3 bed terraced house for sale

St. Marys Close, Docking PE31

With its traditional red brick exterior and an address such as Number 6 St. Mary's Close, close up you might almost be forgiven for thinking this was a period property. However, step back and take in the incredibly tasteful and appropriate village scene that has been created around that new village pond and you will fully appreciate what a wonderful setting this home sits within.

Step inside and you will immediately see not only how well proportioned it is, but also how the main living and entertaining spaces flow together and yet can be easily separated from each other should you wish.

Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms, the larger having an en-suite shower room, and there is also a third single bedroom or cot room. The garden is west facing, private and secure and if you take the landscaped path down to the gate at the end, you are straight out to your adjoining garage. This is a modern garage so large enough to accommodate most contemporary vehicles comfortable. It also makes a great space for bicycles, kayaks, dinghies and any other equipment that will help you enjoy all that this magnificent part of Norfolk has to offer

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 new-build homes. One notable development is Four Miles, named for its proximity to Thornham and Brancaster, offering cottages, barns, and apartments designed to blend with the 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.
