A four-bedroom home converted out of a former wartime sweet shop has come up for sale in Castle Acre, West Norfolk, for £600,000.

It is believed that in the 1940s, number 9, Bailey Street was a sweet shop, but it closed as a store in the late 1960s-1970s. It has been a home ever since but still retains its distinctive shop-style windows to the front.

Lee Shuardson, residential manager and divisional partner at Brown&Co in King’s Lynn, selling the property, says: “Brown&Co is delighted to offer this large, extensively refurbished period home for sale.

"Properties in Bailey Street are highly sought-after and rarely seen on the market and this property, a brief walk to the Bailey Gate and village centre, is an exceptional opportunity to buy in this historic village.”

Inside, the property features an elegant reception hallway with oak flooring which leads to a boot and utility room and access into the open-plan living accommodation, which has a wood burning stove and restored wooden block flooring.

Beyond this is the kitchen, which is also partially open-plan to the living space.

The property also has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The house has been extensively refurbished and offers beautiful interiors throughout. It was fully renovated in 2017 with great attention to detail and style, and has the benefit of parking, a detached barn and an incredible ‘secret’ patio terrace with an elevated view over the impressive earthworks of Castle Acre Castle.
