House For Sale £975,000
Westgate House is a Grade II Listed village house dating from the early 17th Century as mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner’s Buildings of England. The highly attractive elevations are of brick and flint, with some of the stonework taken from the Priory as also widely apparent elsewhere in the village. The property has black glazed pantiles to the front and clay pantiles to the rear of the house. The house faces South-West and despite its age is particularly light with comfortable and good sized family accommodation. In the sitting room there is a large original brick fireplace with a wood burning stove and stone hearth. There is also a fireplace in the kitchen/ breakfast room which has a number of storage cupboards and leads to the dining room or guest bedroom, with adjacent shower room and side entrance. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and one single, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a wide and delightful view of the surrounding countryside. From the master bedroom, stairs lead up to the second floor attic room which has potential for conversion to a bedroom or other uses, subject to the necessary consents.
The house is set back from the road and has pedestrian access through park railings via the stone path that bisects the front lawn. Much of the garden is bordered by historic brick and flint walling and to the rear and side of the house are further areas of lawn interspersed with some delightful shrub borders and flower beds along with some fine trees including walnut and fruit trees. Westgate House provides parking for 2 to 3 vehicles at the rear of the house which is accessed via a right of way over a gravel driveway. There is an outside dining space on a terrace with uninterrupted views over farmed countryside towards Stiffkey and the sea which is only two miles away.
Westgate House is situated in the delightful rural village of Binham in North Norfolk with fantastic views to the North and North-East. About 300 yards to the east of the house are the spectacular ruins of the 12th Century Binham Priory. Westgate (the oldest part of Binham) stands in rolling fields above the valley of the River Stiffkey, a few miles inland from the north Norfolk Coast which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Binham is well supplied with a popular local café and tea room called The Parlour, local grocery store and petrol station, and the Chequers Inn which is well regarded and Parish owned. The popular Georgian market town of Holt is 5 miles to the east and vast array of boutique shops and restaurants, there is private schooling at Gresham's School for boarding and day children of all ages. Burnham Market and Wells-Next-The-Sea to the west and Blakeney to the east provide between them a wide range of coastal amenities, restaurants, pubs, and shopping.
