Clarence House is a handsome detached Edwardian house situated in an elevated position overlooking countryside on the edge of the popular rural village of Hempton, conveniently located on the outskirts of the north Norfolk market town of Fakenham. The property retains many fine period features including majority sash windows, tiled floors and exposed floorboards, picture rails, original fireplaces and painted internal doors.
The property has spacious family sized ground floor accommodation accessed via an impressive entrance hall with a geometric tiled floor and doors to the sitting room, dining room, garden room and a snug/study. A more recent extension to the side of the property provides a kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility room and cloakroom and a good sized en suite principal bedroom with its own access door from the front of the property. Upstairs, the spacious double aspect galleried landing leads to 3 further bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom with a roll top bath. The rooms to the front of the house have fine far reaching views over countryside to the north.
Outside, Clarence House has driveway parking to the front and an attached garage with a good sized south facing private garden to the rear with separate vehicular access for a caravan or boat etc.
Hempton is on the edge of north Norfolk's largest town, Fakenham - a bustling and lively community ideally located for access to the coast and also for Norwich and King's Lynn. A weekly market transforms the town, bringing in visitors across the region to enjoy a huge array of food, plants, clothing and local produce stalls set around the central market place.
Fakenham offers a diverse range of amenities including bars, restaurants, coffee shops, cinema, bowling alley, supermarkets, furniture and DIY stores plus clothing retailers and a garden centre. There are infant, junior and secondary schools (including 6th form) as well as banks and a large medical centre. Situated on the River Wensum, a wide choice of picturesque walks are available with access to the National Cycle Network. Sports facilities include a fitness centre, golf, squash, tennis, indoor bowls and, not forgetting, Fakenham Racecourse.
