Fakenham

Situated just a short walk from the town centre, yet in a completely private and peaceful location, No. 24 is a perfectly proportioned and well-arranged single-storey home.

Turn off bustling Norwich Road, down through The Lawn, and at the very end you’ll find No. 24, nestled against the southern edge of the town alongside the countryside beyond.

Although still in its original layout, the home remains highly practical for modern living. Almost all rooms lead off the central hall, with the living and entertaining spaces on one side. The sitting room opens to the dining room, with the kitchen beside it, and all three flow naturally together. The conservatory is the real highlight, perfectly positioned to make the most of the wonderful meadow views beyond.

On the opposite side of the property, three generous double bedrooms all feature fitted wardrobes, served by a family bathroom and a separate shower room with a newly fitted electric power shower.

Externally, the home is equally impressive. To the front is a rare brick-built double garage - unique within The Lawn, where most properties have just one - along with two off-street parking spaces. A patio garden is accessed from the utility room, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn. Thanks to its slightly elevated position, No. 24 enjoys those far-reaching countryside views whether you are relaxing in the conservatory or dining alfresco on the patio.

For those seeking the tranquillity and views of village life, the usual compromise is a lack of amenities. Not so at No. 24. Here, you can enjoy the bucolic spectacle of grazing animals in the meadows adjacent to the property, yet remain just a five-minute walk from everything this beautiful North Norfolk market town has to offer.
