3 bedroom cottage for sale

Just moments from the North Norfolk coastline, Manor Cottage is a home where history and nature intertwine. Once part of the original Manor Farm, the cottage began life as a single-storey brick and flint annexe. In the early 1900s, it was considerably extended with an additional floor, transforming it into the handsome, character-filled residence it is today.The cottage offers three beautifully proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged to suit modern living. The atmosphere is one of warmth and authenticity: the glow of a wood-burning stove, soft light filtering through sash windows, and the timeless texture of natural materials. The sitting room is a heart-warming space for winter evenings, while the dining and breakfast rooms invite long, unhurried meals with friends. The country kitchen blends practicality with charm, flowing naturally to a useful utility area.Upstairs, every window frames a picture - from the peaceful gardens and to the sea beyond. The principal bedroom feels generous and restful, while the other two offer the same sense of calm, each touched by the cottage’s distinctive character.Set within approximately half an acre (STMS), the grounds are both beautiful and purposeful. A walled front garden embraces the property with climbing shrubs, while the rear opens up to lawns, fruit trees, and a productive vegetable garden. Courtyard terraces provide sheltered spots for morning coffee or evening wine, and a wildlife pond allows the enjoyment of watching a wide array of nature. Whether indoors or out, the uninterrupted sea views are ever-present - a reminder of the unique setting you’ll be calling home.Manor Cottage is more than a property - it is a chapter in Norfolk’s coastal heritage, offering a rare chance to own a home that stirs both the heart and the imagination.SIDESTRAND
Sidestrand, and its larger neighbour, Overstrand, enjoy a quiet position on the North Norfolk coast. In Overstrand you’ll find a well-stocked village shop and Post Office, a lively gastropub, and the historic Sea Marge hotel. From the cottage, coastal walks and sandy beaches are at your doorstep, offering an ever-changing backdrop of sea and sky. The area is known locally as Poppyland, so-called for the waves of red flowers that fill the clifftop landscape during the summer months.Just two miles away is the bustling seaside town of Cromer, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities, along with rail and bus connections to Norwich. 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. 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!
