THE WHITE HOUSE In recent years, this fine, detached, period family house (circa 1870s) has undergone considerable updating and refurbishment throughout, having a well balanced blend of contemporary accommodation, without losing its charm and retaining its character features. The individual, spacious, well proportioned and presented accommodation is complimented by the large conservatory, that overlooks the delightful, attractive, established landscaped gardens to the rear of the house, which has a range of outbuildings including a double garage, boat store, workshop and garden store and there is also ample parking. There are pleasant open views overlooking the neighbouring large common land from the front aspect rooms of the property and it is convenient for Fakenhams extensive facilities with the renowned north Norfolk coast less than 10 miles away and the fine city of Norwich approximately 26 miles.
 

HEMPTON Hempton is a 10 minute stroll along the River Wensum away from Fakenham, a market town in central Norfolk—halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich. Fakenham has been voted the 7th best place to live in Britain by Country Life magazine. It's a market town in central Norfolk - halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich. It has a Thursday market that dates back to 1250 and a Farmers Market on the last Saturday of each month with great organic produce produced locally with real mud on it! There's also a Tesco and a range of shops in Miller's Walk. It's often called the Gateway to the North Norfolk Coast as it's well positioned for the coast and other local attractions like Pensthorpe Waterfowl Park and Fakenham Racecourse. Further away, but easy to get to, are Holkham Hall, Sandringham and the Thursford Collection of steam engines and funfair rides with its wonderful Christmas Spectacular Show - the largest of its kind in England - run by the brilliant John Cushing. There's also the quirky and unique Museum of Gas and Local History! There are plenty of pubs and restaurants as well! There's also the Gallows Sports Centre with golf, squash, tennis, archery, rifle shooting and bowls. Rail access is via King's Lynn (20 miles) or Norwich (25 miles). Norwich International Airport is rapidly becoming a major feeder airport for worldwide travel via Schiphol.
