Description

With a story written in brick, beam, and breathtaking countryside, Fairview Farm is an enchanting four-bedroom farmhouse that strikes the perfect balance between period character and contemporary comfort - a home lovingly restored with passion and purpose by its current owners.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of harmony. The pleasing symmetry of twin bay windows and a central doorway hints at the craftsmanship of the past, while beyond lies a home that embraces modern rural life with open arms. Nestled within just under two acres of idyllic Norfolk countryside, this is a property that doesn’t just offer space - it offers a way of life.

While guests may be welcomed through the handsome formal entrance, day-to-day life flows effortlessly via the rear boot room - a wonderfully practical entrance that neatly adjoins a dedicated shower room and utility. These spaces offer a seamless buffer between outdoor adventures and indoor elegance, a dream for countryside living.

Step further inside and the heart of the home reveals itself in spectacular style. The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is the soul of this house - a space where light pours in from the rear french doors and a characterful bay window, highlighting the textures of exposed brickwork, a wood-burning stove, and the rustic charm of timber finishes. Whether it’s family breakfasts, festive dinners, or fireside storytelling, this is a room for every season and every memory. A generous walk-in pantry ensures function meets finesse.

Across the hall, the sitting room echoes the warmth and character, with another bay window and wood burner offering the perfect retreat for evenings in or quiet contemplation.

Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms continue the home’s welcoming atmosphere. Two of the principal bedrooms feature elegant fireplaces, adding further charm and personality. A beautifully appointed family bathroom - with both bath and separate shower catering comfortably to modern family life.

Outside, the lifestyle potential continues. Attached to the house, two outbuildings provide superb flexibility - ideal as workshop space, storage, or perhaps future living accommodation (STPP). The land itself is a true highlight, just under two acres of paddock and garden that lend themselves perfectly to equestrian pursuits, hobby farming, or simply the luxury of space to roam, gather, and grow, along with ample parking for multiple vehicles.

Fairview Farm is more than just a home - it’s a canvas for your countryside dream, where character meets comfort, and nature meets nurture.

About Sowerbys, King's Lynn

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

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.
