The Orchard, Fakenham – 3 bedrooms, £695,000

The Orchard is a select development of three uniquely designed, detached properties tucked away in a private cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Fakenham.

Enclosed by traditional park fencing and backing onto mature woodland this private and peaceful location is leafy and wonderfully unoverlooked

This new brick, flint and clad detached home features a large open-plan living area and kitchen, and a useful separate ground-floor cloakroom.

There is underfloor heating to the ground floor, supplied via an air source heat pump, and solar panels have been installed making this home both comfortable and energy efficient.

With high-quality fixtures and finishes throughout, the property features contemporary-style aluminium double glazing.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a fully-tiled bathroom and an en-suite shower room.

Externally there is a front drive with an adjoining garden and integral garage, and to the rear the property has an enclosed garden laid to lawn with established planting and a patio area.

Norfolk’s big blue skies and golden sands are within easy reach, wonderful Wells-next-the-Sea with its pretty harbour, ten miles north as the crow flies, and Holkham Beach with its pine trees, striped huts and dunes.

Or enjoy unhurried hours browsing Burnham Market’s pretty boutiques before a light bite at award-winning Socius on the edge of Foundry Field.

Closer to home, enjoy a walk at Pensthorpe, a stunning nature reserve on the edge of the town, blow the cobwebs away at Sculthorpe Moor, or up the adrenaline with a day at Fakenham Races.

With a weekly market and an independent cinema, there are plenty of fabulous places to eat including gastro-pub The Ostrich Inn, which has been serving locals since 1841, and Michelin Bib Gourmand awarded Sculthorpe Mill, a fabulous restaurant at nearby Sculthorpe.

Coming to market in spring 2024 with Sowerbys, this stunning three-bedroom property comes with a NHBC warranty and is available for sale at £695,000. Call 01603 281024 to arrange a viewing.
