Downham Market

This property epitomises the essence of a lifestyle home, featuring a commercial space on the ground floor and two independent apartments above. Over the past 27 years, the current owner has cherished their time within these walls.

Believed to have origins dating back to the 1600s, Cannon House stands as a historical landmark, likely to continue its legacy for years to come.

Upon entering, one is immediately captivated by the Georgian charm, beckoning exploration of the entirety of the space. The exquisite panelling exudes charm and character, while the open plan layout perfectly serves its purpose. Noteworthy is the garden room's striking live wall, adding a unique touch.

Above the commercial area lie two self-contained apartments. The first-floor apartment, accessible from the rear, currently yields a favourable monthly income. It boasts a cosy sitting/dining room, a double bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

The topmost apartment, the residence of the current owner, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Bursting with character and charm, it showcases exposed beams, bricks, and a coveted fireplace. The open-plan layout seamlessly integrates a newly fitted kitchen, dining area, and sitting space. The family bathroom completes this level. Ascending the bespoke staircase leads to the spacious mezzanine bedroom.

Parking-wise, there's an off-road space at the front, while the fully enclosed courtyard garden provides a serene spot for enjoying a morning coffee.

This property presents an enchanting opportunity, brimming with potential and offered with no onward chain.


 

DOWNHAM MARKET One of Norfolk's oldest market towns, Downham Market can be traced back to Saxon times.

The town has a good range of shops and a busy market on Fridays and Saturdays as well as a range of schools and nurseries including a college. There are many attractive houses and buildings and an unusual gothic black and white town clock.

There is a mainline railway station with fast direct trains to Cambridge (39 minutes)and London King's Cross (1 hour and 35 minutes). It is an ideal place for walking or cycling and the peaceful waterways are excellent for boating and fishing.

Nearby at Welney is the famous Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust nature reserve, which is very popular with birdwatchers.
In November the Festival of Swans is held where visitors can observe the over-wintering swans.

King's Lynn (11 miles away) has an excellent variety of shops, supermarkets, places to eat, ten-pin bowling alley, swimming pool, football club, cinema, theatre and three impressive churches. There are many services within the town including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, police station, fire station, primary schools, three secondary schools, college and a library.
