SITUATION

Gunthorpe was mentioned in the Domesday Book and is a quiet village approached on small single track roads culminating on the village green, within a conservation area in the valley of the River Gun. The Grade II Listed Gunthorpe Hall was built by Sir John Soane in 1789, the architect who designed the Bank of England building in Threadneedle Street. Today the village has a fine parish church and active village hall.

The village sits quietly between the A148 and B1354 giving access to Norwich with train and international airport links and King’s Lynn train links to Cambridge and London.

There are plenty of amenities on offer in both the Georgian market town of Holt and Fakenham including schooling for all ages, medical centres, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, garages and a cinema.

Holt is renowned for its attractive street frontages and for its wide and eclectic range of independent shops, as well as Bakers and Larners department store. Holt is also home to Gresham’s pre-prep, prep and senior schools, founded in 1555.

The town of Fakenham is transformed by its weekly market and auction with a farmer's market monthly and at least 12 race days a year held at Fakenham Racecourse - one of the finest national hunt racecourses in the country.
