Downham Market

Tucked away in a peaceful, private location yet just a gentle stroll from the heart of Downham Market, 10a Mill Lane is a beautifully individual three-bedroom home that offers open-plan living, thoughtful design, and a wonderfully secluded garden retreat.

Set across two spacious levels and extending to approximately 1,170 sq. ft., this home balances modern convenience with a warm, welcoming charm. The ground floor opens into a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/living space - measuring an impressive 21’7” by 19’1” - bathed in natural light and perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. A well-proportioned double bedroom, which could be utilised as an additional reception room, and contemporary family bathroom complete the downstairs layout, while clever storage solutions are tucked neatly under the stairs.

Upstairs, you’ll find two further bedrooms, including a serene principal suite with en-suite shower room. A versatile third bedroom and separate storage room offer flexibility - ideal for guests, hobbies, or home working.

Sustainability and comfort have been thoughtfully considered throughout. The home features a highly efficient Air Source Heating system, with underfloor heating to the entire ground floor - ensuring year-round warmth and energy savings aided by Solar PV panels to the front elevation. Additionally, a rainwater harvesting system offers an eco-friendly solution by supplying grey water for flushing the WCs - combining modern convenience with sustainable living.

Externally, the property continues to delight. A spacious gated driveway provides ample off-road parking, ensuring both privacy and practicality. The rear garden is a true haven - planted with a variety of established fruit trees and featuring a large summerhouse/garden shed, perfect for storage, creativity, or quiet reflection.

At the centre of it all is a charming covered veranda - an idyllic spot to unwind. “My favourite view is sitting under the veranda in the back garden on a summer’s evening,” says the current owner, capturing the peaceful ambience of this much-loved home.

Set in a quiet yet central location, it’s just a short walk to Downham Market’s shops, cafés, and mainline station with links to Ely, Cambridge, and London. With nearby nature spots and a strong community feel, it’s an ideal blend of town and tranquillity.

DOWNHAM MARKET
One of Norfolk’s oldest market towns, Downham Market can be traced back to Saxon times.

The town has a good range of shops and a busy market on Fridays and Saturdays as well as a range of schools and nurseries including a college. There are many attractive houses and buildings and an unusual gothic black and white town clock.

There is a mainline railway station with fast direct trains to Cambridge (39 minutes)and London King’s Cross (1 hour and 35 minutes). It is an ideal place for walking or cycling and the peaceful waterways are excellent for boating and fishing.

Nearby at Welney is the famous Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust nature reserve, which is very popular with birdwatchers.

In November the Festival of Swans is held where visitors can observe the over-wintering swans.

King’s Lynn (11 miles away) has an excellent variety of shops, supermarkets, places to eat, ten-pin bowling alley, swimming pool, football club, cinema, theatre and three impressive churches.
