For Sale
"A substantial, attractive and detached white rendered house, and the only one of its type on this sought-after north Norfolk development . Arguably the jewel in the crown."
The Property
The White House is entered through an elegant stone portico and the large living room and L-shaped open plan kitchen/dining room are accessed off the grand central entrance hall.
The most important room of any house is, without doubt, the kitchen and about a third of the ground floor is given over to this hub of the family home. At its centre is the sociable island which doubles as a breakfast bar and there is ample space for a kitchen table for those cosy kitchen suppers. Reception rooms are accessed from the kitchen/dining room and could be used as a home office, snug/family room creating a wonderful and versatile space.
The third is the impressive living room, which is located at the other end of the house and is bathed in natural light due to its dual aspect. The bi-fold doors out to the rear garden create a sense of openness whilst seamlessly blending the indoors and out.
Take the staircase up to the first floor, where the four main double bedrooms lead off the central landing. The remaining two bedrooms are accessed via a separate staircase. The principal bedroom suite has fitted wardrobes as well as an en-suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. Two further bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms, whilst the final three are served by two further shower rooms.
Externally
Outside, there are four parking spaces that are in addition to the integrated 9.5m long garage so ample space for cars, bikes, kayaks or a boat. The south facing rear garden is perfectly proportioned for a house of this size.

Description
Avada Homes
Whilst Avada Homes has built its unrivalled reputation for creating outstanding and beautifully finished properties in north Norfolk over the last two decades, they are also held in equally high regard on the south coast, and in particular the Sandbanks area, where they have been responsible for creating a number of stunning ‘Super Homes.’
It is the experience of building such exclusive and individual homes that they have drawn upon with The White House. These are homes which care about you and your family as much as they do the landscape – with high energy efficiency and sustainability at their heart.
Freedom, space and time together are some of the most desired aspects of our lives today – and at Four Miles, that begins at home.
Local Information
Docking is one of Norfolk’s best hideaways, just four miles from the sea and a short drive from the market towns of Fakenham and Holt.
Dating back to Saxon times, Docking is one of Norfolk’s highest points at 272 feet and was once known as ‘Dry Docking’ due to its lack of drinking water. In the 18th century, a well was sunk, and residents paid a farthing per bucket until mains water was installed in 1936. During World War II, RAF Docking airfield operated nearby, and Docking Hall housed actors Richard Burton, Robert Hardy, and Warren Mitchell.
Today, Docking boasts a strong community with a thriving nursery and primary school, filling the streets with the sound of children playing. The village is well-serviced with a GP surgery, village store with Post Office, playing field, tennis court, bowling green, popular fish and chip shop, and The Railway Inn.
Buyers have a wide range of property options, including traditional brick and flint cottages, classic Georgian houses, and quality new-build homes. One notable development is Four Miles, named for its proximity to Thornham and Brancaster, offering cottages, barns, and apartments designed to blend with the countryside.
Docking residents can enjoy growing their own produce or visit the weekly farmer’s market at Ripper Memorial Hall. Held on Wednesday mornings, shoppers come from far afield to fill their baskets with fresh produce from local smallholders and delicacies from Norfolk artisan producers.
Offering the best of coast and country, it’s easy to see why Docking is such a sought-after spot.
