Burnham Thorpe

With meadowland views to the south, farmland to the west, and an orchard to the east, the location of Meadway could not be more idyllic.

Purchased from the Holkham estate in the late 1960s, Meadway has remained in the same family ownership ever since. Though designed in a period when aesthetics was less prioritised, it is nonetheless a substantial home. From the wide and welcoming central entrance hall, the property neatly divides into two areas: on one side, three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate WC; on the other, a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, and a 24 ft. living room, offering wonderful views over the adjoining meadow pastureland.

Sitting in the living room and looking out over the pastures, it’s easy to understand why this home has remained in the same ownership for almost sixty years. Whether it’s lambs frolicking in spring, llamas in summer, or the constant ebb and flow of owls, deer, rabbits, and hares, this perfect countryside view will never be spoiled.

This 1,850 sq. ft. home sits squarely on its 0.25-acre plot (stms) with gardens facing both west and south, ensuring sunshine at any time of day. An integrated double garage at the rear and ample off-street parking for several cars add to its practicality.

Meadway is a property of its time, and some may simply view it as a potential plot, wishing to demolish and start anew with a complete rebuild. However, given its generous size and perfect orientation, this is also a property that could easily be enhanced in appearance.

BURNHAM THORPE
Burnham Thorpe is very much off the beaten track. It’s famous for being the birthplace of Nelson although his house was knocked down many years ago. The pub, The Lord Nelson, has recently reopened following substantial renovations. It’s just 2 miles from Burnham Market with its wide range of shops and boutiques together with good food establishments, and a little over 2 miles from the coastal village of Burnham Overy Staithe with its tidal harbour, and good walks across the marshes and long sandy beaches.

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Burnham Market is for many people the jewel in the crown of North Norfolk, a stunning Georgian village with a green surrounded by 18th century houses, shops and chic boutiques. Along with The Hoste Arms, it also boasts the exciting restaurants; Number 29, and Socius. The village has a range of amenities including doctors’ and dental surgeries, primary school and post office.

There is an abundance of small village shops including a butcher, fresh fish shop, beauty and hair salon. Also there are bookshops, art galleries, a good wine merchant, Satchells, and a popular delicatessen, Humble Pie. The village playing field has all weather tennis courts and children’s recreational equipment. The village is close to the sailing harbours at Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Overy Staithe and the Royal West Norfolk Golf Course at Brancaster. The closest rail link to London King’s Cross is at King’s Lynn.
