House For Sale £425,000
The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer this spacious character property, prominently located in the heart of Snettisham; just a moment's walk from a range of shops and the village's two pubs. Originally the village post office, this house offers well-proportioned and characterful ground floor reception space, with four double bedrooms on the first-floor. At the rear of the property is a delightful west-facing garden which measures around 70ft in length and houses a versatile studio/games room, which could also serve as the perfect place to work from home.
ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the entrance hall, with exposed timber floorboards and the original staircase rising to the first-floor landing. The bay-fronted sitting room enjoys a pleasant view up Church Road, towards the village pub and church, and is filled with natural light by the morning sun. The sitting room displays an original fireplace, as does the adjoining living room, which enjoys a cosier atmosphere with an open fire. The kitchen/breakfast room is located at the rear of the ground floor and enjoys generous room proportions, offering a range of fitted white gloss-fronted storage units under oak work surfaces. From the kitchen a door leads into a useful lobby area, with plumbing/space for a washing machine and doors opening to the garden and ground floor shower room.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, all of which can accommodate a double bed, with the main bedroom enjoying the added luxury of a private dressing room with space beyond with potential for an en-suite. Three of the bedrooms display original fireplaces, with a further feature being the storage unit on the landing, which was originally housed in the post office. All four bedrooms are served by a neatly appointed bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The property is set slightly back from the road behind a row of wrought iron railings, with a gate leading to the front door. A service road at the side of the property provides pedestrian access to the rear garden, which measures approximately 70ft in length and includes a neatly maintained lawn, sandstone patio and a timber storage shed. The garden enjoys a sunny west-facing orientation, with an original Carr-stone wall defining the northern boundary. At the rear of the house is a useful studio building, of brick and Carr-stone construction, with windows to two sides and an electrical power supply. The studio is currently used for storage, but has previously served as a home office and games room.
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 a large 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.
