3 Bedroom Cottage Under Offer
Sitting proudly in arguably part of Norfolk's finest countryside, this is a delightful, three double bedroom former railway cottage with panoramic field views and just a short drive to the coast and its neighbouring villages of Docking and Burnham Market.
The cottage is cleverly arranged with the central kitchen dining room flowing naturally through into the reception room; both are south facing and flooded with natural light, and with the log burner that sits on its Norfolk pamment tiles, the reception room is also cosy and warm in the winter. Leading off the reception room is a south facing conservatory which just adds to the feeling of light and space that is such a feature of this home. From the reception room stairs lead up to the principal bedroom suite, whilst at the other end of the cottage, and on the ground floor, there are a further two double bedrooms, the larger of which has an en-suite shower room whilst the third has use of the family bathroom. This bedroom arrangement is perfect not only as guest accommodation but also for multi generational living.
Outside there is a beautiful and very recently landscaped wrap-around garden which is easily maintained, and parking for a handful of cars secured by a five bar gate.
Having once formed a part of the historic West Norfolk Junction Railway and dating back to circa 1850, Gate House was originally built to oversee a level crossing and operated as such from 1866 until 1953 for the line between its neighbouring villages. Since then it has been substantially and sympathetically extended into what we find today, an extremely well balanced, beautifully presented and very private home.
DOCKING Docking is a busy village with a small supermarket and post office, a fish and chip shop, a pub, a large village playing field, tennis court and bowling green. There is a weekly farmers market with stallholders including a baker, fishmonger, a butcher and greengrocer, and with stalls selling cheese, preserves and cakes. The village is perfectly placed for the North Norfolk Coast and its long, fine sandy beaches. Brancaster and The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club are about four miles away. There are two golf courses in Hunstanton, which is less than eight miles away. The Titchwell Bird Reserve, home to terns and waders is close by. The ultra fashionable Georgian village of Burnham Market, Sandringham and the market towns of Fakenham and King's Lynn are also nearby.
