Outside
The property is best defined as three areas comprising the gardens, outbuildings and wider land. These combine to create a wonderful lifestyle opportunity across 4 acres. A further 7.75 acres is available by separate negotiation (please see site plan).
A sweeping drive, through electric panelled gates, leads along the edge of the gardens, to a parking area by the house and onwards to further parking by the barn and garaging. This joins up with a second entrance for larger vehicles if required. The gardens wrap round from east to west, with expanses of lawn allowing for a relative ease of maintenance. A paved terrace adjoins the house, all the way round the house from a breakfast terrace to the east, to a larger area for outside dining and entertaining opening to the south and west. The west side of the garden has a wildlife pond and gravelled landscaping.
The outbuildings are in keeping with the house, and are situated between the gardens and wider land. A substantial barn is currently configured with American style stabling in the main area, with six loose boxes, yet could easily be configured differently for specific requirements including the easy removal of the stable partitions to create one large space. A garage, feed room and first floor tack room complete this building. Next to this is a detached garage, with electric doors and gardeners WC.
The land then stretches away to the south of the barn, with post and railed paddocks opening out to a further set of paddocks on the edge of North Wootton. The land has been used for grazing, and in recent years simply mown to maintain. It is a fantastic dynamic to the property, allowing the next custodian to use for animals including horses, an area for children and family to enjoy, the creation of wild flower meadows with paths meandering through, or perhaps a spot of rewilding.
Location
The Old Gatehouse is located on the edge of North Wootton, off a quiet country lane that is a no through road, making for a peaceful and private setting. The village borders open countryside, and is served by a village store and post office, with other independent shops and a public house. The neighbouring village of Castle Rising, famous for its 12th century castle, with its keep being one of the finest surviving in the country, has a tea room and popular public house ‘The Black Horse’.
The local and historic market town of Kings Lynn is close by, and was once a major port and centre of trade, resulting in some fabulous and architecturally notable buildings. The town has a range of retail offerings, local amenities, supermarkets, golf club and other sports facilities, and a main line rail service to London Kings Cross, and to Cambridge.
The Norfolk coastline can be accessed to the north, about 10 miles away in Snettisham, via Royal Sandringham on the way.
