"£450,000 to £475,000. Enchanting three bedroom Scandinavian-style lodge in exclusive gated lakeside community. Vaulted ceilings, lake views, private jetty, and wraparound terrace - all just minutes from King’s Lynn and the coast."
The Property
Tucked away in an exclusive gated lakeside community of just twelve distinctive homes, on the fringes of Pentney village, this enchanting Scandinavian-style timber lodge is much more than a home – it’s a way of life. Built as a celebration of craftsmanship and natural materials, this single-storey residence radiates warmth and character, inside and out.
From the moment you arrive, the home impresses with its striking façade, crisp gabled lines, and beautifully maintained timberwork. A wide gravel driveway bordered by classic post and rail fencing gives a wonderful sense of space and arrival, while the covered veranda at the front sets the tone for outdoor living. Here, mornings can be savoured with coffee in hand as the mist rolls off the water, and evenings unwound beneath the stars.
Step inside and the atmosphere is just as inviting. The entrance hall flows effortlessly into a generous open-plan living space, where vaulted ceilings and exposed beams frame a room designed for relaxation. The log-burner crackles in winter, while twin sets of french doors invite the outside in during summer – offering panoramic views across the lake and access to the wraparound terrace.
The kitchen and dining area are perfectly suited to entertaining, with ample space for hosting family and friends. Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility, with room to accommodate guests or create a peaceful home office overlooking the trees. The garage and storage areas are ideal for paddle boards, bikes, or even a kayak – ready for your next lakeside adventure.
Externally
The rear of the home truly embraces its surroundings, with uninterrupted views across Pentney’s serene waters. Step onto the private deck and you’ll find a small jetty complete with covered mooring – perfect for launching into the calm waters for a spot of paddle boarding. For those with a love of boating, the property also enjoys exclusive use of a personal boathouse on the adjoining Marina Lake, offering both convenience and added value to waterside living.
Pentney Lakes is a place to reconnect -with nature, with loved ones, and with the slower pace of life we all crave. Set among woodland and water, it’s a tranquil community where long walks, water sports, and evenings at the on-site bar become part of everyday living. And with only a short drive to the coast or historic King’s Lynn, it offers both seclusion and convenience.
Whether you’re seeking a permanent move, a weekend hideaway, or a unique investment, this is a home that lets you breathe deeply and live beautifully.
Key features
Description
Local Information
Pentney Lakes is a unique and tranquil retreat nestled in West Norfolk, centred around a series of scenic lakes and wooded trails. Originally developed as a private leisure site, it has grown into a peaceful community of lodges and holiday homes, offering an outdoor lifestyle that celebrates nature, relaxation, and recreation.
Life here is shaped by the lakes themselves – perfect for paddle-boarding, fishing, and kayaking – while surrounding trails provide space for dog walking, cycling, and off-road adventures. A friendly bar on-site fosters a sense of community, and the wide-open skies and rural setting make Pentney Lakes an ideal escape from the everyday.
Just a short stroll away is the historic village of Pentney, whose roots trace back to the Domesday Book. At its heart stands the impressive Gatehouse of Pentney Abbey, a remnant of its time as a medieval Augustinian Priory. The village also features a church, village hall, and a children’s play area, and it’s not uncommon to spot horses from the nearby livery yard passing through its quiet lanes.
Despite its peaceful atmosphere, Pentney Lakes is well connected. Everyday amenities can be found within a 15-minute drive at Narborough and Norfolk Woods Resort, while the nearby town of King’s Lynn – just nine miles away – offers a vibrant mix of shopping, dining, cultural attractions, and direct rail links to London King’s Cross in under two hours.
Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat or a longer-term rural base, Pentney Lakes blends outdoor adventure with historic charm and modern convenience.
