  • Long Acre Wereham | Kings Lynn | PE33 9AT an OPEN OUTLOOK
    Long Acre Wereham | Kings Lynn | PE33 9AT AN OPEN OUTLOOK A substantial, red brick house under a hipped roof, built in the seventies has never been on the market before as it has been a much cherished family home since its inception almost fifty years ago. It stands on an acre – as the name portrays - on the outskirts of the pretty village of Wereham in West Norfolk with wonderful, far reaching, rural views. • This superb sizable family home is offered to the market for the first time since its construction • Set back from the road sitting in a plot approaching 1 Acre (0.87) • Beautiful views across adjacent open Fields/Countryside • Flexible accommodation includes Home Office, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Kitchen & Utility • Five Bedrooms, Nursery/Study & Family Bathroom • Total Accommodation extends to 2026sq.ft • Energy Rating D With a military career taking the family to live in foreign places during the children’s formative years, it then became time for them to settle in this country so the land was purchased from the farmer in the late sixties, and the house designed by the father to suit their exact needs. It was built in 1971 with the six of them moving in two years later. Set well back from the road behind fencing, it is one of the last properties in the village as you rise up the roads gentle incline. The gateway is flanked by brick piers which opens onto a large gravel drive, evergreen hedging either side, and a Georgian style portico with Ionic columns is an impressive, welcoming entrance around the wide, solid, panelled front door.
