The kitchen is complemented by a suite of integral appliances, whilst set off the kitchen is a snug area with a vaulted ceiling and Velux skylights.

The first-floor features three balanced, double bedrooms with the two principal bedrooms enjoying wonderful, elevated coastal views. The bedrooms are supported by a spacious and well-appointed bathroom with roll-top bath and shower cubicle.

Thrums sits back on its plot to make the most of the epic coastal views. Gently rising from front to back the gardens enjoy uninterrupted vistas over some of North Norfolk's most treasured coastal habitats.

A spacious gravelled driveway and hard-standing provides ample off-road parking options. A pathway winds its way through the gardens and is flanked by shaped lawns and established shrub and flowering beds.

Steps rise gently to a raised and decked sun terrace which spans the entire frontage of the house and creates a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the views of a magical spot to entertain friends and family.
