Main Road, Brancaster Staithe, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE31

A bespoke new home in coastal village

Description

Tucked away within the popular village of Brancaster Staithe, in a private position looking out over farmland, The Boathouse is well placed to enjoy the coastal lifestyle. Within a few minutes walk you can be at the sailing club and the harbour, or the thriving White Horse pub/restaurant/seafood bar, or the tennis club or simply meandering alongside the peaceful and captivating marsh.

Built to a high standard, a bespoke design, The Boathouse is now ready for its next owners. It is a great example of what a contemporary coastal village home should be. A great level of privacy within the setting, the practicality of parking and garaging too, outdoor entertaining area, and garden, and a house that is well designed with style and functionality.

Much of coastal life involves socialising, and The Boathouse caters brilliantly for this. One of the stars of the show is the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. A fantastic space, with eye catching contemporary double sided wood burner, integrated Sonos sound system and two sets of bifold doors out to the south facing terrace, it is ideal for drinks parties, cosy suppers or simply quiet relaxation. The kitchen is a stylish one, by Kitchens Etc who have done many lovely kitchens in Norfolk, with high-quality craftmanship and a practicality to it. A great looking peninsular is the ideal spot from which to enjoy the view over the neighbouring farmland.

There are a couple of entrances to the house. The ‘smart’ entrance is into a wide hall, with striking bespoke oak staircase. The day-to-day entrance is straight into the boot room, with fitted cabinetry again by Kitchens Etc for continuity, with bench seat, and plenty of storage, sink and even a bespoke dog bowl holder. The ground floor is complemented with marble and oak flooring, completed with a WC and storage, and a future proofing ground floor bedroom, with en suite shower room. This could of course be used as a further reception room if required.

Upstairs, off a galleried landing, are a further three en suite bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with built in wardrobes, a dressing area, and en suite walk-in shower room. At the opposite end of the house is a further impressive bedroom, with cleverly designed cabinetry concealing the entry to hotel grade en suite bath/shower room. The final bedroom is also a double bedroom, with built in wardrobe, en suite shower room and a fine view out over fields. There are individual design points throughout the house, creating character and warmth.

There is under floor heating to both the first and second floors, powered by air source heat pumps.

Outside
There has been as much thought to the layout of the outside, as there has to the house. Every part of the plot is utilised and has a value. Set at the end of a long-gravelled drive, away from the main coast road and therefore in a quiet position, there is an initial private parking area. Part gravelled and part brick weave, this area has space for vehicles and boats and adjoins the double garage both of which have electric roller doors, providing excellent storage for cars, kayaks, bikes and kite surfing gear.

A distinctive and high brick and knapped flint wall divide the parking area from the gardens. An iron pedestrian gate opens to an expanse of paving, covering a spacious and enclosed courtyard enjoying all day sun. A raised water feature provides interest, whilst steps lead down into a purpose built Oak framed and slate roofed outdoor kitchen, sitting and dining space. It all combines to create an outdoors space whatever the weather. Better still, bifold doors open from the open plan kitchen, joining the sociable spaces together.

The paving continues down the side of the house to the south facing gardens. Further patio runs along the length of the house, creating the ideal spot for al fresco dining, with an expanse of lawn opening out to the neighbouring farmland with views over fields and up to Brancaster common. It is a relaxing outlook.

The grounds have been purposefully designed for ease of maintenance, yet with interest and character.
