Weasenham

It is perhaps no surprise this house has been home to a single family for more than 60 years.

The White House started life as a pub - so if only walls had ears there would surely be plenty of tales to tell... This is a pretty property and much of its character is still present, with the picture rails and fireplaces. Today, however, this much-loved home would benefit from some modernisation.

The multiple reception rooms provide a myriad of uses. The dining room, in the single storey extension to the rear, has its french style doors which can open up to the garden and the sitting room, with its dual aspect windows, overlooks the village green.

The kitchen and the adjacent breakfast room could become one bigger, creating open plan space which is so often the requirement of today's buyers. There is much more potential for the whole of the property, subject to all necessary consents, enabling a new custodian to write the next chapter in this home's history.

The outside space is pretty and the front boundary is delineated by its painted railings and the winding path to the front door.

Beyond the house is its brick and flint walled garden, a sanctuary for the green fingered. The beds and borders are well-stocked and there are a range of outbuildings.

Located close to the market towns of Fakenham and Swaffham, there is also the added attraction of the North Norfolk coast, just twenty five minutes away.

From its beginnings as a pub, to a family home for so many years, The White House is now seeking a new owner to call it home and create their very own special memories. 

WEASENHAM If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the coast and the countryside, Weasenham could be top of your list.

Being only seven miles from Fakenham, and little over 10 to Wells-next-the-Sea - this countryside spot could be your best of both worlds.

Split into two, Weasenham has an All Saints and a St Peters - with both areas named after their churches. The village offers glorious countryside views and has a good primary school.

In nearby Fakenham, there's plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor.

For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse. And Thursford is just four miles away with its magnificent collection of steam engines and organs - a visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money!

Make time to explore the Fakenham Lancaster Heritage Trail, a series of 32 plaques which bring the town's industrial past to life. Originally a vibrant agricultural centre, during the 19th century Fakenham rose to prominence as a major centre for printing - spot the printing blocks which have been set in the surface of the market place and date back to 1250. The stallholders still set out their wares every Thursday with a farmers' market on the last Saturday of the month.

Foodies are spoilt for choice with locally farmed meat, produce and award winning Mrs Temple's cheese available to fill your pantry at nearby Walsingham Farm Shops. Save the washing up and dine out at The Ostrich Inn, which has been serving locals since 1841, or indulge at Sculthorpe Mill, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022, on the edge of town.
