LOCAL PEOPLE RUSH TO SECURE A HOME IN POPULAR NORFOLK VILLAGE

The first release of refurbished properties for sale at Marham in Norfolk have been snapped up, with more than 30 local people, many of which are first time buyers, successfully putting in an offer on the two and three-bedroom homes

Homes at Field View, on the edge of the village of Marham start at just £123,000 and have been lightly refurbished by property company Annington so they are fresh, clean and ready to move into. With more properties to be released in the new year, there is still plenty of opportunity to own your own home here and make 2021 extra special.

Marham is home to RAF Marham, and as such has far more amenities than the average small village, despite its rural location. Residents have a GP surgery, dentist and a wide range of places to eat including Chinese, Italian and fish and chips, while further shops and facilities can be found a few miles west in the bustling town of Kings Lynn.

Louise Saunders, Sales and Marketing Manager at Annington, comments: “Marham is a unique place to live, surrounded by the beautiful natural countryside. These former MOD properties are a great opportunity for first time buyers to take their first step on the property ladder. The homes have been freshened up with brand new flooring throughout and new fencing to the rear gardens. It’s not surprising that they are selling extremely fast.”

Tony Oulds, Branch Manager at local selling agent William H Brown in Swaffham, adds: “There has been a huge amount of interest in these well priced homes, especially among first time buyers, with the price point offering a rare chance for families to move out of rented accommodation and into their own home without breaking the bank. With secure, fenced back gardens for children to play and private parking, it’s an ideal location to explore the local area from. These homes have so much to offer – and there’s the added bonus of being able to become part of a thriving village community with a good social life. We would certainly recommend an early viewing.”

One of the delights of moving to Marham is its surroundings. Marham Fen stretches for 60 acres and its woodlands and ponds are home to a wide range of birdlife, including rare yellowhammers and bullfinches.

The beautiful North Norfolk coast offers miles of sandy beaches to explore, while Kings Lynn has scenic walks along the Great Ouse river, cobbled backstreets and a traditional market on Tuesdays. Slightly further afield, Norwich has 152 pubs, numerous shops and restaurants not to mention 31 medieval churches and two cathedrals for those looking for a cultural hit.

Louise adds: “At Annington we are very keen to support service personnel to get on to the property ladder, so we offer a generous Service Discount for members of the Armed Forces, who will undoubtedly be attracted to life in Marham. In addition, all buyers who make use of Annington’s recommended legal and survey team will receive a £1,000 discount on their legal and survey fees.”
