Southgate Lane, Snettisham

This double-fronted character property, built in the late 1800s, offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience. Nestled in a private location, it is just a short stroll to the village centre, shops, and popular pubs, providing a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

The well-presented interior is thoughtfully designed to offer versatile ground floor reception space centred around a modern fitted kitchen and utility. Two of the reception rooms feature an open fire and wood burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests. A handy downstairs shower room is ideal for muddy paws from walks in the Kenhill Estate or local beach.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. An additional office space on this floor offers a quiet retreat for work or study. This space also provides access to the second floor, which features a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and ample storage area.

Outside, the property boasts a surprisingly spacious and mature south-facing garden. This serene outdoor space includes a large patio, perfect for al-fresco dining and summer gatherings. At the rear of the garden, off-street parking and access to a single garage add to the convenience of this charming home.

This property is a rare find, offering a harmonious blend of historic character and modern amenities in a prime coastal location. 

SNETTISHAM For a small, coastal village, Snettisham has a big reputation, not least as a gourmand's getaway. Add to this a wealth of pretty period properties and it's not surprising that many come for a weekend only to seek a more permanent place to stay.

With a primary school, GP surgery and dental practice, plus a central chemist and supermarket, plus a handy local builder's merchant for any renovations, the village is extremely well serviced. A small retail park, Poppyfields, and The Granary, which is a treasure trove of craft, antiques and collectibles, sit on the edge of the village and are fun to explore.

Resplendent St Mary's Church which sits on a hill behind the village centre was built in the 14th century and has an 172ft spire that was once used as a landmark for ships on The Wash, and described by architectural historian Pevsner as, "perhaps the most exciting decorated church in Norfolk'.

Diners are spoiled for choice as Snettisham is also home to The Old Bank, which was named The Good Food Guide Best Local Restaurant in 2019 and is also listed in the Michelin Guide. For coffee, brunch or an evening of wine, nibbles and jazz, try the sister business next door, The Old Store.

Snettisham is home to a RSPB nature reserve and Wild Ken Hill, a rewilding site using regenerative farming to return the land to its natural stage. Or up the adrenaline level at Snettisham Beach Sailing Club which offers paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing and dinghy sailing, alongside a vibrant social events calendar.

Whatever pace you enjoy, there can be few places as appealing as Snettisham to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
