Property description

The property is part of the Priory Cottages, a terrace of small houses in the only remaining wing of the Benedictine monastery. The cottage restoration started by the Trust in 1970 and the work completed in 1974 included the opening of the gateway, a major feature of the Priory Lane range.Proceed under the archway and to your right you find the entrance door to number 19 Priory Lane. On stepping inside you have the feeling of going back in time. You are greeted by a surprisingly high ceiling with a wealth of thick beams in the open-plan dining area cum kitchen. The very thick walls are made up of a mixture of brick, ashlar and carrstone, and once up the twisting stairs, and along a landing past the bedroom and bathroom, you find a wonderful vaulted ceiling with an abundance of exposed timbers stretching up above the main reception area. Below this is the archway through which you had originally ventured. A wooden ladder to the side of the brick chimney breast leads to a second bedroom area in the eaves of the roof. The Communal Gardens at the rear are a beautiful Cobbled and flagstone central courtyard that leaseholders share and who have lovingly enhanced with a variety and wealthy of flowers and perennials of British and exotic varieties, providing a heaven within the ancient environment of this splendid medieval building. \"The remains of a monastery Benedictine, in the most charming part of historic King's Lynn, house adorable dwellings, some might call wonky, full of beams both slender and chunky. Number nineteen spans over an arch - an intriguing entrance through which one must march - leading to a quiet haven between Priory Lane and St. Margaret's, so leafy and green.\"
