Originally built around 1670 for Sir John Turner and featuring a façade from around 1750, 1 King Street has a storied past. Adjacent to the Custom House, this prominent building has served various businesses over the years, including an estate agency and, more recently, an accountancy firm. Now, due to a business restructure, this magnificent property is available on the open market.
Over the past few years, the property has been fully modernised and re-purposed - all whilst retaining its historic charm. Upon entering through the original Georgian front door, you are greeted by an elegant reception hall featuring a curved staircase, original panelling, and a curved door, setting a tone of sophistication and class.
Currently arranged as office spaces over three floors, the building has the potential to become a stunning four bedroom residence, subject to the relevant consents.
This Georgian house, in a prominent position in King's Lynn, has been sympathetically modernised throughout to provide a contemporary and functional working environment. It is offered for sale in pristine condition and with no upward chain.
KING'S LYNN Perched on the banks of the River Ouse, King's Lynn has been a centre of trade and industry since the Middle Ages, and its rich history is reflected in the many beautiful buildings which still line the historic quarter.
Originally named Bishop's Lynn, during the reign of Henry VIII the town was surrendered to the crown and took the name King's Lynn. During the 14th century, Lynn was England's most important port, dominated by the Hanseatic League. Although the growth of London later eroded the port's importance, ship-building and fishing became prominent industries, the latter of which is documented at True's Yard Museum.
With more than 400 listed buildings, two warehouses – Hanse House and Marriott's Warehouse – still stand in the centre of the town, along with King's Lynn Minster and Custom House. These have appeared as stars of the screen in numerous period dramas and it's not unusual to spot a camera crew and cast on location.
King Street, which runs from Tuesday Market Place to the Custom House was once known as 'Stockfish Row' for the number of fish merchants that lived there, With a listed building every 26ft, Sir John Betjeman described it as one of the finest walks in England. In 1845, there were at least ten pubs on this street alone, and although these have faded away a relatively new arrival is the WhataHoot distillery with its gin school and handmade spirits.
With Cambridge, Peterborough and Norwich all within an hour's drive and a direct rail line into London King's Cross arriving in the capital in just 1 hour 40 minutes, King's Lynn continues to attract a growing number of professionals seeking an easy commuter route.
