Description

Avondale House is steeped in family history and has been a cherished second home for many years. This grand seaside residence has provided the backdrop for countless summer holidays, festive gatherings, and moments by the sea.

Set in an enviable location with breathtaking sea views, the home stands just steps from the coastline, offering the perfect setting for both relaxed summer days and bracing winter walks along the shore.

Inside, there is an abundance of space with eight generous bedrooms and five bathrooms, comfortably accommodating family and guests. Three reception rooms offer flexibility, whether for formal entertaining, a games room, a quiet reading space, or a home office.

The house retains many traditional features, including high ceilings and period details, while offering new owners the opportunity to update and make it their own. Outside, the rear of the property is used for ample parking, and the front terrace provides a spot to enjoy the sunset over the coastline.

Beyond the home itself, Avondale House offers a fantastic lifestyle, with the beach on your doorstep, local shops and restaurants nearby, and excellent transport links.

Avondale House is a rare opportunity—full of history, character, and potential—ready for its next chapter.

HUNSTANTON
Who wouldn’t want a place by the sea? Hunstanton, a traditional, unspoilt coastal town, is perfect for a beach walk and a fish and chip supper. For residents, this Victorian gem offers even more.

Founded in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a Victorian Gothic bathing resort, Hunstanton thrived with the railway from King’s Lynn, becoming a top day-trip destination. Today, holidaymakers flock to Searles Leisure Resort, enjoy boat trips on the Wash Monster, fairground rides, and traditional arcades. The Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s for Lady Diana Spencer, hosts live performances, films, and seasonal pantos. Golf enthusiasts can play mini-golf, pitch & putt, and the renowned Links course in Old Hunstanton.

Facing west across The Wash, “Sunny Hunny” is famous for its sunsets. Summer evenings are perfect for watching the sun set from the green, beach, or Victorian squares. Impressive Victorian and Edwardian properties line these squares, alongside contemporary homes, apartments, and senior living accommodations. Education options include a primary and secondary school (Smithdon High, a Grade II listed building), and Glebe House School, a co-educational prep school. Amenities feature a GP surgery, post office, leisure pool, and gym at The Oasis, overlooking the sea.

Local shopping includes Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and a Lidl nearby in Heacham, along with a fantastic local greengrocer and award-winning deli. Dining options range from full English breakfasts to afternoon tea at Berni Beans and relaxing at wine bar Chives.

Hunstanton attracts young families, professionals, and retirees seeking a slower pace of life. Discover why this charming town is the perfect coastal retreat.

Our home in Hunstanton

On summer days the streets outside our double-fronted office flow with sandy toes in flip-flops, while the distant hum of children's laughter over ice cream and sticks of rock fills the air. Find us in a period building at the head of Hunstanton's high street - or Sunny Hunny, as it's fondly known by returning holiday-goers and locals alike.

A warm welcome

When the season changes, the warm glow of our beach-side branch invites you inside. One thing is for sure - the team will welcome you with an enthusiastic smile year-round.

Meet the team

Headed up by Michael Birkhead, our experienced team love their spot on this iconic stretch of coast and know every family home and seaside cottage in the surrounding villages.

Local life

'Hunny' is often considered the beginning of the Norfolk coast, which curves for miles around the east of England with long sandy beaches, big open skies and bustling seaside towns.
