House For Sale £400,000
HISTORIC KING'S LYNN - Prominent Grade II* Listed Building

Location & Description Being offered to the market for the first time in nearly a century, the Greenland Fishery is truly unique and provides a rare opportunity to acquire one of King's Lynn's oldest surviving properties. The origins date back to the 1600's where it was originally built as a wealthy merchant's residence with offices. The building has had various uses over the years including a public house, museum and private residence and was then restored and extended by the King's Lynn Preservation Trust in the late 1990's. The property features a wealth of original features with the most significant being the Jacobean wall paintings which can be found in the first floor bedroom of the house.
The property is currently configured as 2 self-contained units – a large 2 bedroom residence, circa 1050sqft GIA (29 Bridge Street) and commercial office premises approx. 2050 sqft GIA (28 Bridge Street), both set over three floors. There are also cellars under most of the property.
There is a central ground floor passage leading front to rear and both units have doors off this as well their own front and back doors. The whole property offers various permutations (subject to any statutory permissions).
Of particular value in the town centre is the generous sized fully walled car park with spaces for approx. 7 vehicles accessed via double gates.
The historic south quay is only a few minutes' walk and the rear of the property benefits from the West facing sunsets across the River.
King's Lynn is a historic market town situated in West Norfolk which serves a wide area covering North & West Norfolk, Northern Cambridgeshire and Southern Lincolnshire. The town is well connected with mainline railway to London Kings Cross via Ely & Cambridge and the A47 trunk road which provides easy access to Norwich & Peterborough (both around 1 hour).
