Description

The Mill is a striking and spacious Grade II listed former watermill, beautifully converted and restored to create a remarkable village home beside the River Nar.

Set over three floors and extending to approximately 6,000 sq. ft. (STMS), this is a property with real presence, character and individuality. From the moment you step inside, the scale of the building is immediately felt. Generous rooms, historic traits, exposed mill features and flexible living spaces combine to create a home that feels both impressive and highly individual.

The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged, with a substantial kitchen and dining room forming the natural heart of the home. There is excellent ancillary space too, including a utility room, cloakroom, studio and gym, while retained mill machinery offers a rare and evocative reminder of the building’s working past which gives the house its unmistakable identity.

On the first floor, the accommodation opens into a magnificent sitting room, measuring over 30 ft. (STMS) in length, where the proportions of the building can be fully appreciated. Also on this level is an office, a bathroom with sauna, a bedroom and a dedicated cinema room, which could also serve as an additional bedroom if required.

The second floor provides a selection of four further bedrooms, including a show-stopping principal suite. A roof terrace adds another unexpected and highly appealing dimension as a private place to step outside, enjoy the surroundings and take in the atmosphere of this unique setting.

For the current owners, what they have loved most is simple: the feeling of the building, the space and the convenience. Their favourite places within the home are the sauna and dedicated cinema, both of which speak to the lifestyle The Mill offers.

Outside, the setting is closely tied to the landscape and history of Narborough. Walks in either direction along the River Nar are a particular joy, offering immediate access to countryside. The village itself has continued to evolve over recent years, while still retaining the charm and character that make this part of Norfolk so special. From here, King’s Lynn, the wider west Norfolk countryside and the county’s much-loved beaches are all within easy reach.

The Mill is not simply a large home; it is a rare piece of Norfolk history, reimagined for modern living. With its flexible layout, memorable features and riverside village setting, it offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a home with scale, soul and a story to tell.

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.
