Travelling from the marketplace on Oak Street in the market town of Fakenham, nestled in a popular location, you ll find Field House. This has been home to our vendors for more than forty years. A short stroll into town to take advantage of amenities has been crucial to them and their family, as has easy access to the North Norfolk coast.
The property occupies a generous plot that runs towards the river Wensum. For buyers seeking the ideal family home, look no further. It boasts a modernised, contemporary kitchen family room that opens into a delightful garden room. The accommodation has been extended into the loft space, providing a fourth bedroom and bathroom, alongside a modernised bathroom serving three bedrooms on the first floor ideal for families.
Our vendors have cherished the outside space alongside the house, featuring a mainly lawned south facing rear garden, patio, and greenhouse, interspersed with trees and shrubs. There s an additional garden area leading to the river via the rear garden gate.
A garage, workshop, and ample parking are provided beyond the gated driveway. With a heavy heart, it is time for our vendors to move on, allowing Field House to find new custodians and for a new chapter to be written.
