Harpley is a charming village situated between the towns of King's Lynn, Fakenham and Swaffham in North West Norfolk. A sought-after residential location, the area is popular for those seeking country living whilst still being within easy reach of local amenities. The village benefits from a local primary school, village hall and St Lawrence's Church with neighbouring Great Massingham further providing a convenience store, Post Office, café and surgery along with the vibrant Dabbling Duck pub and active tennis club. Originally understood to have been three individual properties, Flint Cottage is a quintessential "chocolate box" residence. Faced with an attractive vernacular flint façade, the property is offered to the market for the first time in many years and has been well enjoyed by Vendor. Deceptively spacious with a wealth of period features, the internal accommodation offers three reception rooms, a fitted traditional pine kitchen with breakfast room along with four bedrooms to the first floor. Externally, the nicely maintained, mature gardens are a particular highlight. Delightfully private and extending to circa 0.9 acres (stms), there are a range of established bushes, trees and shrubs with far reaching views over the adjacent rolling countryside through the trees. The front of the property is equally as private being set up from Back Street and screened by hedging. Mostly laid to lawn, there are manageable borders along with a superb specimen magnolia tree. Considered to have great potential, the property now offers a new occupier an excellent opportunity to modernised and tailor the accommodation to suit their own requirements.
