West Runton

Location Situated between the scenic National Trust woodland of Roman Camp and the stunning North Norfolk coastline, West Runton is a charming and sought-after village just 2 miles from the vibrant seaside town of Sheringham and 3 miles from Cromer.

This thriving coastal village offers a delightful blend of natural beauty and everyday convenience. Residents enjoy a range of local amenities including a well-stocked village shop with post office, tea room, popular pub & restaurant, the renowned Links Hotel and Golf Course, and a welcoming village church. West Runton's award-winning beach, home to the UK's largest chalk reef, is a haven for rock pooling and coastal exploration.

The area is well-connected, with a train station and a regular train and bus services along the A149 providing easy access to nearby towns and onward travel to Norwich. Sheringham, just a short distance away, boasts a wide array of facilities including schools for all ages, medical and dental practices, a library, theatre, leisure centre, Tesco supermarket, and a variety of independent shops and eateries 

Description Believed to have been constructed in the early 1900s, this charming thatched, detached cottage reflects the character of early British bungalows, a style quite distinct from the modern suburban examples we know today. These homes often featured wide verandas or porches, Arts & Crafts detailing, single-storey layouts with low-pitched roofs, and occasionally thatched roofs, complemented by generous gardens often in coastal locations, as is the case here.

This particular property has retained its period charm while incorporating modern comforts such as central heating and double glazing. The current owners have thoughtfully remodelled the home, extending the kitchen to over 30 feet to creating a fabulous space for relaxed breakfasts or informal dining, while the formal dining room remains perfect for special occasions it could easily serve as a study, home office, or additional bedroom. The sitting room is a welcoming space centred around a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, accompanied by two ground-floor double bedrooms and a shared shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bathroom complete with a separate shower.

Outside, the south-easterly garden is a true highlight, offering plenty of space to unwind. An insulated, heated log cabin provides an ideal home office or creative studio, and there's ample gravelled parking for convenience.
