Brancaster

Set within a former local landmark hotel, this property could make the ideal 'lock up and leave' holiday home, situated just moments from the coastal path, the beach and the village pub.

Quietly positioned at the rear of the building and entered on the ground floor, the principal living and entertaining space is on the first floor. There is a large reception room with central electric stove for cosy nights in, and a large west facing window perfectly positioned to watch the sun go down. Adjoining this room is the kitchen/dining room with a breakfast bar as well as ample space for a dining table, and a retro serving hatch through to the reception room. This room also has a south facing window, which gives this room an abundance of natural light as well as lovely views over the village rooftops.

Also on this floor there are two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and the other having a separate shower room and WC beside it. Stairs lead up to the second floor, which is entirely given over to a substantial, open-plan principal bedroom suite with a free-standing bath, shower cubicle, and views of the church.

Dormy House has substantial and beautifully maintained communal gardens, as well as private off road parking for one car.

Built in 1893 by a wealthy local farmer, in order to satisfy the accommodation needs for golfers playing at the increasingly popular Royal West Norfolk Golf Club, Dormy House is a grand Victorian building with matching proportions within.

Extending to approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of living space, this maisonette is bigger than most. It has been the perfect peaceful holiday home from home, as well as a successful and popular holiday let and could continue as both or either. 

BRANCASTER Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's easy to see why Brancaster is one of the most sought after villages on the north Norfolk coast with its heritage coastline and fine sandy beaches.

It's a lively village all year round, popular for sailing and watersports, and with a thriving fishing community. Justly famous for its mussels, seafood from Brancaster can be found in many of the local shops and restaurants, as well as much further afield. The village has a very good public house, The Ship, and there is also a village hall, a shop and a club, and for its young residents, a primary school and play area. The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at Brancaster with its fine links course which overlooks the stunning, sandy beach.

Brancaster Beach is home to the shipwreck of the SS Vina, visible from the coast. Built in 1894 she spent her working life travelling the Baltic Trade routes before she was requisitioned for the war effort in 1940, when she was used as target practice by the RAF prior to the Normandy landing. On the outskirts of the village is the site of a Roman fort, Branodunum, one of 11 forts built along the south and east coasts to control shipping and trade in the 3rd century. Nearby Barrow Common is also wonderful to explore, with superb walks, a diverse range of plants and wildlife, and fantastic elevated views of the coast.

Burnham Market is about 4 miles away with its wide range of interesting shops, boutiques and restaurants, and for supermarkets and other amenities, Hunstanton and Wells-next the-Sea are both within 20 minutes' drive. For when you don't want to drive, the regular Coastliner bus will take you to King's Lynn in the west, and along the coast eastwards to Wells-next-the-Sea, perfect for a day of exploring!
