Necton

This delightful link-detached home is situated on the periphery of the popular and well-served village of Necton which enjoys a host of amenities locally. Having been a much loved family home for in excess of 40 years, the property has been well cared for and is found in great condition. However, for those looking to put their own stamp on a property, this might just be the perfect blank canvas. Aided by extensive front and rear gardens, the property could be extended, subject to the necessary consents of course.

The current accommodation extends to approximately 1,300 sq. ft. and incorporates; an entrance hall, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and a spacious sitting room. Upstairs, there are three excellently proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom arranged around the first floor landing.

Additionally, the adjoining garage is linked to the house by a covered passage which doubles as a convenient boot room. There is a utility room/office to the rear of the garage.

Externally, the property enjoys an elevated position with ample driveway parking to the front and a good size lawn which could easily be utilised to create additional parking should one require. To the rear, a large patio wraps around to the rear of the property with steps leading up to a further raised patio which flows onto the lawn. Borders with shrubs and a garden shed further complement. 

NECTON Sat between Swaffham and Dereham, just off the A47 main route between King's Lynn and Norwich, Necton offers the best of both traditional, rural living in the heart of the Brecklands along with easy access to every point of the county compass. A commuter's idyllic hideaway definitely, but with Thetford Forest just 30 minutes away, there's plenty of adventuring to be had for those who love to explore the great outdoors - load up the bikes to enjoy the cool of the forest trails on a hot summer's day, challenge yourselves on the high wires at Go Ape, or simply unpack a picnic under the towering trees and reconnect with nature.

Historically, Necton appears in the Domesday Book as Nechetuna, meaning 'town or settlement by a neck of land' as it sits at the foot of a ridge, and Grade I listed All Saints' church has a vast hammer beam and arch braced roof with carved angels which is a fabulous place to sit and contemplate - the Countess of Warwick is said to be buried in the churchyard.

Follow Tuns Road a little further and turn into Mill Street which once was a centre of industry when a five-storey windmill ground flour from crops grown in surrounding farmland. By 1970, the once towering building had been converted into a single-storey residence with a flat roof and this has been a shop through the decades. Enjoy a glass and a home cooked meal at the local pub, the appropriately named The Windmill Inn. Looking to the future, just outside Necton a new sub-station will harness energy from off-shore wind farms on the east coast, once again putting this thriving village community on the map.
