Swan Street, Fakenham, NR21

Flintstones is a charming Grade II Listed end terrace period cottage, believed to date back to 1685, making it one of the oldest houses in the town. Situated in the heart of the popular market town of Fakenham, the property has been beautifully refurbished in more recent years, retaining a wealth of traditional features including reclaimed oak latch doors, oak and stone flooring, exposed beams, casement windows and a fireplace housing a wood burning stove.  The characterful and flexible accommodation is arranged over three storeys.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to a useful utility/boot room, shower room, bedroom 2 and a room currently used as a snug, with direct access to the rear garden.  This could alternatively provide a third bedroom.

The first floor features a spacious yet cosy open plan sitting/dining room leading to a well appointed kitchen, together with a bathroom.

The superb principal bedroom occupies the second floor, featuring a part vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers and plenty of natural light from a casement window and four rooflights.
