Bridge Street, Stiffkey, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, NR23

Charming Grade II listed village cottage, with private garden and parking.

Description

Apple Cottage offers calm and peace amongst the bustling coastal scene of North Norfolk. Tucked away in a discreet end of the ever popular village of Stiffkey, with the all-important parking and private garden, Apple Cottage is a charming Grade II listed cottage that enjoys the character one would expect for a house of this age, together with neutral and stylish décor.

The pretty main elevation is a great welcome, with two entrances to choose from. The main entrance takes you into an initial staircase hall, and then off into the super comfortable sitting room with the impressive inglenook fireplace with mellow brickwork, and exposed ceiling beams. A dining room provides a further fireplace, with woodburner and panelling. The kitchen perfectly matches the house, with shaker units and neutral worktop, further panneling and a sink with a view of the garden.

The bedrooms are spread over the ground and first floor. The ground floor bedroom is a brilliant asset, hidden away at one end of the cottage and away from the main living space, and ideal for elderly relatives or guests, or anyone who cannot manage the stairs. The first floor hosts the principal bedroom, which offers the surprise of tall vaulted ceilings creating a great sense of space. A further bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor, with dormer windows looking out to the garden.

The latter is a fully enclosed area creating a tranquil outdoor space. A paved terrace adjoins the house, ideal for outside dining, entertaining or simply relaxing after a coastal walk or along the river valley and hills of the village. Lawns, herbaceous beds, shrubs and hedging frame the house, with useful gravelled parking.
