Weybourne

Located in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of Weybourne, Chapel Cottage is a handsome period home steeped in local history and brimming with character. The home proudly showcases its heritage through exposed beams, a beautiful dual-sided fireplace with a log burner and open hearth, and a delightful feature fireplace upstairs. The rear elevation, a striking blend of brick and flint, offers an authentic nod to North Norfolk’s architectural tradition. While the property offers a wonderfully atmospheric setting, there remains scope for sympathetic updating to truly make the most of its generous proportions and charming features.

Perfectly placed with a terrific view of All Saints Church, the cottage enjoys an enviable location within easy reach of the beach via Beach Lane, as well as Weybourne’s much-loved village shop and deli, and the award-winning Ship Inn that serves fantastic food, local beers and a warm welcome. Whether you’re warming yourself by the fire after a coastal walk or heading out for a pint of local ale, everything you need is close to hand. The ground floor features a large sitting room ideal for family gatherings, while upstairs offers four bedrooms and a study, providing ample space for both guests and work-from-home living. The layout is further enhanced by the presence of two staircases, adding flexibility and character to the home’s flow.

Chapel Cottage has been a treasured part of one family’s story since 1968, originally chosen for its proximity to relatives and its strong ties to the Norfolk coast. For the past two decades, the home has been let to long-term tenants who cared for it deeply and appreciated its character and setting every bit as much as its owners. Now, with the passage of time, the cottage awaits new hands to refresh and restore its charm, offering an exciting opportunity to reimagine this much-loved home in one of North Norfolk’s most desired coastal communities.

WEYBOURNE
Just three miles west of Sheringham, Weybourne is familiar to many as a stop on The Poppy Line steam railway, which is a magnificent way to arrive at this unspoilt coastal village. You might spot pretty Weybourne Windmill as you ride the line, which local legend says once signalled to smugglers with the turn of its sails whether the coast was clear to land.

The mill was later home to Mr and Mrs Dodds who were arrested as spies during World War II, after police spotted the couple using the windmill to signal out to sea and discovered a radio transmitter. East Anglia’s proximity to Europe meant it played a key role in the war effort and a secret World War II military site is to the west of the village, Weybourne Camp, which was visited by Churchill is now home to the Muckleburgh Collection, one of the UK’s largest privately owned displays of guns and military vehicles.

Following Station Road, turn into Church Street where the medieval All Saints Church sits, and behind it Weybourne Priory, once home to Augustine monks. Further along is The Ship Inn, a traditional village pub which has been serving locals since the 1800s. Enjoy one of its wide selection of local ales and artisan gins as you enjoy seafood freshly caught just footsteps away. If you follow Beach Lane down to the coastline, you might see the boats which fish the waters for their catch.

Take the coastal path west towards pretty Cley and Salthouse Marshes or head east back to Sheringham. Surrounded by fields, woodland and heathland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its village shop, tea room, many traditional cottages and period homes this is a wonderful place to call home.
