King's Lynn is a historic market town, once part of the Hanseatic League, situated on the banks of the River Great Ouse in West Norfolk. The town offers a rich heritage with an array of listed, interesting properties throughout the centre, on the well known Tuesday & Saturday Market Places and South Quay, just around the corner from this property. The town well serves residents with a range of local amenities including independent and national retailers alongside many popular eateries and cafes. There are good transport links in and out of the area including mainline railway to London Kings Cross via Ely & Cambridge, A47 trunk road to nearby Norwich & Peterborough (both around 1 hour) along with A17 into Lincolnshire and A10 into Cambridgeshire. The West & North Norfolk coastline is within easy reach with its broad, sandy beaches passing by the Royal Sandringham Estate en route. 34 Bridge Street is a most interesting, Grade II Listed mid terrace property located on one of King's Lynns most historic streets and offers a rare opportunity which is seldom found on the open market. The property was acquired by the current architect family of owners back in the 1960's when derelict and was restored to form the property seen today which comprises of commercial use to the ground floor with residential upper floors. The accommodation on offer could suit those seeking a live/work premises or, with the benefit of the planning permission recently granted (Ref: 26/00198/F BCKLWN), be converted into a full residential property with generous level of ground floor accommodation and 24' family room. Historical Note: The property forms part of a terrace, most of which are now residential dwellings and is understood to date back to the 16th Century. The front façade is stuccoed with timber frame and masonry walls under a heavy beamed pitched roof with mostly slates and some tiles. On the second floor, illustrations found and understood to date back to the whaling fleets, which King's Lynn is well known for, have been framed on the walls and made a feature of. Mentioned in Pevsner North West & South Norfolk edition, it is stated that the properties were "scheduled for demolition in the 1960's but the houses were bought and (restored) converted by Desmond Waite (architect), a process which altered the appearance as little as possible". The property is well positioned, being within walking distance of the river, historic centre, shops and transport hubs. Bridge Street has also recently become part of King's Lynns residents parking zone, which has significantly benefitted the area by reducing vehicles parked.
