Description

Set within the historic and enchanting grounds of Old Hunstanton Hall, this attractive character cottage occupies a truly memorable position, combining heritage, privacy and an exceptional coastal lifestyle. Just a short walk from the heart of the village and the sandy shores of Old Hunstanton beach, the property presents an ideal opportunity for both full-time living and relaxed coastal escapes.

The accommodation is well balanced and filled with natural light throughout. The vaulted sitting room is a particular highlight, creating an immediate sense of space and atmosphere, enhanced by its impressive ceiling height and generous glazing. This inviting room provides a wonderful focal point for both everyday living and entertaining. A well-proportioned family kitchen sits at the heart of the home and offers excellent functionality, while retaining the character expected of a property of this nature.

There are three comfortable double bedrooms, all well served by a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for families, guests or home working.

Redevelopment Potential
Further potential is offered through existing planning permission The ground floor can be reconfigured to provide spacious, light, open-plan living, as shown on the Proposed Drawings (page reference to be confirmed). Externally, planning permission has also been approved to extend the driveway, construct bin stores, improve the footpath, and install a garden terrace/fences.

Outside, the cottage is complemented by a spacious attached garage and ample driveway parking. The wraparound garden extends across the front and side of the property and is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature plants, shrubs and trees that provide a high degree of privacy. Overall, this is a rare chance to acquire a charming home in an outstanding historic setting, moments from the coastline.

OLD HUNSTANTON
It’s easy to see why Old Hunstanton is so popular with holidaymakers and full time residents alike. Home to some of the finest properties in the county, there’s a wonderful mix of charming cottages, converted barns, and cool, contemporary homes.

Stroll along the top of the famous striped cliffs to take in the lighthouse and the ruins of St Edmunds chapel, built in the 13th century in memory of St Edmund who landed here in 855 to be crowned King of East Anglia.

Perhaps set off for a walk along the coastal path, and at the end of the day save your tired legs by getting the regular Coasthopper bus home.

Golfers are spoilt for choice, with the fantastic links course at Hunstanton Golf Club in the village, and Royal West Norfolk Golf Club’s championship course just a few miles away at Brancaster.

After a busy day, relax at The Lodge or the Ancient Mariner, the two great pubs within the village, or treat yourself at Michelin starred The Neptune. For daily provisions there’s an excellent village store and there’s also a craft centre, wonderful for browsing.

Just the other side of the pine trees, dunes and beach huts you’ll find the beautiful beach where days are spent playing on the golden sands and evenings are lit by incredible sunsets over the sea.
