House For Sale £475,000
Over the past seven years, the current owners have breathed new life into Deanscroft House, transforming it into a beautiful home where countless happy memories have been made. Nestled in a charming village, this historic home, dating back to the early 1800s, offers stunning views overlooking the church.
The owners have cherished living in a home with so much history, and their love for it is evident in every corner. The original Georgian front door opens to a bright and airy reception hall, setting the tone for the spacious and welcoming atmosphere which permeates the property.
The front reception rooms are both inviting and spacious, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Large sash windows flood the rooms with light, while a log burner and open fireplace add a touch of cosiness and comfort.
At the rear of the property, the newly appointed kitchen is a highlight. With its shaker-style, solid oak worktop, and beautiful island, it seamlessly blends modern convenience with traditional charm. This space, with easy access to the rear garden, becomes the heart of the home, ideal for summer barbecues or winter culinary endeavours.
The upper floor, accessed via a beautiful staircase, features three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Originally four bedrooms, the owners restored it to its original footprint, enhancing the spacious feel. The front bedrooms are particularly bright and packed with original features, while the bathroom's makeover includes a luxurious roll-top bath, perfect for relaxation.
The outdoor space complements the minimalistic lifestyle this home offers. A gravelled area is perfect for al-fresco dining, while the patio and lawned area provide ideal entertaining spaces for all ages. There is also convenient off-road parking for several cars.
Deanscroft House is a harmonious blend of character and contemporary living in a superb village location, making it a truly special place to call home.
STOKE FERRY Nestled on the edge of the Fens, Stoke Ferry has a rich history, being well-established by the Norman Conquest, with its population, land ownership, and resources thoroughly recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Approximately seven miles southeast of Downham Market, the village is near the River Wissey, also known historically as the River Stoke.
The village centre, referred to as The Hill, features The Hall, a substantial three-story brick house built in 1792, now re-purposed as office space, located opposite the church.
In terms of amenities, the village includes a post office, fish and chip shop, and several traditional village shops, including a blacksmith's shop which has been in operation for over a century. There are also two public houses: The Millers Arms and The Blue Bell - the latter being a community pub since 2021, the result of much fund-raising and campaigning.
For major amenities, Downham Market is just a short distance away. This thriving market town boasts a range of shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The town also hosts a regular market, where locals can browse a variety of fresh produce, local crafts, and other goods.
The town also has a mainline train station. This station provides excellent transport links, connecting the area to major cities like Cambridge and London, or even to the Norfolk town of King's Lynn.
Commuters can enjoy a hassle-free journey, with regular train services offering quick and convenient access to these urban hubs. Whether it's for work, leisure, or exploring the cultural and educational opportunities available, having a reliable train service at your doorstep opens up a world of possibilities.
