The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer the opportunity to acquire a piece of living history in the heart of one of North-West Norfolk's most popular villages. Snettisham Water Mill was built across the River Ingol by the people of the village people in 1800 and for well over a century played a prominent role within village life.
After becoming disused and falling into a state of poor repair during the latter part of the twentieth century, the building has been extensively restored, with workings of the Mill now on full display and the sluice gate in full operation. The adjoining 3-bedroom cottage has been successfully used as holiday let in recent years, providing guests with a unique experience. The quaint setting is a wonderful feature, with the River Ingol flowing into the mill pond to the east, with the water rushing past the Mill into the stream which runs down to the RSPB nature reserve near Snettisham Beach. The property is next to a footpath which follows the track of the old railway line, which gives access to miles of countryside walks or cycle routes from the doorstep. We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain.
ACCOMMODATION
Visitors to the cottage are welcomed into the spacious reception hall, which continues throughout the ground floor with doors to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The comfortable master bedroom enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room. The living accommodation is located on the first floor, with a single open-plan space with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber work providing generous room for a dining table and living room furniture alongside a compact fitted kitchen. A west-facing Juliet balcony with double-doors is another delightful feature.
A separate door at the front of the building opens into the working part of the Mill, which has a safety rail and a ladder up to the first floor.
OUTSIDE
The Mill occupies a generous plot with an enclosed entrance area to the front and gated access to a private seating/barbecue area which overlooks the pond. A timber bridge leads over the river, where there is a wild flower meadow which also houses a timber storage shed. The views and atmosphere from all parts of the garden are a delight.
LOCATION
Snettisham is a popular village approximately 5 miles south of Hunstanton and 10 miles north of the historic market town of King's Lynn. The village is known for its sense of community, with various clubs, groups and an active programme of events around the churches and village hall. The types of property in the village comprise a broad mixture of period cottages, farmhouses and more modern properties, along with a wide range of amenities. Within a short stroll of this property there are a variety of shops (including a new Co-op, bistro, hairdresser's and pharmacy), the award-winning Rose and Crown public house, primary school, doctor's surgery, vet's practice and builder's merchants. The village church is a striking feature of the landscape, with a 175ft tower and spire, thought to be one of the tallest in Norfolk. Opposite the village hall there are playing fields and a cricket pitch, which also hosts regular car boot sales and a farmer's market. An annual Victorian Christmas Fayre is held in the village square. Other local attractions include the nearby Royal Sandringham Estate, Norfolk Lavender and farm shop at Heacham, several wildlife areas (including RSPB reserves at Snettisham beach and Titchwell), the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, various golf courses, walks and sailing.
