Description

Tucked away in the highly regarded village of Ashwicken, 12 Fen Lane is an impressively spacious and beautifully improved single storey home offering around 1,861 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation, with open views across the Fen to the front and a plot of 0.3 acres (STMS) a property that immediately feels welcoming, practical and ready to enjoy.

Over recent years, the current owners have undertaken a comprehensive renovation programme, including the creation of a much-coveted open-plan kitchen/dining space which has become the hub of the home. Impressive in scale (approaching 28ft in length), it’s ideal for family celebrations, relaxed Sunday lunches and entertaining with ease. Beyond this, a generous sitting room and an adjoining study/office provide calmer spaces to unwind, with a layout that flows effortlessly for modern living.

The former garage has also been converted to provide a highly versatile studio, with the replacement of windows and external doors, plus a full re-wire and re-plumb. Incorporating a utility/boot room, it’s perfect as a home office, creative space, gym or hobby room, or simply that invaluable “extra room” that makes all the difference.

The accommodation includes four bedrooms, served by two shower rooms, offering excellent versatility for families, guests, or those seeking space to work from home.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a double width driveway providing generous off-road parking. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, while to the rear the garden has been designed for ease and enjoyment, with raised borders adding structure and seasonal colour. There’s a wonderful sense of privacy as it backs onto light woodland - a peaceful, natural backdrop for morning coffee, summer evenings and everything in between.

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.
