Guests at The Old Sweet Shop are invited to enjoy a rare opportunity to delve into the rich history of this Grade II listed building, which dates back to the early 15th century. Once visited by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother during the town’s Silver Jubilee celebrations, the property offers a truly unique glimpse into the past. Despite its proud heritage, the street it sits on was once at risk of demolition to make way for wider roads and car parks, a fate it thankfully escaped.
Step inside, and you’re immediately welcomed by a striking timber-beamed interior that beautifully showcases the building’s historic charm. The generous lounge provides a perfect space to unwind, while the separate reading room doubles as a quiet retreat for reading, crafts, or work, complete with an office desk and a cosy armchair nestled beside a dual-sided wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining room offers a comfortable space for enjoying meals at home. However, if dining out is preferred, you’ll find a wide selection of cafes, pubs, and restaurants just a short stroll away.
Light and airy, the garden room features doors opening into an enclosed courtyard garden, creating an inviting spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks. Thoughtfully modernised throughout, the home blends historic character with modern-day comforts, ensuring a truly relaxing and comfortable retreat. Upstairs, the master bedroom is spacious and elegant, complete with a seating area and contemporary en-suite shower room. At the other end of the house, the charming single bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and its own en-suite, offering a cosy and private space.
The location is truly magical, right in the heart of King’s Lynn’s historic quarter. Step outside and you’re just moments from museums, theatres, shops, and a variety of eateries to suit all tastes and budgets. The mainline train station is also just a 10-minute walk, offering convenient access to nearby destinations. A short drive brings you to the stunning North Norfolk coastline, famous for its wide sandy beaches, traditional seaside towns, amusements, and protected nature reserves.
Beyond the historic attractions, King’s Lynn offers vibrant entertainment and leisure. Enjoy tree-lined parks dating back to the 18th century, catch a show at the Corn Exchange, or browse the Vancouver Quarter’s mix of high street and independent shops. Markets are held on Tuesdays and Saturdays, selling fresh local produce, clothing, and crafts. Nearby, you can visit the Sandringham Estate, the Royal Family’s countryside retreat, or spend time birdwatching at the RSPB Snettisham Reserve and Ken Hill Nature Reserve, both just 25 minutes away. Golfers will also find plenty of challenging courses in the area.
Please note: The first-floor features steep stairs and low beams, in keeping with the building’s historic character.
