4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Guide Price £450,000 to £475,000.

Set back from the road behind a sweeping private driveway, The Firs is a generous detached residence nestled in the heart of the tranquil and popular village of Boughton.

This much-loved family home offers a rare opportunity to settle into a peaceful Norfolk lifestyle, surrounded by nature and community warmth, while also presenting a compelling blank canvas for modernisation or extension—subject to the necessary consents.

The home offers over 2,000 sq. ft. of internal space, currently arranged as four well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a ground-floor shower room and a primary bedroom with en-suite. A large dual-aspect sitting room with French doors opens onto the rear garden, flowing seamlessly into the formal dining room—a space just waiting to host family gatherings and summer evenings with friends.

The kitchen, fitted with ample units and an adjoining utility room, sits at the heart of the home. There’s scope here to create a spectacular open-plan space, should one desire. The adjoining double garage is integrated and accessible internally—ideal for conversion to additional living accommodation or a studio if desired (STPP).

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are light-filled and calm, with built-in wardrobes and pleasant views over the gardens. The family bathroom and en-suite retain their charm, offering functionality and further potential.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the home, beautifully laid to lawn with mature trees and shrub borders, giving a real sense of privacy and calm. The rear garden also hosts a substantial timber outbuilding—perfect for storage, a workshop, or creative retreat.

Boughton is a village known for its strong sense of community, natural beauty, and quiet charm. From duck pond strolls to friendly neighbours, this is a place to slow down and savour. The Firs has been in the same loving ownership since 1976—a testament to the lifestyle it affords.

If you’re seeking a home that offers immediate comfort with exciting potential, in a village that feels like a secret oasis, this is your moment.

BOUGHTON
Boughton, a celebrated village situated approximately 44.4 miles west of Norwich and 15.1 miles south-south-west of King’s Lynn, boasts a notable reputation in local competitions. It has consistently excelled in the Eastern Daily Press ‘Best Kept Village’ and ‘Pride in Norfolk’ contests, proudly showcasing its awards on the village sign near the pond.

Located north of the A134 route linking King’s Lynn to Colchester, Boughton falls under the district of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk for local governance. The nearest town, Downham Market, lies 7.3 miles to the east, with its railway station providing access to the Fen Line connecting King’s Lynn and Cambridge. Norwich International Airport serves as the nearest airport.

King’s Lynn, nestled along the banks of the River Ouse, has been a hub of trade and industry since medieval times. Its rich history is evident in the well-preserved buildings that grace the historic quarter. King Street, once known as ‘Stockfish Row’ due to its fish merchants, is renowned for its architectural splendor, with a listed building approximately every 26 feet. Sir John Betjeman hailed it as one of England’s finest walks.

To the west of town, a charming ensemble of Georgian architecture complements The Walks, a 17-hectare Grade II listed park where families still enjoy weekend strolls and Sunday concerts. Not to be missed is The Red Mount, a former pilgrim stop offering breathtaking elevated views of the surroundings and historical sites like the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
