House For Sale £600,000
The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this attractive Victorian School House, occupying a private and mature plot with direct views across to the beautiful village church in the heart of Snettisham. The property offers an elegant interior, with a wealth of charm and character on display throughout; with exposed brickwork, stonework and original flooring, to name just a few of the variety of period details on show. The accommodation is well-proportioned, with high ceilings and points of interest in every room; whether it be a stunning view or a character feature, such the original fireplaces in the two main reception rooms. The house sits centrally within the plot, with beautifully maintained and established gardens to all four sides of the property.
In recent years the property has served as a popular destination with visiting guests for holidays and short breaks, given the convenient proximity to the coast and other local attractions, not to mention being within a few minutes' walk of the many amenities around the village. We would also like to make interested parties aware that the house is available with no onward chain.
ACCOMMODATION
Visitors are welcomed into the impressive reception hall at the side of the property, with the original staircase rising to the first floor landing and a door into the ground floor cloakroom. The dual aspect sitting room is full of natural light, with a sunny south-easterly orientation and an original open fireplace which serves as the main focal point. Across the hall, the formal dining room has a more cosy and intimate atmosphere, with fitted book cases built around the fireplace and exposed timber floorboards. To the side of the dining room, the breakfast room offers a versatile reception space and leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen has a traditional feel, with a collection of pine fronted storage units around a range cooker, with a pair gothic arched windows which overlook the garden. There is also a large pantry, which has been adapted to include plumbing/space for a washing machine.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms arranged around the landing. The master bedroom is a spacious double with dual aspect views, whilst bedroom 2 (which is also a a generous double room) unquestionably enjoys the best outlook in the house, with a direct view across to the stunning tower of St. Mary's Church. The third bedroom is a more compact double or comfortable single room. All three bedrooms are served by the recently refurbished shower room.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached over a private shingle driveway, with off-road parking for several vehicles in front of the house. The mature gardens extend to all four sides of the property, with colourfully planted borders and neatly maintained lawns interspersed with established trees and manicured hedges. Other features include a timber summer house, a garden shed and a brick-built storage shed which is connected to the back of the house.
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 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.
