This expansive, 2,500 sq ft residence offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a lifestyle that beautifully balances rural tranquillity with modern sophistication.
Built in 1830 and thoughtfully extended in 2017, this property exudes character at every turn, from original fireplaces and exposed beams to carefully chosen modern touches including underfloor heating, an integrated wine fridge and sleek EV charging point.
More than just a house, King’s Lynn is a rare find for families who value space, style and substance. From generously proportioned rooms to a fantastic garden for entertaining, every area is crafted to offer something unique: the perfect balance of heritage and high-end functionality.
If you’re ready for weekends spent exploring country paths and unwinding in a home that feels both storied and perfectly tailored, you’re in the right place.
A classic welcome
Arriving at King’s Lynn, you’re greeted by a handsome stone façade that exudes history.
Set back from the country lane, a gravel driveway provides effortless parking for two vehicles, while a gated side area offers an additional private parking space and EV charging point for added convenience. You’ll also find a single garage here, great for storing bikes, weekend gear or setting up a compact home gym.
As you approach the smart front door, solid and elegant in a classic brick frame, you’ll feel an immediate sense of old-world charm infused with discreet modern touches.
Character and comfort
Original quarry tiles and built-in storage cabinetry add character and functionality to the entrance hall. Further along the inviting hallway, you’ll find a dedicated area that keeps coats and shoes neatly organised to ensure an uncluttered and polished first impression.
To your left, you’ll find the formal sitting room – a space of quiet elegance, filled with natural light from double-glazed windows adorned with bespoke shutters. At its heart is a log burner set within a beautifully crafted fireplace that adds a sense of warmth and tradition: perfect for cosy winter evenings.
Opposite, a flexible reception room, currently used as a playroom, features another log burner and bright atmosphere. We love how this space could easily transform into a vibrant family room or second sitting room.
Further down the hallway, a tucked away study provides a peaceful retreat. Boasting another fabulous original fireplace, framed by exposed brickwork, this space is full of charm and is ideal as a home office or reading room. A second door offers a discreet connection into the playroom.
Across from the study, a downstairs cloakroom is well positioned for guests. Styled with classic fixtures, it’s a practical yet elegant addition.
The heart of the home
Opening a charming wooden door with an original thumb latch intact, you’ll be welcomed into a showstopping kitchen.
Extended in 2017, this space is warmed by underfloor heating that creates a comfortable setting for everything from lively family breakfasts to intimate dinner parties. The AGA takes pride of place, adding a cosy, quintessentially British touch to this beautifully crafted kitchen.
A spacious breakfast bar invites relaxed gatherings, while gleaming quartz countertops and bespoke Parlour Farm cabinetry offer the highest level of craftsmanship. Every detail is designed for both beauty and function, from high-end Neff appliances, including integrated oven and hob, to the built-in wine fridge that’s always ready to serve up a perfectly chilled glass for guests.
Skylights flood the room with natural light, while in the evening, pendant lights cast a warm, inviting glow. Full width bifold doors open onto the garden, transforming the space into an entertainer’s dream where indoor and outdoor living flow as one.
To the side, you’ll find a generously appointed utility room. Here, handcrafted wooden cabinetry, a double butler sink, and ample space for a washer and dryer keep everything impeccably organised. A side door allows easy access to the garden and garage, perfect for muddy boots and paws.
A first floor sanctuary
Walking up the stairs from the hallway, you’ll arrive at a light, spacious landing with loft access large enough for future expansion.
Either side, you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms, each comfortably fitting a queen bed and boasting large windows with plush carpet underfoot. One room includes a beautiful original fireplace, keeping a touch of heritage to the interiors, while both feature built-in wardrobe storage.
Further down the landing lies a third bedroom, similar in size, offering flexibility for family or guests.
The family bathroom is both generous and beautifully appointed, featuring natural stone tiling and a large walk-in shower by Heritage. Imagine unwinding in the freestanding slipper bath at the end of a long day – it’s hard to beat the sense of calm and privacy this room offers.
At the end of the landing, towards the back of the property, you’ll find the impressive principal suite. This sanctuary boasts unique vaulted windows that enhance its sense of space and grandeur, characterful exposed beams, and a view over the garden that fills the room with soft, natural light.
Built-in double wardrobes offer ample storage, keeping the suite clutter-free, while a good sized ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower, WC and elegant finishes.
A garden for entertaining
From the kitchen’s bifold doors you’re drawn seamlessly into the property’s garden – a beautifully manicured space designed for families and hosting guests. The expansive lawn is immaculately kept, bordered by lush greenery that provides a natural sense of privacy. Multiple patios, laid with tasteful stone, create perfect settings for al fresco dinners, summer barbecues or evening sundowners with friends and neighbours.
A charming blue summer house sits halfway down the lawn, offering a flexible space that could serve as an outdoor office, artist’s studio or even a cosy retreat for cool autumn evenings.
The surrounds
Found in the heart of Oxfordshire, Stanford in the Vale offers an idyllic village setting with a true sense of community. With many sporting clubs, a local church, village shop and pub, you’ll have all the essentials you need.
Locals love The Horse & Jockey for classic British fare in a charming 16th century building, as well as the highly regarded Snooty Mehmaan.
Surrounded by the stunning Vale of White Horse, the village is laced with picturesque walking trails. Popular routes weave through Buckland Warren and around Frogmore Brook, offering countryside views that stretch to the Ridgeway.
For families, the local primary school has a fantastic reputation and for older students, nearby options include King Alfred’s Academy and several excellent private schools in Oxford.
The market town of Wantage is a short drive away, with boutique shops, cafes and local restaurants. And for those needing city access, the A420 and A34 put Oxford within easy reach, while train services from Didcot Parkway make London accessible in under an hour.
