DESCRIPTION
Star House is a remarkable Grade II listed home, set back from the road and regarded as one of Fakenham's oldest buildings, believed to date from circa 1600. Built of flint cobble and brick with distinctive Dutch gables, the property offers a rare blend of history and character in a central yet surprisingly private setting.

Formerly a public house for nearly 200 years, first licensed in 1829 as the Star Inn, the building has been sympathetically converted and beautifully restored to a high standard. Period features are evident throughout, including sash and arched windows with shutters, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, tiled and boarded floors, and an exceptional snug retaining original panelling and architectural detailing.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors plus a cellar and includes five bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a walk-in dressing room and en suite. The ground floor provides generous living and entertaining space with a sitting room, dining room, garden room and snug.

Unusually for a town centre property, the grounds extend to approximately 0.28 acre (subject to survey), featuring a gated front courtyard with ample parking and an impressive, partly walled rear garden arranged over two levels with vehicular access.
