House For Sale £725,000
Sitting in the heart of this bustling north Norfolk village, and only four miles from the golden sands of Brancaster beach and the Georgian village of Burnham Market, sits Fairway Cottage.
This deceptively spacious cottage has been lovingly cared for by our sellers and has been a fantastic family home, but would also make a great weekend retreat.
From the large sitting room to the formal dining room, a favourite of the family when enjoying special occasions, both with french doors leading out to the rear garden and patio area, there is plenty of space for hosting and entertaining.
The beautiful modern kitchen is a tranquil place to enjoy cooking or baking, whilst a breakfast bar provides space for casual socialising or a spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
The property benefits from having four double bedrooms, with an en-suite to the principal bedroom, and a separate family bathroom
The front of the property has been brick-weaved to offer a large parking area and ease of maintenance. There is also a garage to the side of the property.
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature plants, shrubs and trees. The attractive patio area is a favourite place for our sellers to relax and entertain with friends. There is also a summerhouse.
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.
