Exclusive Private Gate Development in Downham Market

Tucked away within the exclusive Wingfields development, a private gated community just moments from the centre of Downham Market, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home enjoys an enviable corner position with an enlarged, private garden. Originally built by Charles Church, the development offers a rare blend of security, community and convenience, all within walking distance of the town centre, railway station and local amenities.

Extending to over 1,030 sq. ft. the accommodation is light-filled and thoughtfully arranged. At its heart sits a bright dual-aspect kitchen/dining room, filled with morning and afternoon light, while the spacious sitting room offers a relaxed retreat with French doors opening directly onto the garden. A welcoming entrance hall and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and an en-suite shower room, with two further bedrooms served by a well-appointed family bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, family or home working.

Outside, the corner plot truly sets this home apart, with a larger-than-average garden providing excellent privacy and space for outdoor living. The current owner has particularly enjoyed the peaceful setting and strong community feel within Wingfields.

Well placed for rail links to Cambridge and London, and with the Norfolk coastline within easy reach, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy modern gated living in a highly convenient and well-connected location.

DOWNHAM MARKET
Dating back to Saxon times and positioned beside the River Great Ouse, Downham Market is one of Norfolk’s oldest and most distinctive market towns. Often referred to as the “Gingerbread Town” thanks to the warm carrstone buildings that characterise many of its streets, the town centres around an attractive market square, complete with its striking black and white clock – a much-loved local landmark.

Life in Downham Market revolves around its strong sense of community and well-established amenities. The traditional market, held every Friday and Saturday, continues to bring the town centre to life, with stalls offering fresh local produce, plants, baked goods and everyday essentials. Independent cafés such as The Seat Coffee House, The Pantry and Downham Café provide welcoming spots for morning coffee or relaxed lunches, while restaurants including Phansa Thai, Downham Tandoori and Giardini Di Naxos contribute to a varied dining scene. Popular pubs such as The Crown, The Live & Let Live and The Whalebone remain firm favourites for an evening drink or informal meal.

Beyond the centre, the surrounding landscape offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits. Riverside walks along the Great Ouse, quiet Fenland cycling routes and nearby waterways create opportunities for boating, fishing and exploring the countryside. Just a short drive away, Welney Wetland Centre draws visitors throughout the year, particularly during the winter months when the Festival of Swans celebrates the arrival of thousands of migrating birds.

The town also benefits from a mainline railway station with direct services to Cambridge and London King’s Cross, while nearby King’s Lynn provides a wider range of shopping, leisure facilities and cultural attractions.
