SCULTHORPE
A scattered village, Sculthorpe has two fine pubs, ‘The Aviator’ on one side of the A148 and ‘Sculthorpe Mill’ on the other. Sculthorpe is ideally positioned for the North Norfolk Coast with its many attractions and golf courses. There’s also the Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve run by the Hawk and Owl Trust to reintroduce native birds to the area and to protect the natural environment. The village is very close to the busy market town of Fakenham with its supermarket and pedestrian shopping precinct, its Thursday Market and monthly Farmer’s Market. Fakenham also has a good sports centre. Coast or country? If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the sea, Fakenham is top of the list. While sandy beaches are just ten miles away, the market town is perfectly positioned halfway between King’s Lynn and Norwich with easy reach to Holt and Swaffham, making for an easy commute. Out of working hours, there’s plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor. Situated in the village of Sculthorpe, this home enjoys a prime position directly opposite Sculthorpe Mill. The surrounding countryside offers walks that stretch for miles, providing a variety of scenic routes to explore, including a footbridge crossing over the river.
