Chance to buy a period property in King's Lynn

Viking House is a handsome five-bedroom Georgian period town property in Lynn’s historic Friars area.

It has come on the market – for £500,000 – for the first time in many years creating a rare opportunity to buy one of the more interesting Georgian-style houses in the town.

Understood to have once been a ‘dame school’ before the general Education Act, the mid-terraced property is only a short distance from the river, quay and all the town centre amenities.

Sometime in the distant past the property acquired a former passageway to the right-hand side that was filled in creating the library and study areas to the ground floor and the dressing room and en-suite to the first floor, which slightly projects over the ground floor of the neighbour.

All of the rooms are large and elegant and the whole property has been well-maintained.

The main hall runs from the front to the back of the property with a curving staircase to the first floor.

To the right are the main reception rooms including sitting and drawing rooms, library and study and to the left the breakfast kitchen and ancillary rooms including a utility.

Up on the first floor there are good proportioned bedrooms including the very spacious principal master with dressing room and en-suite bathroom.

All principal rooms have large sash windows that let the light flood in, with the rear sash windows on the main house having recently been upgraded to double glazed units.

Features include fireplaces and exposed beams. The library has bespoke shelves and opens directly to the study.

The delightful private walled courtyard garden at the back is mostly laid to paving so it is easy to maintain.

There is some planting including some well-established shrubs, a small pond area and brick outhouse with power installed. A gate can also be found giving access directly onto Checker Street.

There is on street parking directly outside the house and in addition Viking House is offered including a garage in a block at nearby Spencer Court – quite a rarity in the town centre.
