3 bed detached house for sale

Wells Road, Walsingham NR22

Situated on a prominent, mature corner plot in the historic village of Walsingham this detached residence requires a full programme of refurbishment/extension or, potentially, an opportunity to demolish and replace the existing property (subject to the necessary permissions).

The side and rear gardens offer ample scope for extension, while the existing accommodation comprises entrance hall, 2 reception rooms, garden room, large kitchen/breakfast room, utility area and cloakroom with a galleried landing leading to the 3 upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. Outside, there is extensive driveway parking with a large attached garage and gardens and grounds extending to in excess of 0.6 acre (subject to survey).

Offered for sale with no onward chain, opportunities of this calibre and location are increasingly rare in today's north Norfolk market and we advise inspection/enquiries at your earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.

The Medieval village of Walsingham is a centre of pilgrimage, it has two main Shrines: The 14th Century Slipper Chapel is the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady and the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, while the Abbey grounds contain the ruins of the original Priory founded in 1153.

For a village of its size, Walsingham supports an amazing number of shops, mainly tourist/pilgrim shops but also a mini-supermarket, tea shops and 2 public houses. An old farmyard (owned by the Walsingham Estate) has been converted into a range of shops which boasts the award winning Farm Shop. The village also has a doctor's surgery and a primary school.

Linking Walsingham to the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea, some 4 miles away, is the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway. Walsingham is centrally located for Holt, Burnham Market, Wells-next-the-Sea and the market town of Fakenham and the Coastliner bus stop is just a short walk from the property.
