Detached Georgian Property in Wiggenhall St. Germans

A Georgian farmhouse of timeless character and charm - plus a charming barn conversion offering holiday let or multi generational potential.

Nestled in the heart of the peaceful and well served village of Wiggenhall St. Germans, this handsome detached former Georgian farmhouse offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern versatility. Set behind a low brick wall and framed by mature climbing plants, this four bedroom family home exudes period elegance, with large a classic symmetrical façade.

The main house offers spacious, light-filled accommodation arranged over two floors, with generous reception rooms perfect for entertaining or family life. Period features remain throughout, while sympathetic updates by the current owners have brought the home beautifully into the 21st century. Notably, solar photovoltaic panels have been discreetly installed on the rear elevation, offering a more sustainable and efficient energy profile.

With its own entrance, kitchen, living area, and bathroom facilities, this space presents an exceptional opportunity for continued rental income, guest accommodation, or multi generational living.

Outside, the property enjoys mature garden areas that reflect the natural beauty of its village surroundings, along with off-road parking and a detached garage both accessed via a lane to the rear from Fitton Road.

Wiggenhall St. Germans is a quintessential West Norfolk village with a welcoming community feel, just a short drive from the historic market town of King’s Lynn with its mainline rail link to London King’s Cross which is also accessed conveniently from the neighbouring village of Watlington. The nearby countryside and waterways offer idyllic walks and outdoor pursuits, perfect for those seeking a lifestyle that balances tranquillity with accessibility.

WIGGENHALL ST. GERMANS
A pretty village, Wiggenhall St Germans is only four miles from the market town of King’s Lynn.

The village has a green, a fine old church and a range of amenities; including an excellent village shop, a pub on the river and bus routes to nearby towns and villages.

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.

With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour’s drive and a direct rail line into London King’s Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King’s Lynn, and the surrounding areas, continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route.
