Railway Sidings Yard, Snettisham PE31

A Beautifully Modernised & Extended Five-Bedroom Character Property With An Independent Annexe

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer this highly individual five-bedroom character property, with a fully independent one-bedroom annexe; situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Snettisham. The existing Victorian building was originally used as a goods shed to the nearby railway station and had fallen into a state of dis-repair, prior to undergoing an extensive and ambitious renovation programme in 2018. The work included a complete overhaul of the original building, with a substantial two-storey extension also being added. Whilst essentially being a new property in terms of finish, maintenance and efficiency; the property retains a huge amount of original charm and character.

The stylish interior offers many highlights, including a high-quality kitchen with a large central island and a stunning dining room, from where a set of bi-folding doors open out to the south-facing garden. The sitting room, which measures around 30ft in length, has a wood burning stove and a glazed oak staircase which rises to the first floor. There are five bedrooms spread over two floors, all of which are double rooms, with three equipped with luxurious en-suite facilities. There are also two further versatile reception rooms and a useful utility room.

The annexe offers an entirely different dimension to the property; whether as accommodation for visiting guests or a family member. The separation of the properties, including two separate parking areas, would also make sub-letting the annexe for either holidays or on a more long-term basis, both straight forward and un-invasive.

The property is ideally situated for exploring the local area, being just a short walk from the vibrant village centre and the recently rewilded woods at Ken Hill, as well as having access onto miles of footpaths through the surrounding countryside available from the doorstep. Snettisham Beach is only a 5-minute car journey, whilst the beautiful beaches of the North Norfolk coast can be reached by car in under 15 minutes.

We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain.
Accommodation

Visitors are welcomed into the entrance lobby at the front of the building, where there are doors into the utility room and ground floor cloakroom, which also houses the plant room. The lobby opens into the superb kitchen, with a large central island serving as the main focal point. The kitchen includes an extensive collection of full-height fitted storage units, incorporating an integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer, along with a free-standing range cooker. There is additional storage in the island, which also has a solid oak counter top. The kitchen is open to the spacious dining room, which has a roof lantern, a feature panelled wall and a set of bifold doors which lead out to the terrace.
A pair of doors from the kitchen open into the well-proportioned sitting room, with a wood burning stove at its centre. From the sitting room there are doors into the versatile play room and to the ground floor guest bedroom, which enjoys the convenience of an en-suite shower room and has a pair of doors opening out to the seating area between the main house and annexe.
Upstairs there are four further bedrooms arranged around the landing, along with the family bathroom. The stunning master room features vaulted ceilings, air conditioning and an expanse of glazing with a Juliet balcony on the south-facing wall. The master room also enjoys the luxury of a beautifully appointed 4-piece en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and separate free-standing bath; as well as a separate dressing room with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three is another boutique room with a stylishly fitted en-suite shower room, whilst bedrooms four and five are double rooms served by the family bathroom.
The annexe

The annexe provides the ideal space for a single person or couple, whether as a visiting guest or on a more permanent basis. The ground floor is fully open-plan, offering space for lounge furniture alongside a dining table and the fitted kitchen. The kitchen comprises an extensive collection of grey gloss-fronted base and wall mounted units, incorporating an integrated oven, hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. On the ground floor there is also a well-appointed shower room. A glazed oak staircase rises up the bedroom on the first floor, which is a spacious double room with a vaulted ceiling. The bedroom includes an en-suite WC, extensive fitted storage, a trio of roof lights and an eye-catching arched window.
Outside

The property is approached onto a large private parking area in front of the main entrance, which can accommodate a large number of vehicles. The rear garden is fully enclosed and has been landscaped for ease of maintenance, to include an artificial lawn and a large paved terrace. The garden also houses a superb timber cabin, which would be a perfect home office, salon or studio, being equipped with electrical power, air conditioning and a water supply. There is a further seating area between the main house and annexe. The annexe also has a separate parking area with its own gated access into the garden.
Location

Snettisham is a popular village approximately 5 miles south of Hunstanton and 10 miles north of the historic market town of King's Lynn. The village is known for its sense of community, with various clubs, groups and an active programme of events around the churches and village hall. The types of property in the village comprise a broad mixture of period cottages, farmhouses and more modern properties, along with a wide range of amenities. Within a short stroll of this property there are a variety of shops (including a new Co-op, bistro, hairdresser's and pharmacy), the award-winning Rose and Crown public house, primary school, doctor's surgery, vet's practice and builder's merchants. The village church is a striking feature of the landscape, with a 175ft tower and spire, thought to be one of the tallest in Norfolk. Opposite the village hall there are playing fields and a cricket pitch, which also hosts regular car boot sales and a farmer's market. An annual Victorian Christmas Fayre is held in the village square. Other local attractions include the nearby Royal Sandringham Estate, Norfolk Lavender and farm shop at Heacham, several wildlife areas (including rspb reserves at Snettisham beach and Titchwell), the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, various golf courses, walks and sailing.
