Church RoadOld Hunstanton, Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6JS

Park House is a charming 18th century home with later additions, within a village setting yet with an approach and surroundings that would befit a rural country house. The house stands well amongst the mature grounds and was formerly a Rectory to the 14th Century Church of St Marys, with the church in view from the east side of Park House. It is an excellent example of an edge of village home, that provides privacy and control of what’s around you, yet with the convenience of a well-served village, and indeed the coastline, on your doorstep.

The house has an elegance and sense of warmth, helped by the period detail and originality, and the natural light and views of the grounds from all points in the house. As with many former Rectories, there are areas of informal and formal living, with plenty of practical service rooms too.

The entrance hall is wide and welcoming, with yorkstone floors and tall ceilings, the latter a theme throughout the house. Three principal receptions are on the south side of the house, enjoying plenty of light. A refined dining room is conveniently placed next to the kitchen, with fireplace and lovely proportions. A more cosy study has a view of the church to the east, and gardens to the south, and is complete with woodburner and French doors out to the gardens. A delightful drawing room has comfortable grandeur, with open fire with attractive surround, parquet floor, a wide bay window and the triple aspect allowing in plenty of natural light. It is the perfect drawing room, as adept at hosting drinks parties as it is on a cosy winter evening around the fire. Adjoining the drawing room is a conservatory, west facing, creating a quiet and relaxing room to enjoy, particularly when the sun sets.

The kitchen, like so many, is a focal point for everyday life, again on a large scale and very practical, with fitted cabinetry, 4 oven Aga, gas hobs and electric ovens, together with a traditional north facing pantry. The room is spacious and hosts an informal dining table at the centre. The service rooms of the house include a rear entrance into a boot room, butler’s pantry with original cabinets, and utility/laundry. The house also has the benefit of a lift, from the ground conservatory to the first floor principal suite dressing room, making the house future proof.

The bedrooms of Park House are spread over the first and second floors. All five bedrooms on the first floor are spacious double rooms, each with their own built in wardrobes and garden views. Of particular note is the principal suite which spans the entire western elevation of the house, with a capacious bedroom with bay window and fireplace, a bath/ shower room, and a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and the lift. The second floor hosts two bedrooms, bathroom, and further bedroom/hobby room, with a further walk through room with fitted storage.

Please refer to the Agents Note section for further detail on the condition of the house.

Cottage and outbuildings
To the north of the house is a range of traditional chalkstone and brick outbuildings, including a former coach house and cottage.

The cottage is an excellent asset to the house, for guests, multigenerational living or perhaps an Airbnb. It requires renovation, and is not currently habitable, but has formerly been a comfortable home for tenants. It comprises a central kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The cottage has its own private garden. The former coach house provides garaging, stables and workshop, with pretty dovecote above, but could also be utilised in other ways to suit lifestyle requirements. Adjoining the walled garden is a further workshop, potting shed, greenhouse, storage room and open fronted garden storage.
