Description

Set on the far eastern edge of the village, Orchard Barn is perfectly arranged for modern family life with an abundance of flexible living and entertaining space, with wonderful countryside views and just a short walk or cycle to both Burnham Market and Holkham Estate.

Fronting Gong Lane, which provides a pleasurable stroll to Burnham Overy Staithe, Orchard Barn is a property that from its outset has naturally and immediately blended into the village aesthetic as if it had always been a part of Burnham Overy Town.

The entrance hallway, with useful cupboard for boot storage, leads into the the vast kitchen with its central island.

Although a separate and defined space, the opening through to the dining and family room gives this combined area an easy and sociable flow to the house, with sliding doors opening out to the patio and garden inviting the outside in. The kitchen also has access to an adjacent utility room, leading through to the ground floor shower room.

Leading from the dining room and the kitchen, you enter a double height hall with a cathedral window. The central stairway leads to the upper landing area, with a spectacular view over the Holkham Estate farmland.

Finally, at the far end of the house is the sitting room, which is not only generous in size, but also perfectly in proportion to the other attributes of this property. This room has both a stylish log burner for cosy winter evenings in, as well as french doors out to the west facing patio and garden for al fresco summer nights.

Take the central stairs up to the first floor and you are greeted by everyone's favourite part of this house, the upper landing. With its generosity of space affording not only a study area, but also a seating area, this is the spot that naturally draws each and every generation towards it. This is a place to retreat to and relax, whilst soaking up those spectacular countryside views.

Upstairs there are a further four bedrooms, two generous doubles. The principal bedroom having both a built-in double door wardrobe and an en-suite, whilst the others share a spacious family bathroom.

Outside and to the rear, the enclosed garden is west and south facing and mostly laid to lawn. Open to the south, it is positioned to make maximum use of natural light.

Finally there is both off road parking as well as an adjoining double garage.

Orchard Barn has been a very much loved home from home for all the family for several years, they've loved that Burnham Overy Staithe is just up the track and over the hill.

BURNHAM OVERY TOWN

Burnham Overy Town is between Burnham Market, half a mile to the west, and Holkham, three miles to the east, Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Nelson, is a mile to the southeast. King's Lynn is 20 miles away with mainline access to Cambridge and London and Norwich is 30 miles away with its international gateway via Schiphol.

Historically Burnham Overy had been the port for the surrounding villages of the Burnhams. Both Overy Town and Overy Staithe lie on the River Burn, and until the end of the Middle Ages trading ships were able to reach the village of Burnham Overy Town. Whenever a ship arrived a gong would be sounded at the top of Gong Lane, to alert the farm workers to unload the incoming goods. Perhaps the town's most famous resident was Richard Woodget. He first went to sea in coasters plying the waters off the east coast of England. In 1885 he was appointed captain of the Cutty Sark. He made several record breaking journeys between the UK and Australia.

The village has a fine church originally built in the 13th century. There are no shops but Burnham Market is on the doorstep.

About Sowerbys, Burnham Market

Market Place, Burnham Market, PE31 8HD
Industry affiliations:

For many years now, people have been attracted to the beautiful Georgian village of Burnham Market and the surrounding area for both main homes and increasingly holiday retreats from busy city life. The office here on The Green was the first opened by Max Sowerby and has always been at the heart of the company as it has expanded. First and foremost, we love the work we do and take great pleasure in offering a service that is second to none. The team here feel extremely privileged to be living and working in such a stunning environment.

"Since opening my first Sowerbys office over two decades ago, I am pleased that Sowerbys have earned a reputation for having a completely honest approach to selling and letting property. I put this down to many things such as our fantastically located offices and our excellent marketing, but, without doubt I believe the main reason for our success is my Sowerbys team. They are nothing like the stereotypical salespeople often associated with the industry but have been chosen for their honesty and professionalism. I always ask myself 'Would I be happy?', 'Would I trust them to look after my property?' I can honestly say YES, I would."
