Full Description

**A Unique Opportunity to Own a Piece of History on the Royal Sandringham Estate**

Set in a tranquil village on the Royal Sandringham Estate, this beautifully restored Victorian schoolhouse with its spacious adjoining cottage offers the perfect blend of heritage, character, and coastal living. A true lifestyle retreat, it’s just moments from the sweeping sands of North Norfolk’s beaches and a short drive to the boutiques, galleries, and eateries of Burnham Market and Wells-next-the-Sea.

As you approach the main property, you'll be greeted by the updated original features such as, the stained glass windows and the original school bell, a delightful nod to its past as a village school. The school served the village and its community for 90 years, from 1876 to 1966. Since its closure, the house has only ever been owned by two families and has been lovingly renovated and modernised for a new owner to enjoy.

Upon entering the main house you’re greeted by a bespoke oak staircase and a large inglenook fireplace in the spacious lounge. The room is separated by bifold doors which open into a light‐filled orangery, currently serving as a formal dining area. Throughout the interior, high‐spec finishes are abundant, from underfloor heating and air conditioning to the wood‐burner in the lounge, ensuring comfort year‐round.

Beyond the lounge lies a cosy snug with its own fireplace, a convenient cloakroom/WC and an office. Off the main living area, step into the main entrance hall and into a generously proportioned bespoke kitchen and dining area. An adjoining utility room leads on to a practical boot room, a downstairs bathroom and an additional bedroom.

Upstairs is a gallery landing with wooden balustrades and exposed beams which leads to three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a private large en‐suite bathroom and the same characterful vaulted beams run throughout, while the two additional double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Tucked away to the side of the main house sits a fully self‐contained annex-known as School Cottage which provides versatile accommodation as a guest wing or holiday let. Here you’ll find two bright bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and an open‐plan living area that extends into a vaulted, timber‐framed conservatory. Outside, both properties share access to patios and gardens adorned with flowering borders, and a capacious gravel driveway offers parking for up to six cars.

The School house has a front and rear garden, which features a small patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. There is a functional summerhouse complete with power and water which could provide a secluded spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings alternately it could be a small studio space or a small gym.
