Combining character, generous living space and exceptional versatility, the property also boasts a successful track record as a holiday let, making it equally appealing as a permanent home, second residence or investment opportunity.

The elegant ground floor is centred around a superb front reception room, where a striking feature fireplace, high ceilings and a beautiful bay window create a wonderfully welcoming space to relax and entertain. To the rear, the home opens into a contemporary kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed with modern cabinetry and ample space for family meals and social occasions.

Arranged across the upper floors are six well-proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for growing families or visiting guests. The first floor hosts three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a stylish family bathroom. From the front elevation, delightful elevated views stretch across the rooftops of West Runton towards the sea, providing a constant reminder of the property’s superb coastal setting.

The second floor continues to impress, offering three further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating a versatile layout perfectly suited to larger families, guest accommodation or holiday letting.

Outside, the property enjoys two attractive courtyard gardens. To the front, an inviting seating area provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening sunshine, while the enclosed rear courtyard offers a private setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Parking is conveniently available along The Hurn.

Situated just moments from the village amenities, beach and scenic coastal paths, Fairholme presents a great opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in one of North Norfolk’s most desirable seaside villages, where character, flexibility and an exceptional lifestyle combine in equal measure.

WEST RUNTON
Between the Victorian seaside resorts of Cromer and Sheringham, West Runton has good road connections and a small railway station with regular services to Norwich. West Runton also has a pub - The Village Inn, restaurants, a post office, an independent school and village store. It also has a golf links course and there are nearby National Trust woodland walks. The village is famous for the West Runton Woolly Mammoth, a huge 6-700,000 year old fossilised elephant, discovered in the 1990s. West Runton is also home to the Hilltop Shirehorse Centre.

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. 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!

Or push the boat out with fish and chips from No 1 Cromer, Galton Blackiston’s award winning Cromer eatery perched on the clifftop. Treat yourself to a relaxing lunch at the Upstairs Restaurant where stunning sea views meet tasty seafood, or join the queue downstairs and enjoy your takeaway sitting on the wall as the seagulls soar above you for a fully immersive ‘beside the seaside’ experience. Follow the slope down from the clifftop to the beach and walk the shoreline or practise your hand at an afternoon skimming stones out to the horizon line.
