The exterior impresses with an in-and-out gravel driveway, EV charging point, and a private rear garden complete with pergola, patio, water feature, and outdoor dining area.

WATLINGTON

A small village, Watlington is situated approximately 8 miles south of King’s Lynn and close to the market town of Downham Market. The village has a mainline rail link to King’s Lynn, Cambridge and London King’s Cross with many local amenities including a doctors surgery, primary school, post office, village store, social club, public house and the Church of St Peter and St Paul.

Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King’s Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.

Originally named Bishop’s Lynn, during the reign of Henry VIII the town was surrendered to the crown and took the name King’s Lynn. During the 14th century, Lynn was England’s most important port, dominated by the Hanseatic League. Although the growth of London later eroded the port’s importance, ship-building and fishing became prominent industries, the latter of which is documented at True’s Yard Museum.

With more than 400 listed buildings, two warehouses – Hanse House and Marriott’s Warehouse – still stand in the centre of the town, along with King’s Lynn Minster and Custom House. These have appeared as stars of the screen in numerous period dramas and it’s not unusual to spot a camera crew and cast on location.

King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House was once known as ‘Stockfish Row’ for the number of fish merchants that lived there. In 1845, there were at least ten pubs on this street alone, and although these have faded away a relatively new arrival is the WhataHoot distillery with its gin school and handmade spirits.
