3 bed end terrace house for sale

Station Road, Docking, King's Lynn PE31

Bly Cottage is a beautifully presented end-of-terrace cottage in the popular village of Docking, offering a wonderfully characterful home arranged over three floors, with an exceptional kitchen extension, west-facing garden and off-street parking. Sold with no onward chain, it is a home that combines traditional cottage charm with beautifully considered modern living.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the superb rear kitchen extension. Immaculately appointed with a timeless Kitchens Etc. Kitchen, it is a wonderful space in which to cook, entertain and gather. Granite worktops sit atop a beautifully curved central island, while a large south-facing Velux window floods the room with natural light. Open plan to the dining area, the kitchen has a wonderfully sociable feel, with views and access towards the garden. A separate utility room adds further practicality.

The sitting room has a completely different character, with exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and a cosy atmosphere that makes it suited to the quiet evenings – an almost snug like feel. The combination of traditional features and immaculate presentation gives Bly Cottage a lovely sense of warmth and personality.

Accommodation is cleverly arranged over three floors, with one bedroom on each level. The first floor provides a generous bedroom alongside a well-appointed bathroom, while the second floor offers a further bedroom and bathroom. The top floor is dedicated to the third bedroom, creating a private and versatile space that could equally lend itself to guests, family or a home office.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight. Enjoying a highly desirable westerly aspect, it provides a lovely setting for afternoon and evening sunshine, with a combination of paved terrace and lawn creating space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing. Off-street parking is available to both the front and rear, a valuable feature for a cottage of this character.

Bly Cottage offers the best of both worlds: The charm and atmosphere expected of a traditional Norfolk cottage, combined with an exceptionally well-finished kitchen, practical modern additions and beautifully maintained outside space. With three bedrooms, off-street parking and no onward chain, this is a particularly appealing North Norfolk home, perfectly placed for enjoying village life and the wider Norfolk coast.

Docking
Docking is one of Norfolk’s best hideaways, just four miles from the sea and a short drive from the market towns of Fakenham and Holt.

Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk’s highest points at 272 feet and was once known as ‘Dry Docking’ due to its lack of drinking water. In the 18th century, a well was sunk, and residents paid a farthing per bucket until mains water was installed in 1936. During World War II, RAF Docking airfield operated nearby, and Docking Hall housed actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy, and Warren Mitchell.

Today, Docking boasts a strong community with a thriving nursery and primary school, filling the streets with the sound of children playing. The village is well-serviced with a gp surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court, bowling green, popular fish and chip shop, and The Railway Inn.

Buyers have a wide range of property options, including traditional brick and flint cottages, classic Georgian houses, and quality modern homes. Four Miles is one example, named for its proximity to Thornham and Brancaster, with cottages, barns, and apartments designed to blend with the surrounding countryside.

Docking residents can enjoy growing their own produce or visit the weekly farmer’s market at Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with fresh produce from local smallholders and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.

Offering the best of coast and country, it’s easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
