" A unique opportunity to acquire a very prominent house in the centre of the highly sought after and unspoilt village of Great Massingham, within a few seconds walk of the Dabbling Duck pub, village centre and shop. The Old Stores played a large part in the history of the village and is now converted into a family house offering four bedrooms, open plan dining/sitting room, with kitchen and separate breakfast room. The property has gardens to the rear which are slightly detached from the main dwelling and offer a fantastic level of privacy and are walled to the majority. This superb secluded area is a significant feature to this property. The property benefits from oil fired central heating, replacement sealed unit sash windows to the majority and viewing comes highly recommended.  

GREAT MASSINGHAM Great Massingham is an attractive and quiet rural village between the busy market towns of King's Lynn and Fakenham. The village has a central green with duck ponds and wildlife, good local shops, and a school and excellent local walks. The old village pub, the Rose and Crown, closed many years ago, was bought by the council and sold to people committed to ensure that the village has a good pub. It has, and it's called the Dabbling Duck. The church, St Mary's, has a magnificent 13th century porch and fine 15th century painted glass. The Norfolk Coast with its unspoilt coastline is just 20 miles away.
