A Grade II-listed house and shop with quaint country vibes in a north Norfolk village is up for sale.
The property, in Burnham Market, has a guide price of £1,350,000 and is described as “elegant” and in a “prime location” by Bedfords Estate Agents.
It is currently home to Whitehouse Books which is closing on January 7 after 30 years in business.
Adjacent to the shop, the property has a dining room, living room, kitchen and toilet downstairs.
Upstairs there are five spacious bedrooms with two bathrooms and one toilet.
Outside there is a luscious south-facing walled garden filled with tranquil greenery and a secret garden feeling.
The property features high ceilings and ornate fireplaces as well as a large reception room with a sweeping staircase.
It is attached to the much-loved Whitehouse Books, which will be closing its doors on January 7, and the shop space is included in the sale.
Whitehouse Books was originally opened by John and David Crombie but in 2007 the shop was taken over by Kate Bennett.
Ms Bennett said the bookshop, which is closing due to the sale of the property, had become a little hub for the community, with locals regularly popping in.
She said: "People regularly pop in and they say to me 'I hope you never close'.
"But now there will be a void in the village that will be difficult to fill."
Burnham Market was named this year among the UK's poshest places to live and one of the most beautiful villages in the UK.
