Property description
Cable Cottage was originally built in the 1950s, when the undersea telegraph cable was laid from Denmark, and is believed to have been constructed to house the cable operator. Weybourne Hope, the nearby beach, is renowned as one of the deepest shore accesses on the Norfolk coast - the very reason the cable was brought ashore here.Set on a generous and private plot, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers versatile accommodation with scope for further improvement. The ground floor includes a welcoming sun room, a useful utility room, and adaptable living areas. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom.Outside, the property enjoys a private garden, ideal for making the most of its peaceful setting, along with a garage for storage or parking.Offered chain free, Cable Cottage presents a truly rare chance to acquire a coastal home in an exceptional position - just a stone’s throw from the beach, steeped in history, and tucked away in a wonderfully private location.WEYBOURNE Just three miles west of Sheringham, Weybourne is familiar to many as a stop on The Poppy Line steam railway, which is a magnificent way to arrive at this unspoilt coastal village. You might spot pretty Weybourne Windmill as you ride the line, which local legend says once signalled to smugglers with the turn of its sails whether the coast was clear to land.The mill was later home to Mr and Mrs Dodds who were arrested as spies during World War II, after police spotted the couple using the windmill to signal out to sea and discovered a radio transmitter. East Anglia’s proximity to Europe meant it played a key role in the war effort and a secret World War II military site to the left of the village, Weybourne Camp, which was visited by Churchill is now home to the Muckleburgh Collection, one of the UK’s largest privately owned displays of guns and military vehicles.Following Station Road, turn into Church Street where the medieval All Saints Church sits, and behind it Weybourne Priory, once home to Augustine monks. Further along is The Ship Inn, a traditional village pub which has been serving locals since the 1800s. Enjoy one of its wide selection of local ales and artisan gins as you enjoy seafood freshly caught just footsteps away. If you follow Beach Lane down to the coastline, you might see the boats which fish the waters for their catch.Take the coastal path west towards pretty Cley and Salthouse Marshes or head east back to Sheringham. Surrounded by fields, woodland and heathland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its village shop, tea room, many traditional cottages and period homes this is a wonderful place to call home.SERVICES CONNECTED Mains water, electricity and drainage.
