Description

The beauty of a Norfolk cottage, complemented by a quaint location, The Old Post Office could be the perfect charming home, or weekend retreat. The current owners have thoroughly enjoyed their time here and their care for this property means that it may continue to be much-loved for years to come.

Built in 1873 for the workers of the Harwin family, a highly respected family in the area, and serving as the village post office, The Old Post Office is now a lovely and charming cottage ready for new occupants.

The sitting room at the front is particularly charming. Ample natural light floods in through the lovely window, whilst the fireplace adds a true sense of comfort. It’s easy to imagine sitting in front of a roaring fire, enjoying a warm brew with the radio softly playing in the background, a superb space to relax and unwind. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with its shaker-style design and country wooden shelving, complemented by the adjoining dining room helping create an ideal space for entertaining guests in style.

At the far end of the cottage is the ground floor bathroom, which has also benefited from a recent makeover. Moving upstairs and the landing provides access to three bedrooms. With exposed floorboards, high ceilings, and a couple of original Victorian feature fireplaces, these spaces are bright and cosy.

The outside is low-maintenance, making this an ideal purchase for those with limited time for gardening. A gravelled rear garden requires little upkeep and is brightened with shrubs and pots. The side drive offers off-road parking, while the established front garden further enhances the beauty of the building.

This charming cottage, nestled in the heart of the village of Boughton, has been home to many happy memories over the years and is ready to create new ones with its next owner.

About Sowerbys, King's Lynn

23 Tuesday Market Place King's Lynn Norfolk PE30 1JJ
Industry affiliations:

Our home in King’s Lynn

Overlooking the square where the calls of market traders once echoed, our King’s Lynn branch is a proud part of West Norfolk’s rich heritage. Perched on the banks of the River Great Ouse, the town was once one of the busiest ports in the country. Today, its cobbled streets along the quay are home to welcoming eateries and independent stores.

A place with history

For many years the Sowerbys team could be found on King Street - once known as ‘Stockfish Row’ for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26 feet, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England. Growth saw the branch relocate in 2022 to Bank Chambers, a grand listed property sitting centrally among historic buildings at the top of Tuesday Market Place.

Step inside

Peer out from the front-facing windows and soak up the comings and goings of shoppers across the square, surrounded by enchanting architecture that has watched over the heart of the town for centuries. Before its restoration, Bank Chambers sat empty for several years, hiding stories within its walls - from the names of local people etched into its shutters to what is thought to be the first wallpaper hung on the medieval timber frame still in place today.

A warm welcome

Step through the front door and rest your feet in the comfortable client lounge, or join us in the grand boardroom with those iconic marketplace views. Whether you’re here to talk property or simply enjoy a coffee, you’re always welcome at Sowerbys King’s Lynn.
