Charming Home in Docking

Built by Avada Homes, a name that is synonymous with quality of finish and sympathetic aesthetics, this wonderful house has been transformed into a loving family home by our sellers.

Completed less than two years ago, 23 Sandringham Avenue is a beautifully presented four-bedroom home. As with almost all Avada Homes, majority of the accommodation is arranged over the ground floor with three large double bedrooms, two featuring private en-suites whilst the third has use of the family bathroom.

Stepping up to the first floor it is immediately apparent as to what makes this house so very appealing. The principal living space is open plan, featuring double height vaulted ceiling really giving it a real sense of space and grandeur. Although open plan, the vendor has arranged and dressed this room to provide three distinct living spaces, the kitchen, the dining room, and the reception room.

In addition, there are double doors that open up to what is currently the home office but it could easily become a TV room or snug whilst the other door from this central room gives access to what is currently the snug, with its en-suite shower room, originally designed as the fourth bedroom.

To the side of and adjoining the property is a garage as well as two off street parking spaces.

To the rear the private garden is south facing and open to the west so enjoys natural light and provides for a real sun trap in the summer, so much so that the vendor has built a pergola in the south eastern corner to provide some much needed shade for those hotter summer days.

Whilst Avada deserve full credit for creating this beautiful brick and flint house, it is our seller who has made it such a beautiful home.

DOCKING
Docking is arguably one of Norfolk's best hideaways, just four miles from the sea yet a comfortable breeze away from the coastal crowds in the heat of summer, and within a comfortable drive of the market towns of Fakenham and elegant Holt.

Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk's highest points at 272ft and was once known as 'Dry Docking', because of its lack of drinking water. A well was sunk in the village in the 18th century and residents paid a farthing per bucket until a mains supply was installed in 1936. The small village played a key role in World War II when the RAF Docking airfield operated between 1940-1958, and nearby Docking Hall housed serving actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy and Warren Mitchell during this time.

Today, a strong village community exists and Docking has a thriving nursery and primary school, and the heart-warming sound of young children enjoying playtime often echoes in the surrounding streets, as it has for centuries. Well-serviced, Docking also has a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court and bowling green, along with a popular fish and chip shop and good local, The Railway Inn.

Buyers are spoilt for choice with a wide range of property including traditional, brick and flint and whitewashed cottages, classic Georgian houses and a growing range of quality new-build homes. One of the latest additions is Four Miles, so called for its short distance from the coastline at Thornham and Brancaster, which offers a range of quality cottages, barns and apartments on generous plots, sympathetically designed to fit in with their country location.

You may be inspired to try your hand at The Good Life and grow your own, but if you lack a green thumb try the weekly farmer's market at the village's Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with super-fresh produce from local smallholders and jars and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.

Offering the best of coast and country, it's easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
