Promenade, Cromer, Norfolk

DESCRIPTION Upper Bath House forms part of a beautiful redefining of an iconic building on the sea front in Cromer. Cromer's Bath House has sat proudly in prime position on the promenade, commanding breath-taking views over the pier and out to sea, since 1814.

This striking building was first opened as a reading room but gained greatest fame as a retreat for wealthy Victorians to 'take the waters' away from public gaze. Its chequered past has seen it converted into a private residence in 1836, then into a hotel in 1872 by James Chapman, who added the west wing as a billiard room. It remained a hotel through to the end of the 20th Century when it was once again converted into a single, residence and now finally re-invented to become four beautifully individual luxury homes.

Upper Bath House is the first floor apartment featuring stunning sea views from the living area, the kitchen dining area and the master bedroom. The funky open plan living, and dining space is to the front of the apartment, with the kitchen set off the main room but still part of the living space. This whole room is flooded with natural light from three floor to ceiling sash windows with uninterrupted sea views.

The apartment boasts two fantastic bedrooms, with the principal bedroom to the front of the property, again commanding stunning views over the sea from dual aspect windows, a stunning bay window with a window seat at the gable end of the property and a further sash window looking out to the sea. The beautiful en-suite has a stunning shower enclosure, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
The second bedroom to the rear of the apartment, features a sash window looking to the rear of the property and the adjacent family bathroom features a freestanding bath, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail.
 

OUTSIDE Upper Bath House is just 12 metres from the beach, located directly on the promenade. Being on the first floor the apartment benefits from the stunning views and total privacy. Homeowners can drive directly onto the promenade and can apply for parking permits from North Norfolk District council. There are parking spaces immediately adjacent to the house for permit holders.

The apartment is walking distance to all the local amenities. Including the cool new additions to the Cromer café scene; like Shoreline, the charming micro pub serving craft beers, cocktails and nibbles, Grey Seal Coffee shop serving fresh locally roasted coffee and Hatters Tea Room with their own brand loose leaf tea.
