Hampton Court, Nelson Street

The Property

A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade I listed three-bedroom townhouse forming part of the historic Hampton Court, a unique quadrangle development dating from the 14th to 17th centuries and restored by the King's Lynn Preservation Trust. Offered with no upward chain, the property represents a distinctive and characterful home within one of the town's most notable settings. 

No. 11 is particularly noteworthy as the only 'house' within the development, offering over 1,100 sq.ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, together with an impressive 46ft attic space above.

The property is well presented and retains a wealth of character features including exposed beams, large picture windows and an impressive, exposed brick chimney breast with inglenook fireplace. Views are enjoyed over the central quadrangle and towards Hanse House on St. Margaret's Lane. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to a well-proportioned living room, a dual-aspect space with wood burning stove set within the inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/dining room is fitted in a traditional shaker style with granite work surfaces, Butler sink and integrated appliances, providing a practical yet characterful space with direct access to St. Margaret's Lane.

To the first floor, a landing with large picture window enhances the sense of light and space, leading to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous with dual aspect and exposed brick detailing, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guest or study use. The property is served by both a family bathroom, fitted in a heritage style with bath and shower over, and a separate modern shower room with underfloor heating.  A notable feature is the substantial attic space extending to approximately 46ft, offering excellent storage potential.

Externally, residents of Hampton Court benefit from access to a secluded communal 'Secret Garden', a peaceful and attractive space rarely found within such a central location.

Location

Situated in the heart of King's Lynn's historic quarter, the property forms part of the charming Hampton Court, a delightful quadrangle of unique residences set just moments from the town's waterfront and principal heritage buildings.
