St Lawrence House

This gorgeous home sits conveniently close to Harpley’s pretty 14th-century church and charming country pub. Go for a peaceful stroll at Castle Rising (8.5 miles), a beautiful ruined medieval fortification that dates back to 1138, or head to Sandringham (7 miles) and have a look around the Queen’s favourite country retreat. Get the gang together for a traditional day out at the classic seaside resort of Hunstanton (15.5 miles), where you can see its famous striped cliffs and enjoy a stroll along the Victorian promenade garden. Alternatively, take the kids to meet the deer, lambs and ponies at Snettisham Park (8.5 miles), or take the grownups to King’s Lynn for gin-tasting at its award-winning distillery.

Step inside and make yourself at home in the lovely sitting room, where you’ll find plenty of comfortable seating and a decorative fireplace. Doors from the sitting room open into a study where you can spend some quiet time in an armchair in front of the TV. When it’s time for dinner, head to the kitchen and you’ll find everything you need to cook up a storm – an electric four-oven Aga, a five-ring hob and griddle, large central island, electric built-in oven, dishwasher and integrated larder fridge. There’s also a handy utility room with a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dryer. When it’s time to eat, enjoy an informal meal in the light and bright garden room, which features a lantern roof. Everyone can relax in front of the room’s Smart TV after dinner. Or, if you’re celebrating, get the whole gang together for a special dinner in the dining hall. The table in here sits ten and there’s a lovely open fireplace, so the ambience is always cosy. A family bedroom with a double bed and a single bed is on this level and a cloakroom WC rounds off the ground-floor layout. Head upstairs and you’ll be greeted by a lovely galleried landing with comfortable seating and an impressive, vaulted ceiling. Here you’ll find three lovely bedrooms – two king-size with en-suite bathrooms and one king-size with access to the family bathroom, which has a bath and hand-held shower attachment and WC. The en-suites comprise a bath with shower attachment, a separate shower and WC; and a shower and WC.

To the rear of the property, you’ll find a wonderful, enclosed garden with a sun terrace. Pull up a chair at the table and pour yourself a glass of something cool and crisp while the kids run off some steam in the garden. Or take a few steps to the raised lawn and you’ll find a sweet bench. To the front of the house, there is a second terrace with a built-in brick BBQ area – making al fresco dining a breeze. There is parking on the drive for four cars, as well as an additional parking space at the back of the property.
