Mole Lodge is a spacious detached bungalow situated in an elevated position on the edge of the desirable North Norfolk coastal village of Stiffkey. The well laid out flexible living accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, study/dining room, utility room and an oak framed garden room.  There are 4 bedrooms (3 with their own en suites), and a large cloakroom with space for the installation of a bath/shower.  Bedrooms 3 and 4 (both en suite) have their own separate access to the front of the property suitable for a bed and breakfast business or annexe accommodation.  The property also has the benefit of oil-fired central heating, a wood burning stove in the sitting room and double glazing throughout.

Outside, Mole Lodge is approached over a driveway shared with just one other property. An extensive gravelled area provides parking for several vehicles/boats etc and leads to a brick built garage. There are mature private mainly south facing gardens with the grounds amounting to approximately 1/5 acre (subject to survey).

Stiffkey is a picturesque village, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, of predominantly pretty brick and flint cottages with the marshes leading down to the sea on one side and nestling in the valley next to the River Stiffkey to the other side. The coastal path is accessed off a small free car park at the end of Greenway where you can walk to Wells-next-the-Sea to the west and Morston to the east. Off the main road can be found the attractive Stiffkey Stores and Coffee Shop which is open 7 days a week in the summer and offers a Post Office counter, everyday groceries as well as a wide range of locally grown produce, homewares, gifts and wines. Close by is The Red Lion, a much celebrated traditional Norfolk pub serving good locally sourced food.

To the east is Morston where you can take a boat trip out to see the seals at Blakeney Point and treat yourself to a meal at the Michelin starred restaurant at Morston Hall. Just over a mile further on is Blakeney to the east whilst Wells-next-the-Sea is 3 miles to the west from Stiffkey with its beautiful sandy beach, dunes and colourful beach huts fringed by pinewoods.
