Description

Located in one of Wells-next-the-Sea’s most sought-after settings, Flat Four, Mounteagle offers a beautifully choreographed blend of period charm, contemporary style, and coastal elegance - all set against the tranquil backdrop of The Buttlands, the town’s historic oak-lined green.

Approached via an elegant and welcoming entrance hall, with its handsome tessellated floor and sweeping oak staircase, this exquisite first-floor apartment immediately sets the tone for refined coastal living.

To the front, a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area enjoys a superb west-facing bay window that perfectly frames the leafy views across The Buttlands. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, this is a wonderfully sociable space, equally suited to relaxed family living or entertaining friends after a day at the beach. From the living room, a door leads out onto a large south-facing roof terrace, open to the west and walled for complete privacy. Here, you can soak up the sunshine with morning coffee or unwind with an evening gin and tonic as the sun sets over the rooftops of this charming coastal town.

To the rear are two generous double bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom served by a stylish shower room. Throughout, the apartment beautifully balances original period features — such as fireplaces, exposed floorboards, and classic panelled doors — with sleek modern finishes. The result is a home that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Perfect as a permanent residence, weekend retreat, or lock-up-and-leave coastal escape, Flat Four is just a short stroll from Wells’ array of independent shops, cafés, and renowned pubs and restaurants, as well as its iconic beach and colourful beach huts.

A property of charm, light, and lifestyle, Flat Four, Mounteagle captures the very essence of Wells-next the-Sea living.

WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA
Wonderful Wells-next-the-Sea beckons with its sandy beach and charming candy-striped huts, drawing day trippers and holidaymakers. However, it offers much more for those considering it as a permanent residence.

Explore the surrounding waterways aboard Coastal Exploration Company’s wooden sailing boats or try stand-up paddle-boarding with Barefoot SUP for an active adventure.

Behind the bustling harbour, seek out sought-after fishermen’s cottages or apartments with sea views in converted buildings. Further afield, discover spacious grand houses and new-build developments ideal for families and downsizers. The town boasts a lively community with schools, a GP surgery, and a library.

Delve into culture at Wells Maltings, a heritage centre with a theatre, cinema, gallery, and café-bar. Browse local galleries like The Staithe Gallery, Gallery Plus, and Quay Art for unique artwork. Explore Nomad and the Bowerbird for homewares, Christopher William Country for country clothing, and Ele and Me for eco-friendly children’s items. For culinary delights, visit Arthur Howell’s traditional butcher or The Real Ale Shop at Branthill Farm.

Dine at The Globe Inn or Crown Hotel for meals overlooking the green, or indulge at Michelin-starred Morston Hall. For a simpler pleasure, enjoy fish and chips from French’s on the harbour wall as the sun sets over the water.

Imagine yourself here – could Wells-next-the-Sea be your dream coastal home?

About Sowerbys, Burnham Market

Market Place, Burnham Market, PE31 8HD

Our home in Burnham Market

Nestled in the heart of Norfolk's much-loved Georgian village, Burnham Market is where our story began.

Where it all began

More than 30 years ago, Max Sowerby founded Sowerbys right here. Back then it was just him, his trusty four-legged companion and an old computer.

Meet the team

Today, Karen Lewis-Mitchell manages our Burnham branch - a team with more than 70 years of combined industry experience.

Our place on the green

You'll find us among a wealth of local businesses surrounding the quintessential village green, in a picture-perfect Georgian double-fronted store.

A building with history

Formerly known as White Cottage, the building has served its community in many ways. In the mid-19th century it was a grocer and tallow chandler. The Roy family traded here from the early 1900s until 1971, selling everything from groceries to shoes and haberdashery. For almost 30 years it was home to the local newsagents, until 2001 when Max Sowerby moved the team in.
