A Spacious Detached Bungalow With Private Equestrian Facilities

 

Situated on the outskirts of this popular village and in a semi-rural location, this much improved bungalow has been updated over the years to provide a comfortable family home. Walpole Highway is an easy commute to the market towns of Wisbech and Kings Lynn with train services to London. The north Norfolk coast, Peterborough and Cambridge are around 40 minutes drive. In brief the accommodation comprises three bedrooms plus a study/bedroom, wet room and a separate WC, sitting room with open fireplace, large fitted kitchen dining room, conservatory, utility/2^nd kitchen, and rear lobby with door to integral single garage (annexe potential subject to planning permission). Outside the property sits well back off the road behind established front gardens with brick wall to the front boundary. A private driveway leads past the side of the bungalow to the rear where there is a parking/turning area, rear lawned garden and access to the garage. A gate leads to the equestrian facilities which include five block built stables, four timber pony stables, three internal stables, goat pens and useful timber storage barns. The land extends to either side and the rear of the property and is currently split to provide seven fenced paddocks. The vendors inform us there used to be a manege and the property was once a riding school.
