Delightful Chain Free Sidestrand Cottage, Full of Warmth and Possibility

Nestled along the picturesque North Norfolk coast in the peaceful hamlet of Sidestrand, this potential-filled mid-terraced brick and flint cottage offers a wonderful blend of period charm and modern convenience. Set back from the road with the rare benefit of off-road parking, the property is approached through a front garden and opens into a warm and inviting open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, complete with original beams, terracotta tile flooring, and a characterful inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings after coastal walks. The ground floor also features a bathroom and useful storage, with natural light throughout enhancing the homely atmosphere.

Upstairs, the property comprises two bedrooms, with countryside views and the quiet serenity only a location like Sidestrand can provide. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and retains an authentic cottage feel while offering the comfort expected in a modern home. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a holiday investment, this property is ready to move straight into with no immediate work required.

One of the standout features is the large outbuilding to the rear, fully plumbed and offering enormous flexibility as a home office, creative studio, guest space, or utility area. A private garden, bordered by mature hedges and laid to lawn with steps leading up from a charming walled terrace, provides a peaceful, south-facing spot to enjoy the open air. With both character and practical benefits such as parking and a substantial outbuilding, 4 Tower Lane presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique home in an enviable coastal setting.

SIDESTRAND
A small coastal village, Sidestrand is an area known locally as Poppyland, so-called for the waves of red flowers that fill the fields during the summer months.

The clifftop landscape of fields and rolling countryside near to Cromer.

With an elegant pier, Pavilion Theatre and grand Victorian villas, many with panoramic views over the pebble and sand beach, it’s easy to see why Cromer has perennial appeal to staycationers and permanent residents alike. Banksy recently visited the town on a headline-making ‘spraycation’ which focused the media’s attention on the east side of the Norfolk coast, and in recent years there has been a regular flow of relocaters from the capital and home counties looking for a life by the sea.

This, in turn, has triggered an ‘on the up’ momentum for the area and seen fabulous start-up businesses breathe new life into the streets surrounding the town centre. Spend a morning exploring the pretty boutiques and follow the lanes towards the seafront to pick up a Cromer crab – widely regarded as one of the best found in English waters, the eight-legged crustacean still provides a major source of income for the town’s fishermen and simply served with bread makes an unbeatable lunch or supper!
