Pentney is a picturesque village with a rich history dating back to William of Normandy’s time, as recorded in the Domesday Book.

The village harmoniously blends old-world charm with modern conveniences. Nearby are the village hall, church, and a play area, while riders from a nearby livery yard often traverse its lanes. Pentney offers a relaxed, rural lifestyle, complemented by essential amenities within a 15-minute drive, including shops at Narborough and Norfolk Woods, and a bar at Pentney Lakes. Just nine miles away lies King’s Lynn, situated along the River Ouse, known for its medieval architecture and vibrant trade history.
