Egmere

Pink Cottage has been in our vendors ownership for some twelve years, they were in fact the first proud owner occupiers. Over this time they have witnessed all of what were originally Holkham Estate workers cottages, bought privately and transformed into spacious properties, sharing a real community, helping each other in terms of property maintenance and management.

When our vendors were looking to buy, their search was centred on the nearby coast, with two bedrooms being their maximum affordability. However, opening up their search to include the outlying villages they discovered the hamlet 'Egmere' where 'Pink Cottage' nestles off a country road. With three bedrooms, comfortably sleeping six people, ample parking and a very generous garden, it has provided a fantastic bonus for them when hosting extended family and friends on their frequent breaks away, just five minutes from Wells-Next-The-Sea.

The cottage has been beautifully modernised with its open plan kitchen and sitting room and the addition of a conservatory and ground floor shower room. Upstairs the three bedrooms are served by a further family bathroom. The outside space is generous and often shared with the local wildlife that includes, barn owls, deer and Housemartins. It has been known for an escapee peacock to put in an appearance too!

It is time to find a new custodian of this much loved, calm, peaceful and airy, memory making property, where viewing is highly recommended. 

EGMERE Egmere is a small rural hamlet, originally a medieval settlement, close to Wells-next-the-Sea and the pretty village of Walsingham.

Walsingham offers good local shopping including a vibrant farm shop, and has a popular restaurant, a good pub and a primary school. It is well known throughout the country as a religious centre with pilgrimages to the Anglian Shrine and Slipper Chapel at nearby Houghton St Giles.

Nearby is wonderful Wells! With its sandy beach and pretty candy-striped huts, it's easy to understand why this sleepy coastal town is a Mecca for day trippers and holiday makers, but there are plenty of reasons to make Wells-next-the-Sea your permanent home and explore this sweet spot forever.
There are plenty of ways to explore the waterways that surround the area. For a nautical adventure, jump aboard one of the Coastal Exploration Company's traditional wooden sailing boats and adventure hidden creeks, marshes and open sea. Or test your balance with a stand-up paddle boarding session with Barefoot SUP.

The lanes behind the harbour and surrounding the town have plenty of tucked-away fishermen's cottages which are highly sought after, as are apartments with sea views in the converted buildings overlooking the harbour. Head out of the town centre to discover plenty of spacious, grand houses along with fantastic new-build developments which are ideal for young families and downsizers alike. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.
