Fully Renovated Victorian Home in Cromer

Welcome to Astral House - a captivating five-bedroom coastal residence in the heart of Cromer, where heritage charm meets contemporary refinement. This exquisite Victorian property, originally built in 1890, has been sympathetically restored from top to bottom, blending elegant design with modern functionality to create a home of rare distinction. Set just five minutes from the beach, train station, and Cromer’s vibrant town centre, it offers not just a place to live, but a completely new way of life.

Inside, every room tells a story - from the regal reception with its striking marble fireplace and Libra chandelier, to the heart-of-the-home kitchen, meticulously designed with Shaker-style cabinetry, dark wood interiors blended with exposed brickwork, and a recessed Rangemaster triple oven. Natural light flows in through sash windows, French doors, and six skylights, creating a warm, open space ideal for both family living and entertaining. The flexible layout includes four reception rooms, a cinema lounge, three luxurious bathrooms, and cleverly positioned amenities like the upstairs laundry room - all finished to the highest standard, including Karndean floors, wool carpets, and elegant Italian brushed brass fixtures.

The top floor offers one of the most breath-taking moments of the home: a serene sea-facing lounge space with triple windows and a built-in bench - a place to sit back and watch the New Year fireworks or summer carnival parade from the comfort of your armchair. Bedrooms are generous throughout, and the attention to detail never falters, from the heritage-style column radiators to the claw-foot tubs and Lefroy Brooks bathroom hardware.

But it is not just inside where Astral House excels. The garden has been designed with true lifestyle in mind - from its tranquil raised planters and entertaining terraces to a truly stand-out feature: the bespoke garden office. Fully equipped with underfloor heating, lighting, and Wi-Fi, it doubles as the ideal post-beach retreat. Whether you’re working remotely or rinsing off sandy toes and salty wetsuits, this space is as practical as it is stylish - with surfboard hangers discreetly built into the curve of the roof. There is even an outdoor shower, dog-washing station, and a designated barbecue and pizza oven area, all perfect for embracing the active, outdoor life which Cromer so effortlessly invites.

Astral House has been lovingly shaped into a home which offers fulfilment in both heart and home. Its layout is as suited to the quiet moments as it is to celebrations, to everyday family life as it is to weekends of entertaining guests, and above all, to the pleasures of living so close to the sea. Whether you’re walking into town, exploring the nearby National Trust-owned Felbrigg Hall, or simply strolling to the beach for a swim at sunset, this is a lifestyle as much as it is a location.

For those seeking a coastal escape without compromise - vibrant, soulful, and finished with intent - Astral House is your rare opportunity to live the North Norfolk dream.

CROMER

With an elegant pier, Pavilion Theatre and grand Victorian villas, many with panoramic views over the pebble and sand beach, it’s easy to see why Cromer has perennial appeal to staycationers and permanent residents alike. Banksy recently visited the town on a headline-making ‘spraycation’ which focused the media’s attention on the east side of the Norfolk coast, and in recent years there has been a regular flow of relocaters from the capital and home counties looking for a life by the sea.

This, in turn, has triggered an ‘on the up’ momentum for the area and seen fabulous start-up businesses breathe new life into the streets surrounding the town centre. Spend a morning exploring the pretty boutiques and follow the lanes towards the seafront to pick up a Cromer crab – widely regarded as one of the best found in English waters, the eight-legged crustacean still provides a major source of income for the town’s fishermen and simply served with bread makes an unbeatable lunch or supper!

Or push the boat out with fish and chips from No 1 Cromer, Galton Blackiston’s award winning Cromer eatery perched on the clifftop. Treat yourself to a relaxing lunch at the Upstairs Restaurant where stunning sea views meet tasty seafood, or join the queue downstairs and enjoy your takeaway sitting on the wall as the seagulls soar above you for a fully immersive ‘beside the seaside’ experience. Follow the slope down from the clifftop to the beach and walk the shoreline or practise your hand at an afternoon skimming stones out to the horizon line.

With a good selection of schools including independent Beeston Hall School at nearby West Runton, it’s easy to see the appeal of this gorgeously gentrified town for young families as a place to put down roots. Come discover if it’s the place for you too…
