South Raynham Road, West Raynham

Location West Raynham is a charming Norfolk village, part of the historic Raynham estate and just five miles southwest of the bustling market town of Fakenham. The village is renowned for Raynham Hall, an impressive 17th-century mansion that has been home to the Townshend family for nearly 400 years. The Hall is surrounded by extensive parkland and picturesque grounds, offering scenic walks through woodland, meadows, and past historic buildings. West Raynham itself features a primary school, village hall, and a strong sense of community. The nearby River Wensum adds to the rural appeal, while the remnants of St Margaret's Church provide a glimpse into the area's rich history. For amenities and further facilities, Fakenham offers supermarkets, schools, healthcare, and a weekly market. Other nearby towns include King's Lynn and Wells-next-the-Sea, both within easy reach, making West Raynham an ideal base for exploring North Norfolk. 

Description Occupying a delightful mature plot of approximately 0.75 acres on the edge of the village, this substantial detached residence offers an exceptional opportunity for families or those seeking to downsize from a larger home. Believed to date from the 1970s, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with far-reaching views across open countryside from the rear garden.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, benefiting from oil-fired central heating and double glazing. While well-maintained, the property presents exciting scope for further modernisation and personalisation. The generous sitting room is a standout feature, centred around a fireplace and opening onto the rear garden via patio doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

A separate dining room adjoins what was originally the kitchen, now repurposed as a useful preparation/utility area. The current kitchen forms part of a later extension to the property. A generously sized study/library, which can be accessed independently from the reception lobby, offers an ideal space for remote working or quiet retreat.

Upstairs, the light-filled first floor extends over the large garage, providing five bedrooms. Two of these are particularly spacious, and three benefit from their own hand basins and built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom, separate shower room, and a useful storage room complete the upper level.

The mature and secluded gardens are a true highlight, featuring a variety of established trees, including fruit trees, and offering a tranquil backdrop with uninterrupted countryside view
