Gedney is a small village just off the A17, convenient for accessing the small but busy Market Town of Long Sutton which has a good range of amenities including Co-Op Store/Post Office, Tesco One Stop, Boots, Health Centre, Library, Ironmongers, Electrical store, Dentists, Hairdressers and various eateries. The larger towns of Kings Lynn and Spalding are both approximately 13 miles away and have ongoing coach and rail links direct to London and the North. The North Norfolk coast is just a 45-minute drive. The smaller nearby Town of Sutton Bridge also offers a challenging Golf Course along with the Sir Peter Scott Walk.
Summary
Internally, downstairs the property boasts an entrance lobby in which you can hang your coat and kick off your shoes, before going through to the grand hall with its central staircase being the impressive focal point. Off the hall is the living room with an impressive fireplace housing the log burner being the main attraction, with doors opening out onto the platform providing opportunity to flow outside. Along the inner hall is the utility room, which provides space for contemporary appliances, and a convenient cloakroom with a traditional high-level WC. The dual-aspect dining room with its decorative fireplace provides space for all the family to gather around the table, and from there you can wander through to the garden room which has bi-fold doors opening onto the platform; a perfect place for evening drinks or perhaps enjoying a peaceful book in the day. The contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and a central island ensures meal preparation is a breeze and can be social too.
Moving upstairs, off the galleried landing, the master bedroom boasts dual-aspect windows and has a modern en-suite shower room providing a private space in which to recharge at the end of the day. The main bathroom offers a super-sized bath in which you can soak until your hearts content, with the granite basin adding an extra touch of class.

If you're looking for somewhere that offers the possibility of having a private space for visiting guests, or perhaps to bring multiple generations of your family all to one place, then the exceptionally spacious 2-bedroom lodge should appeal. The lodge externally offers a raised deck with sloped access and outside lighting. Internally, it boasts a bright-and-airy open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, with integrated oven, microwave and 5-burner hob as well as a freestanding fridge-freezer. The master bedroom provides ample storage in its walk-in wardrobe, and benefits from a private en-suite shower room all to itself.
