enjoyment the current owners have appreciated many a beautiful sunrise and sunset, whilst cherishing the peace and the quiet of rural living with sunny days spent in the garden or pottering around the house.

Thoughtful finishing touches have brilliantly accentuated the generous entertainment spaces for year-round enjoyment.

Set back in its plot there is substantial off-road parking for family and friends and the front elevations are stylishly concluded with traditional dormer windows and a practical storm porch to cover the entrance. These elements combine with the neatly landscaped frontage, finished with a five bar electric gate, to give a superb approach and great curb appeal.

From the entrance hall, the first of the reception rooms is a generous sitting room to which the vendors have added a bay window and contemporary log burner to maximise the outlook to the front and create a cosy retreat in which to sit, cocooned from the elements.
Stretching across the rear of the property is the open-plan kitchen/dining room that has also seen the addition of a contemporary log burner which, coupled with the bi-fold doors, makes for a wonderful area for use throughout the day, during all seasons.

Multiple integrated appliances include a dishwasher, induction hob, fridge/freezer, eye-level oven and separate grill, all supported by ample wall and base units and lots of work surface, making for a well-equipped and functional kitchen.

A separate utility room with side access is great for keeping the workings of the household hidden away and is ideal for de-kitting after a day out exploring the Norfolk countryside, or following a morning walk with the dog.

To the first floor are five double bedrooms, four of which can comfortably accommodate a double bed whilst the fifth makes for a generous single or, of course, that much desired home study. Three rooms enjoy built-in wardrobes and all have use of the family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

The principal bedroom sees the characterful dormer windows add charm and flood the room with natural light, and this elegant space is, of course, served by an en-suite shower room.

Heading outside, the large patio area spans the width of the plot and blends into the expansive garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn, with low maintenance borders. The south easterly orientation backs onto paddocks and the vendors spend many a happy hour watching the horses.

A well-rounded home that lends itself terrifically to indulging in all that is good about country life, with green areas to gather together at home, within the village and throughout the county. Easy access to both Wisbech and King's Lynn affords the benefits of town living within comfortable proximity. 

MARSHLAND ST JAMES Resting amidst a patchwork of rich agricultural fields and woven between the tapestry of former marshland dykes and tributaries, tracing their way back the Great River Ouse, is the picturesque fenland village of Marshland St James.

With both a Nursery School and a Primary School, as well as nearby secondary schooling and a very modern, engaging Community Hall beating at its heart, Marshland St James affords a modern solution to a rural family lifestyle on the fringe of the bustling historic port town 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.
