3 bed terraced house for sale

Choseley, Docking, King's Lynn PE31

Set within a peaceful, elevated hamlet and surrounded by the beautiful North Norfolk countryside, Berewite is a perfectly presented three-bedroom period home, situated within an impressive converted barn.

Full of character and warmth, it is the sort of place that immediately feels like a country escape, yet one that is perfectly suited to everyday family life. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining rooms have been opened up to create a wonderfully sociable family space. The sitting room is a more relaxed retreat, with a log burner for cosy evenings. Floor-to-ceiling windows at either end flood the room with natural light and bring the surrounding countryside into view. The ground floor is complete with a convenient cloakroom.

Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, the principal enjoying its own en-suite bathroom, with the remaining bedrooms sharing a family bathroom with a bath and shower.

Outside, the sheltered and secure patio garden is a private little haven, with plenty of room for long summer lunches, barbecues and evenings spent outdoors. There is ample parking to the front, together with a separate garage, perfect for storing bicycles, paddle boards, kayaks or all the paraphernalia that comes with enjoying the North Norfolk coast and countryside.

Yet perhaps it is the setting that makes Berewite particularly special. Sitting high above the surrounding landscape, the hamlet enjoys an enviable sense of space and tranquillity, with wonderful countryside stretching away around it. Come evening, this is a place to pour a glass of something chilled, pull up a chair and watch the sun disappear slowly into the western sky, the perfect end to another day in North Norfolk.

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 modern homes. Four Miles is one example, named for its proximity to Thornham and Brancaster, with cottages, barns, and apartments designed to blend with the surrounding 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.
