House For Sale £415,000
Situated within easy walking distance of all the village amenities, this is a very well arranged cottage with the added benefits of a separate garage and off-street parking.
Set well back from the road, the cottage is approached via a pretty slate shingled front garden. On the ground floor there is a surprisingly large amount of living space with a generous sitting room to the front, a dining room adjacent to the kitchen and then a delightful wood framed conservatory at the rear with views down the garden.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms; two doubles and a large single, and they all share a family bathroom.
To the rear is an extremely pretty and fully enclosed garden, mostly laid to lawn. A paved patio area near the top has been positioned to enjoy maximum sunshine from both the south and the west, and makes the perfect spot for al fresco dining. Beyond this, a gate leads out to the off-street parking and the very useful garage.
Primrose Cottage has been lived in as a tenanted main home, and both the kitchen and bathrooms are recent additions. The property has also been redecorated so is presented in excellent condition throughout and, given its central village location, in what is an increasingly desirable north Norfolk destination, this would make a delightful home from home or holiday let.
DOCKING Docking is arguably one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea yet a comfortable breeze away from the coastal crowds in the heat of summer, and within a comfortable drive of the market towns of Fakenham and elegant Holt.
Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272ft and was once known as 'Dry Docking', because of its lack of drinking water. A well was sunk in the village in the 18th century and residents paid a farthing per bucket until a mains supply was installed in 1936. The small village played a key role in World War II when the RAF Docking airfield operated between 1940-1958, and nearby Docking Hall housed serving actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy and Warren Mitchell during this time.
Today, a strong village community exists and Docking has a thriving nursery and primary school, and the heart-warming sound of young children enjoying playtime often echoes in the surrounding streets, as it has for centuries. Well-serviced, Docking also has a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court and bowling green, along with a popular fish and chip shop and good local, The Railway Inn.
Buyers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of property including traditional, brick and flint and whitewashed cottages, classic Georgian houses and a growing range of quality new-build homes. One of the latest additions is Four Miles, so called for its short distance from the coastline at Thornham and Brancaster, which offers a range of quality cottages, barns and apartments on generous plots, sympathetically designed to fit in with their country location.
You may be inspired to try your hand at The Good Life and grow your own, but if you lack a green thumb try the weekly farmer's market at the village's Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with super-fresh produce from local smallholders and jars and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.
Offering the best of coast and country, it's easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
