Sheringham

Striking the balance of period grandeur and stylish, modern living is a fine art, and this exceptional home has achieved exactly that whilst commanding a prime coastal location with the town centre and beach just a short stroll away.

No. 9 Alexandra Road sits proud within a most attractive and elegant terrace row that exudes Victorian splendour and prosperity. This fine example of late 18th Century architecture captures the time in history when the railway arrived in Sheringham, and the town suddenly became a fashionable holiday destination for the capital's wealthy visitors.

Fine coastal homes were created throughout the town to provide a base from which to enjoy the area's delights and parade one's wealth. This handsome home is a prime example of this with mellow red brick elevations and a classic bayed front window.

A meticulous and sympathetic restoration project has blessed this fine home with a subtle modernity whilst retaining and praising all its Victorian provenance. Their vision was to create a dream coastal home that not only championed their love of classic, Victorian ornamentation but could also showcase their passion for interior design that is heavily influenced by their lifetime of worldwide travel.

This balanced and refined fusion of old and new is something to be admired and when combined with the fact that you can stroll to both the vibrant town centre of Sheringham and the glorious sandy beach, this unique home delivers the perfect Norfolk lifestyle.

Set over three floors and beautifully balanced, the accommodation is exquisitely finished with an admirable fusion of on-trend interior design, period features, and modern luxury.

A traditional hallway with original tiled floor makes way for a delightful front living room with an elegant bay window, highly decorative fireplace with dressed side recesses, and a wood-burning stove.

Beyond the formal living room is a highly sociable dining space that features an ornate fireplace with wood-burner and direct access to the rear garden via double french doors.

A newly fitted shaker-style kitchen provides a stylish and timeless space supported by a suite of appliances and beyond is a guest WC.

The first floor features two principal double bedrooms, each beautifully presented, with fitted wardrobes and served by an exquisitely appointed bath and shower room.

Rising to the second floor, you will find a spacious, yet charming principal bedroom sat between the eaves of the building with a suited WC.

To the front of the property is a low-maintenance courtyard garden enclosed by a front wall and gate with attractive soft landscaping and a decorative tile pathway to the ornate front door.

The rear garden has also had a complete overhaul with low maintenance in mind with paved terracing, raised flower beds, and a delightful timber-framed summer house which is fitted with power and lighting and has flexible use. A pedestrian gate leads to a private, off-road parking space.

Located in arguably one of the most sought-after and coveted addresses in Sheringham, this elegant period home enjoys a peaceful environment whilst being just a stone's throw from Sheringham's vibrant high street, vast array of amenities, and of course, the glorious and invigorating beach and coastline. 

SHERINGHAM Sheringham's motto, 'The sea enriches and the pine adorns', sets the scene for all that this traditional seaside town encompasses. Historians believe a Viking warlord settled his tribe in the area c.900, and the area later became a farming and fishing community.

The arrival of the railway in the early 19th century saw the town's population surge and the landscape evolve with a delightfully eclectic range of architectural styles. Today, the station sits on the mainline rail link to Norwich and onwards to London or Cambridge - whichever track you follow, it's an unbeatable coastal commuter town to come home to.

At the heart of Sheringham is a thriving high street with a parade of independent shops peppered with plenty of tourist stops offering sugary treats and colourful postcards. Park at the top of the hill, next to the heritage North Norfolk Railway which runs steam and diesel trains to Holt in the summer months, and wind your way down to the seafront where a stunning Blue Flag pebble and sandy beach awaits for an indulgent hour spent stone-skimming.

Learn more about the relationship between sea and land at the town's museum, fondly known as The Mo, where retired lifeboats reflect the past and a showcase of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm presents the future of the coastline.

At the end of the high street stands the Sheringham Little Theatre, a real local treasure which attracts an illustrious cast of actors from the nationals and is renowned for a vibrant summer rep season and glorious Christmas panto. The Hub, in the theatre's foyer, is a fantastic community café and place to catch up on neighbourhood news.

Locals love to celebrate the town's heritage, with a week of Viking themed events in February, a shared Crab and Lobster Festival with Cromer in May and an all-out carnival in August.

After the bustle of town, step away from the crowds and head along the Norfolk Coastal path to the top of Beeston Bump, just 15 minutes out of town, and immerse yourself in nature as you survey stunning views over the North Sea, Sheringham and West Runton. Or for an even bigger adventure, head to Sheringham Park and take the Repton Walk to the Gazebo for 360° views across the surrounding countryside - what a wonderful town to call home.
