Flint and Brick Cottage in East Runton

Set within the coastal village of East Runton, this beautifully presented brick and flint cottage combines traditional North Norfolk character with contemporary comfort. Carefully renovated throughout in 2023, it offers a stylish, practical home within easy reach of both countryside and coast.

Positioned close to East Runton Common, the setting is peaceful, with open green space nearby and the beach around a ten-minute walk away. Cromer, Sheringham and the wider North Norfolk coastline are also easily accessible.

Extending to approximately 1,085 sq ft, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged for everyday living and entertaining. At its heart is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space, featuring bespoke cabinetry, quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of Rangemaster and Neff appliances.

A separate sitting room offers a comfortable retreat, with exposed timber beams and a wood-burning stove adding warmth and character. Glazed doors lead through to the conservatory, creating a natural connection with the garden beyond.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully refitted en-suite bathroom, while a contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The extensive 2023 renovation included a bespoke kitchen and new bathrooms, boiler and radiators, flooring, carpets, blinds, curtains and comprehensive redecoration, creating a home that is ready to enjoy from the outset.

Further benefits include a professionally boarded loft with built-in ladder access and ample parking for two cars.

The cottage garden is a particularly charming feature, enclosed by mature planting and thoughtfully landscaped with an abundance of shrubs, roses and established greenery. A winding paved path creates a series of secluded spaces, giving the garden a wonderfully private, almost secret-garden feel. There is also a useful outbuilding which houses a refitted utility room with sink, WC, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Whether envisaged as a permanent home, a coastal retreat or a highly appealing second home, this is a property that captures much of what makes North Norfolk so desirable: village life, countryside, access to the sea and a strong sense of place, all combined with beautifully considered modern living.

EAST RUNTON
East Runton is between the Victorian seaside resorts of Cromer and Sheringham. It’s a pretty coastal village which runs into West Runton with its independent Beeston Hall School. It has a duck pond and a village green. On the edge of the village there is a general store, a newsagents and two pubs. There are good road connections and nearby in West Runton is a small railway station with regular services to Norwich. Also nearby at West Runton is the home of the Hillside 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 nearby Cromer has perennial appeal to staycationers and permanent residents alike. Banksy recently visited the town on a headline-making ‘spraycation’, 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.

Widely regarded as one of the best found in English waters, the Cromer crab 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. 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.

With a good selection of schools it’s easy to see the appeal of this gorgeously gentrified town for young families as a place to put down roots. Come discover if it’s the place for you too…
