Description

This rare offering invites the creation of something truly special, the chance to breathe new life into both the farmhouse and the magnificent pair of period barns.

Once part of the historic Stradsett Estate, these buildings sit within a setting steeped in heritage, where a working farm still thrives alongside the stately Stradsett Hall.

Imagine transforming these character-filled structures into a spectacular country residence, an idyllic retreat, or even a harmonious blend of homes. All of this unfolds against a backdrop of formal gardens, rolling farmland, and a swan-dotted lake, a scene of timeless beauty that offers an almost blank canvas for the discerning buyer’s vision.

Whilst the farmhouse offers a fabulous opportunity, whether to simply refresh its charm or to revisit the drawing board with more ambitious aspirations, it is further enhanced by full planning permission for the conversion of the neighbouring pair of barns to dwellings (King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council Planning Reference: 23/02162/F).

STRADSETT

A picturesque village nestled in the heart of Norfolk, Stradsett offers a tranquil escape with its rural charm and close proximity to one of Norfolk’s oldest market towns, Downham Market.

Stradsett Hall, an Elizabethan manor with a Georgian façade, stands as a prominent architectural highlight. Owned by the Bagge family since the 18th century, the hall is complemented by the beautifully landscaped Stradsett Park, an inviting natural space which also serves as a venue for seasonal events through Spring, Summer and Autumn.

The most renowned local event is the Stradsett Park Vintage Rally, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024. Organised by the National Vintage Tractor and Engine Club, this two-day event showcases rare and historic tractors, machinery, and vintage engines, bringing together locals and visitors in a lively rural atmosphere. Families can enjoy artisan food stalls, live entertainment, and children’s activities, making it a cherished annual tradition.

It’s a place where the pace of life is slower, yet its closeness to Downham Market, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and thriving community, means there’s always something to explore just a short drive away.

Downham Market offers 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.

Set amidst lush green fields and rolling landscapes, Stradsett offers a perfect balance of village life and convenient access to urban amenities.

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.
