As you enter via the shared driveway, you'll find Holly House nestled within an exclusive development of six houses.
Whilst the property would benefit from some modernisation, the accommodation is flexible with potential to create a more contemporary living space if required.
With its spacious kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, and three reception rooms, there is ample space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. For those who work remotely, one of these reception rooms could easily be transformed into a dedicated office/study space.
The four double bedrooms provide plenty of room for the family to all have their own space, two of which boasting en-suites. A particular favourite view is from one of the en-suite bedrooms, which looks out to the National Hunt Racecourse.
Our seller was never enamoured by ordered gardens "it didn't need to be manicured", the leafiness attracts a wealth of birdlife and the pathways still evoke pure joy, whether close to the house or through the pine trees.
Access to the outdoors is at a premium, not only just a short stroll into town and half a mile from the local High School, but also within close proximity to the popular north Norfolk coastal town of Wells-Next-The-Sea, a mere fifteen-minute drive away. You'll have easy access to the stunning coastline and can enjoy leisurely river walks along the Wensum, a local favourite.
Holly House has been a much-loved family home, particularly through the children's teenage years, providing a space for both them and their friends to enjoy. As the custodian, our seller is ready for the property to be taken into new ownership, to create more memories in a place the family have been so proud to have called their home.
"Holly House is a calm, tucked away home with a strong sense of place."
FAKENHAM Coast or country? If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the sea, Fakenham is top of the list. While sandy beaches are just ten miles away, the market town is perfectly positioned halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich with easy reach to Holt and Swaffham, making for an easy commute.
Out of working hours, there's plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor.
For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse. And Thursford is just four miles away with its magnificent collection of steam engines and organs – a visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money!
Make time to explore the Fakenham Lancaster Heritage Trail, a series of 32 plaques which bring the town's industrial past to life. Originally a vibrant agricultural centre, during the 19th century Fakenham rose to prominence as a major centre for printing – spot the printing blocks which have been set in the surface of the market place and date back to 1250. The stallholders still set out their wares every Thursday with a farmers' market on the last Saturday of the month.
From grand homes and character cottages to quality new-build houses, Fakenham has an excellent choice of property for all budgets, and on the outskirts of town there are plenty of period properties set on large plots for those looking for a little more space.
Foodies are spoilt for choice with locally farmed meat, produce and award winning Mrs Temple's cheese available to fill your pantry at nearby Walsingham Farm Shops. Save the washing up and dine out at The Ostrich Inn, which has been serving locals since 1841, or indulge at Sculthorpe Mill, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022, on the edge of town.
A brilliant location, exquisite properties waiting to be rediscovered and a growing band of entrepreneurial businesses, Fakenham is enjoying a renaissance and offers a superb place to call home.

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
