Description

Set within open Norfolk countryside yet enjoying excellent day-to-day connectivity, this charming cottage is a home that reflects careful stewardship, thoughtful improvement and a genuine love of rural life. The setting offers far-reaching views across open fields, where wildlife is a familiar sight, while remaining conveniently close to the amenities of Terrington St Clement and the wider King’s Lynn area.

The current owners have lived at the property since 2015, undertaking an extensive programme of refurbishment with the intention of creating a long-term family home. Every change has been guided by practicality and comfort, resulting in a house that feels both characterful and easy to live in. With their children now grown, the time feels right for this welcoming home to be passed on to its next custodians.

At the heart of the house lies the open-plan kitchen and dining room, a space that naturally draws people together. Solid wood cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a central island create a kitchen that works as well for everyday life as it does for entertaining. There is ample room for a large dining table, making it a natural hub for family meals and social gatherings, while the log burner adds warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months.

From the kitchen, the accommodation flows seamlessly into the sitting room, where a second wood-burning stove creates a cosy retreat for quieter evenings. Beyond this, the sun room provides a bright and uplifting space to relax throughout the year. With light streaming in through the lantern roof, it offers a wonderful connection to the garden and surrounding countryside, making it a favourite spot to unwind with a book or simply enjoy the changing seasons.

Practical considerations have been carefully addressed on the ground floor, with a utility room complemented by a WC and shower room. This arrangement is ideal for country living, whether returning from long walks, spending time gardening or working in the garage.Practical considerations have been carefully addressed on the ground floor, with a utility room complemented by a WC and shower room. This arrangement is ideal for country living, whether returning from long walks, spending time gardening or working in the garage.

Upstairs, the sense of space and calm continues. Three bedrooms all enjoy open views across the surrounding fields, bringing a peaceful backdrop to everyday life. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Waking to uninterrupted countryside views, with the occasional glimpse of deer moving through the fields, is one of the simple pleasures of living here.

Outside, the garden provides a generous and flexible outdoor space, combining areas of lawn with a selection of timber outbuildings. These include a summer house, a home office or hobby room, and a studio or den at the far end of the garden, currently used for yoga and quiet time. A double garage and ample off-road parking further enhance the practicality of the property.

The location offers an appealing balance of privacy and accessibility. Terrington St Clement is just a short drive away and provides a range of shops, schooling and everyday amenities, while Clenchwarton and West Lynn offer popular local services including a traditional fish and chip shop and an excellent butcher. King’s Lynn, the Sandringham Estate, coastal villages and extensive countryside walks are all within easy reach, adding to the lifestyle appeal.

Loved, homely and practical, this is a property that offers comfort, space and a strong connection to its rural surroundings, without sacrificing convenience.

CLENCHWARTON
Clenchwarton is a thriving Norfolk village located in the fens, just a few miles from King’s Lynn. The village boasts good bus links to the town and offers various clubs and organizations, along with amenities such as a post office, general store, two public houses, a children’s play area, playing field, and a good primary school.

King’s Lynn, situated on the banks of the River Ouse, has been a hub of trade and industry since the Middle Ages. Its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings that still grace the historic quarter. During the 14th century, King’s Lynn was England’s most important port, under the dominance of the Hanseatic League. While its significance as a port waned due to the growth of London, ship-building and fishing emerged as prominent industries. True’s Yard Museum documents the latter. The town is also home to more than 400 listed buildings, including the well-preserved Hanse House and Marriott’s Warehouse, King’s Lynn Minster, and Custom House, all of which have featured in numerous period dramas.

Conveniently located, King’s Lynn is within an hour’s drive from Cambridge, Peterborough, and Norwich, and boasts a direct railway line to London King’s Cross, reaching the capital in just 1 hour and 40 minutes. This has made it an attractive option for professionals seeking an easy commuter route. The town’s Vancouver Centre hosts a variety of high street retailers and independent restaurants. Additionally, entertainment options include the Majestic Cinema, King’s Lynn Alive Corn Exchange, and St George’s Guildhall, the UK’s largest surviving medieval guildhall, now a vibrant arts centre.

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.
