6 bed property for sale

Back Lane, West Winch, King's Lynn PE33

A simply stunning, and quite substantial, individual property boasting around 4,500 square feet of accommodation which has been renovated to an extremely high and enviable standard. Setback within its own stunning grounds that measure around 2 acres in total it also boasts various outbuildings and garages that include a magnificent timber frame building providing 1400 square feet of external offices and studio. Over the last 20 years, the property has been transformed into a successful family home, increasing the level of living accommodation whilst maintaining a traditional, elegant feel and much of its originality. Part of this accommodation includes an extremely spacious, self-contained annexe to the rear which provides more of a contemporary aspect to the property. The formal reception rooms are all positioned to the front of the house and all have high ceilings, ornate cornicing, Victorian style radiators, and tall casement windows that allow the natural levels of light to flood through. All of these windows have been sympathetically replaced throughout. Further to the rear, more practical and enjoyable rooms can be found that includes the main kitchen which has been replaced to a high specification design and finish including solid granite worksurfaces. This incredible standard and attention to detail also has been applied within the boot room and reception lobbies which also have the same style of storage built-in. More recreational space exists to the side where a garden room is positioned with wood burning stove adding a cosy feel under a high, vaulted ceiling. Upstairs, there are 5 bedrooms and the majority of these are particularly large. Serving these are 2 bathrooms, the finish of each has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The attic above has also been finished to become a further, fully heated, usable space. The house itself is barely visible from the Village Road that runs along its wide frontage. A long driveway sweeps down to the front and traditional lawns and recreational areas surround. There are many focal points including a large pond with seating areas surrounding and a traditional fountain that creates a circular front driveway. Around to the rear, the levels of parking available is quite exceptional and directly beyond the property, the peace and openness of the views across the local common land can really be admired. Its function as a real lifestyle home is also reinforced with the existence of the outdoor swimming pool which is used year-on-year. More recently, a pool house has been erected along with a 6 bay garage/coach house with rooms over which are waiting for the new purchasers to finish to their own style and function.

Little exists nearby that compares to this beautifully maintained, multi-functional home – internal viewing is highly, highly recommended.
