Docking

Conveniently located within the popular North Norfolk village of Docking, this is an attractive brick and flint three-bedroom cottage that is incredibly well-balanced.

Whilst there is a front door for popping down to the shop or over the road to the pub, this really is a home that will be entered via the back door from the parking spaces. The ground floor is divided neatly between a generous kitchen dining room to the front and an equally well-proportioned sitting room to the rear, with French doors out to the garden.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the largest of which also has an en-suite shower room. The other two bedrooms share the family bathroom, and there is also a guest WC on the ground floor. It is from the upper floor that one can fully appreciate those wonderful views over the open countryside and farmland.

Outside and to the rear the garden is completely enclosed and secure, so very safe for your two and four-legged little ones. It is patioed immediately off the back of the cottage and the remainder is raised and laid to lawn so all very easy to maintain. Beyond the garden gate, there are two off-street parking spaces.

No.2 Winchmore Row is a sympathetically designed brick and flint cottage and has been a much-loved home from home for the current owner for many years. Its walking proximity to all that the village offers as well as the ease of which they can reach the beach at Brancaster, the deli in Thornham, or Twenty9 in Burnham Market have made this the ideal location for relaxing holidays.

DOCKING

Docking is one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea and a short drive from the market towns of Fakenham and Holt.

Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272 feet and was once known as 'Dry Docking' due to its lack of drinking water. In the 18th century, a well was sunk, and residents paid a farthing per bucket until mains water was installed in 1936. During World War II, RAF Docking airfield operated nearby, and Docking Hall housed actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy, and Warren Mitchell.

Today, Docking boasts a strong community with a thriving nursery and primary school, filling the streets with the sound of children playing. The village is well-serviced with a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court, bowling green, popular fish and chip shop, and The Railway Inn.

Buyers have a wide range of property options, including traditional brick and flint cottages, classic Georgian houses, and quality new-build homes. One notable development is Four Miles, named for its proximity to Thornham and Brancaster, offering cottages, barns, and apartments designed to blend with the countryside.

Docking residents can enjoy growing their own produce or visit the weekly farmer's market at Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with fresh produce from local smallholders and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.

Offering the best of coast and country, it's easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
