Watlington

Since 2009, this home has cleverly demonstrated a cottage style of living, ideally positioned down a long private drive. Potton Homes are notoriously recognised for designing and creating beautiful bespoke dwellings for modern day living.

Acorn Cottage offers a truly magical welcome. The kitchen/dining room, which is located to the rear of the property has been a central hub for many years.

The kitchen is bright and spacious, with ample worksurface, and for special occasions the neighbouring dining room certainly entertains guests in comfort and style.

Acorn Cottage provides an ideal environment and facility to work from home, to then retire to a calm sitting room that boasts an inglenook fireplace - the perfect room where one can relax after a busy day.

Ascending to the upper level, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom is double in size, two having private en-suites. The principial bedroom also features a convenient built-in wardrobe.

Approached via a long drive, the outside space further compliments the property, with a useful double garage and ample parking space. Well established trees create a resilient ambience that envelops the home.

The garden wraps perfectly around the Acorn Cottage, with mature lawns, shrubs, high hedges and a patio area to further entertain. It is a spacious and versatile family home, where someone can move in straight away - this property is indeed a hidden gem. 

WATLINGTON A small village, Watlington is situated approximately 8 miles south of King's Lynn and close to the market town of Downham Market. The village has a mainline rail link to King's Lynn, Cambridge and London King's Cross with many local amenities including a doctors surgery, primary school, post office, village store, social club, public house and the Church of St Peter and St Paul.

Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn 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.

Originally named Bishop's Lynn, during the reign of Henry VIII the town was surrendered to the crown and took the name King's Lynn. During the 14th century, Lynn was England's most important port, dominated by the Hanseatic League. Although the growth of London later eroded the port's importance, ship-building and fishing became prominent industries, the latter of which is documented at True's Yard Museum.

With more than 400 listed buildings, two warehouses - Hanse House and Marriott's Warehouse - still stand in the centre of the town, along with King's Lynn Minster and Custom House. These have appeared as stars of the screen in numerous period dramas and it's not unusual to spot a camera crew and cast on location.

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. In 1845, there were at least ten pubs on this street alone, and although these have faded away a relatively new arrival is the WhataHoot distillery with its gin school and handmade spirits.
