Main Road, Brancaster, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE31

Coastal village convenience, with parking and garden.

Description

The Old Stores is a lovely village house, set in the heart of Brancaster and crucially with private parking and gardens. It is perfectly positioned to make the most of the coastal lifestyle, whether in Brancaster itself, or the wider coastline.

A handsome 19th century home, the property has evolved to fulfil modern living styles. The focal point of this is the an open plan space almost 14 metres long, flowing from a garden room through to the kitchen, creating a sociable and vibrant space to enjoy. The light and airy garden room, with roof lantern and bi fold doors out to a south facing terrace, is a comfortable sitting area, open to the fitted kitchen and then beyond to the dining area, with character provided by a bay window and open fireplace. A spacious sitting room provides a quiet and private room away from the open plan living, with original fireplace and tall ceilings which are enjoyed throughout the ground floor. Completing the accommodation on this level is a useful shower room, ideal for sandy children and/or dogs after a day on the beach.

The bedrooms are spread across the first and second floor, and are all double rooms with great natural light. On the first floor are two bedrooms, one with built in wardrobe and both served by the family bathroom. On the second floor, with vaulted ceilings and velux windows, there is the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, and a further bedroom.

Outside
Considering the central village location, The Old Stores has generous outside space.

A wooden five bar gate opens to a private parking and turning area for cars and boats. This is a great space and removes the hassle of worrying about where to park, which can often be an issue in the coastal villages of Norfolk. Furthermore, the property includes an Oak frame cart shed, of two bays, one being open the other with doors to create secure storage. It is a great asset for the house.

To the south of the house is a paved terrace, a lovely spot to enjoy sun throughout out the day, with shade provide by a mature tree. The terrace is directly outside the garden room, with the bi-fold doors opening to create the link between inside and outside.

Location

Brancaster, situated on the famous Norfolk coastline, is a charming village with direct access to the coastal lifestyle. The village hosts arguably the best beach of Norfolk, well known for its wide expanse of sand, where many a happy childhood has been spent, and has become a destination for kite surfers. Running alongside the beach is the famous Royal West Norfolk Golf Club, a fine links course immersed within the coastline. Also within the village is The Ship public house, which is now run by the Michelin rated team of the Sculthorpe Mill, and a village stores and post office.

The coastline as a whole offers further beaches and golf courses, a delicatessen, village stores and popular public houses in nearby Thornham, together with Drove Orchards hosting a farm shop, Gurneys fish shop, and the famous Erics fish & chips, and Erics Pizza. Excellent sailing is from the neighbouring village of Brancaster Staithe, a village with further excellent pubs including the thriving White Horse, fish shop, cafes and village stores.

This stretch of coastline is renowned for superb bird watching, whilst Burnham Market is 7 miles from the house, with an array of boutique independent shops, bakery, butchers, fishmongers and restaurants including Socius and Number 29.

The local and historic market town of Kings Lynn is about 18 miles, with main line rail service to London Kings Cross.
