Description
Given the property was built on a double plot, it sits comfortably within its landscaped gardens, towards the bottom of the cul-de-sac. Built in a chalet style, it perfectly accommodates ground floor living. Our vendors have reconfigured the ground floor to provide a well proportioned principal bedroom served by a modernised bathroom.
The property has given our vendors more space and multi-generational living, with good access into town. A particular favourite is the ever increasing market on a Thursday, when the town is closed to traffic and the hustle and bustle of the traders and the weekly auction can be enjoyed. The High School is easily accessed, making it an enjoyable experience to walk to school.
There is much potential to make further changes given the reception and kitchen space. The garden room is a triumph to be used all year round, leading beautifully into the rear garden. Much time has also been spent outside, creating a well stocked, mature garden, including a thriving vegetable patch.
Our vendors enjoy living in a friendly community with, in their words, an "ideal neighbour." They have embraced the area and Fakenham in particular, and would urge any buyers looking to move to north Norfolk, close to the coast, to consider the area and all it has to offer.
It is time for this spacious, homely and friendly property to be enjoyed by its next custodian, writing new chapters in a continuing story…..
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.
