4 bedroom detached house

As you drive through the gates of The Brambles and first catch sight of this magnificent home, complete with a covered veranda, you might mistake it for an old colonial house. While there's an impressive front door reserved for special guests and occasions, this is truly a home, meant to be entered through the boot room. It's the perfect place to kick off muddy boots or hang up wet coats, and the utility room next door-with its large sink-makes it ideal for cleaning up four-legged family members.

The home offers a formal dining room, perfect for holiday gatherings like Christmas and Easter, but for day-to-day living, the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/dining room. Here is where most of the socialising and entertaining naturally happens. At the south end of the house, a large sitting room provides a relaxing space, with a conservatory leading off it-currently the owners' favourite spot to sit and watch the abundance of birds and wildlife in the garden. The ground floor also features a home office and a convenient double bedroom, served by a nearby shower room across the hall.

Upstairs, there are four additional double bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room, while the remaining three share a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the property boasts ample gated parking for several vehicles, alongside a separate brick garage with a double-width door-perfect for housing a large SUV and plenty of outdoor equipment, like kayaks or bicycles. To the rear, a beautifully landscaped garden unfolds, from a patio to a lawn surrounded by fruit trees, a greenhouse, and vegetable beds.

The current owners have lovingly transformed The Brambles into a warm and inviting home. With a recently renovated kitchen and updated bathrooms, they've enhanced an already charming property. They've enjoyed the tranquillity of the home, along with its easy access to Brancaster and the coast, nearby shopping in Fakenham, and convenient transport links from King's Lynn. Now, it's ready for a new family to enjoy everything it has to offer.

BIRCHAM NEWTON

The village of Bircham lies on the border of the Sandringham Estate, about 7 miles from the north Norfolk coast and comprises of three parishes: Great Bircham, Bircham Tofts and Bircham Newton.

Great Bircham has a good farm shop with deli, a church, St Mary's and the Kings Head Hotel with award winning restaurant. There is also a fully restored windmill, considered to be the only working windmill in this part of the county, where visitors can climb five floors up to the fan stage and on windy days, can see the sails and milling machinery turning and admire the view. The mill also has a bakery, tea room, gift shop, small children's farm and cycle hire centre.

Bircham Newton has a small, private trout fishing lake and the Church of All Saints, one of the smallest in the county, with no porch, few windows and Victorian box pews. Nelson's daughter Horatia married Philip Ward, who was the rector and brought up a large family at Church Farm.

Bircham Tofts is recorded in the Domesday book as Stoftstan, referring to its stony soil and merged with Bircham Newton in 1719.

The closest train station is at King's Lynn providing direct rail links to Cambridge and London King's Cross.
