Description
Set just moments from the iconic clifftops of Hunstanton, 2 Hastings Drive is a home that warmly welcomes you in from the moment you arrive. A brick archway frames the front entrance, leading into a light and characterful hallway with rich parquet flooring underfoot - a hint of the thoughtful touches found throughout.
Inside, the home has been carefully extended to create a wonderful living space at the rear, where a vaulted ceiling adds drama and volume to the sitting room. This is a room made for every season - from the soft glow of the wood burner in winter to the wide-open doors leading to the garden on a sunny summer’s day. The kitchen is well-equipped and sociably arranged, with room for dining and direct access to the garden. Just off the dining area is a large utility room, as well as a tucked-away area ideal for storing garden tools and muddy boots.
Flexible living is a key part of the appeal here. A bay-fronted downstairs bedroom offers the option for single-level living, guest accommodation, or even a quiet reading room, with a downstairs WC conveniently close by. A second reception room features a cosy study nook, offering a practical and quiet space for working from home.
Upstairs, three comfortable double bedrooms await. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and a en-suite, while the other two bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the garden is a true highlight, generously sized, well-tended and full of vibrant planting. It’s a garden that has clearly been loved, with space for pottering, playing, or simply sitting back and enjoying the peace. Several sheds provide excellent storage, while the front driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles thanks to the smart brick weave finish.
This is a home with warmth in every sense - both inside and out - and offers a rare blend of space, character and convenience just a short stroll from the sea.
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.
