Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in King's Lynn, PE30 :
A riverside Victorian Mansion with panoramic waterside views of the River Great Ouse, located in King's Lynn historic quarter, offers two reception rooms, six bedrooms, observation room, conservatory, double story separate couch house, off-street parking and quayside mooring.The approach can be either down Purfleet Quay (along the quayside by the Customs House) or through an archway from King Street which passes under a Georgian merchant's house. Both entrances are suitable for vehicles, the latter giving access to the house's garage just inside a large solid timber gate. Of course the alternative is to arrive by boat on an incoming tide, with the house having its own mooring rights, which is how the owner's father first encountered the property. Once inside the small but attractive garden it is like being in a little verdant oasis with the most fabulous views of the river as it widens to open out into the estuary and The Wash. The house proudly stands with its huge bay windows overlooking the river and years ago would have been witness to many a vessel carrying cargo delivering to one of the warehouses along the river frontage. The back of the house receives morning sun and during the course of the day the garden and the side benefit afternoon sun, with the front being bathed in wonderful evening light. The majority of the windows are extremely large, good quality Victorian sash windows.At the back, the property has a lean-to greenhouse capturing plenty of sunshine, which was originally added in 1978 but in 2008 was completely rebuilt by a specialist firm in Holt. In the opposite corner of the plot is a separate outbuilding used as a garage, thought to have once been a coach house. This also incorporates a small workshop-come-garden shed, and the open-plan floor upstairs the previous owners rented out as an artist's studio. Superb River Views:Venturing into the house itself you find well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings, featuring wonderful original deep skirtings and cornicing, picture rails, and panelled doors. The main downstairs reception room is dual aspect so sunny virtually all day, the side window with casement panelling, and the big bay at the front boasting a fabulous view across the river. There is a good feeling of space and solidity throughout the house. Climbing up to the second floor with another airy landing and where the rooms occupy some of the roof space with dormer windows, every bedroom and even the bathroom are a very good size, and are lovely and light with superb river views. Scope for Development: There is plenty of scope here for anyone wanting to refurbish and modernise but retain the wonderful original features and the house's character and charm. The kitchen, with its big bay window and Rayburn in the chimney breast, could easily be opened up into a fabulous substantial south-facing space, particularly as the property is not listed, or could be moved to the front to enjoy the river views.\"Ouse House sits on Purfleet Quay where the River Ouse meets the sea - in fact The Wash is its name, a body of water of East Anglian fame. This hidden treasure has given its owners unfathomable pleasure; approach by boat if you wish, on an incoming tide, then appreciate the lovely space inside, but best of all behind its sea wall are huge windows affording glorious views - about this property one must enthuse.\"
