Shouldham

This charming and characterful cottage has been a well-cared for family home for the past 10 years. Harmoniously blending character and practicability - Teapot Cottage has been adored by our sellers.

Believed to be at least 200 years old, this superbly appointed home offers a modern way of living. The kitchen/dining room is a superb space where everyone gets drawn to. The country-style kitchen is fitted with oak worktops and red pantiles, whilst french doors open to the rear garden, seamlessly connecting to the outside space.

The sitting room to the front of the property is the perfect spot to retreat to. The inglenook style fireplace adds a cosy ambience, whilst the large windows allow natural light to fill the room- making the space feel bright and airy.

Moving to the upper level, the landing gives access to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms are good size doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke built-in wardrobes and large windows bathe the room in natural light.

The low maintenance front garden has been well-looked after, with a spacious lawn to enjoy, whilst the adjacent driveway leads to the garage, providing ample off road parking. The garage offers potential for conversion for those that need extra living space, subject to the necessary consents.

There is a patio area to the rear of the property, offering privacy and the ideal spot for dining alfresco or enjoying your morning coffee in the summer months. 

SHOULDHAM A thriving picturesque village, with a village green, playing field, and popular forestry commission warren providing excellent walking and riding areas. Situated approximately 2 miles off the A134 trunk road, Shouldham enjoys its own Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated Primary School, bowls and social club, 16th century pub and restaurant, post office, function hall and church. Further amenities, together with main line railway stations, can be found in Kings Lynn (9 miles) and Downham Market (6 miles). Closer rail links with London connections can be found in the neighbouring village of Watlington (4 miles).

Hourly buses run to King's Lynn, perched on the banks of the River Ouse, which has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.

King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House, was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there. With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England.

With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route. It's easy to see the appeal of this central location with a clutch of high street retailers and independent restaurants in the town's Vancouver Centre. The Majestic Cinema and King's Lynn Alive Corn Exchange are the place to catch a film or show, or check out what's on at St George's Guildhall, the UK's largest surviving medieval guildhall, today a vibrant arts centre.

A stunning cluster of Georgian architecture sits to the west of town and the streets surrounding The Walks, a Grade II listed, 17-hectare park where elegant folk once promenaded. Families still enjoy weekend walk or a Sunday concert in the park and don't miss The Red Mount, once a wayside stop for pilgrims headed to the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, to take in the incredible, elevated views.
