Fakenham

Well-situated in a popular area of the town, this link-detached bungalow, built in 1998, sits comfortably within its plot.

Our seller enjoys the quiet surrounding her property and has made the bungalow her own. Modernising the kitchen with contemporary, high gloss units was an absolute pleasure, and ensuring the property looks as good on the outside as it does the inside, the windows and doors were replaced by 'Zenith' in 2017.

Socialise with friends and family in the cosy, yet spacious, sitting room, before sitting down for a bite to eat in the kitchen. The two double bedrooms are ideal for having a guest over to stay.

The garage has been divided to provide storage to the front and a pretty garden room with power and lights to the rear. Open up the double doors onto the garden and wile away time in your very own little sanctuary. This room could of course be used, if required, to sleep an extra guest.

The outside space has been thoughtfully cared for, with the brick-weave drive presented beautifully with a lawned area to its frontage. The rear garden is enclosed and mostly laid to lawn. The solar panels have been installed on a rent-a-roof scheme and provide a generous help in the property's energy costs.

The north Norfolk coast is just a fifteen drive away, and other amenities such as Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Sculthorpe Hawk and Owl Trust are on the outskirts of the town.

This is an ideal lock up and leave home, which our seller has made her own. Now it is time for a new chapter to be written in its story by the next custodian. 

FAKENHAM Coast or country? If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the sea, Fakenham is top of the list. While sandy beaches are just ten miles away, the market town is perfectly positioned halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich with easy reach to Holt and Swaffham, making for an easy commute.

Out of working hours, 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.

From grand homes and character cottages to quality new-build houses, Fakenham has an excellent choice of property for all budgets, and on the outskirts of town there are plenty of period properties set on large plots for those looking for a little more space.

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.

A brilliant location, exquisite properties waiting to be rediscovered and a growing band of entrepreneurial businesses, Fakenham is enjoying a renaissance and offers a superb place to call home.
