House For Sale £635,000
A rare opportunity to purchase a detached house requiring refurbishment standing in 3/4 acre gardens with distant sea views in this popular coastal village. No chain.
Description
Four Furlongs is a detached house built of red brick under a tiled roof in a stunning rural position bordering countryside on the edge of the ever popular north Norfolk coastal village of Stiffkey. The property has been extended over the years but does now require a programme of refurbishment presenting the buyer with a rare opportunity to create an outstanding family house in a charming setting with distant sea views from the first floor.
The property has spacious flexible accommodation which would benefit from some alterations to the layout but offering scope for family sized 4 bedroom accommodation with potential for an annexe. Outside, there is an extensive in/out driveway providing parking for several vehicles/boats etc and leading to a large garage and carport. There are mature gardens and grounds amounting to approximately 3/4 acre (subject to survey) with a range of outbuildings.
Four Furlongs is being offered for sale with no onward chain.
Situation
Stiffkey is a picturesque village, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, of predominantly pretty brick and flint cottages with the marshes leading down to the sea on one side and nestling in the valley next to the River Stiffkey to the other side. In the main street can be found the attractive Stiffkey Stores and Coffee Shop which is open 7 days a week in the summer and offers a Post Office counter, everyday groceries as well as a wide range of locally grown produce, homewares, gifts and wines. Close by is The Red Lion, a much celebrated traditional Norfolk pub serving good locally sourced food.
To the east is Morston where you can take a boat trip out to see the seals at Blakeney Point and treat yourself to a meal at the Michelin starred restaurant at Morston Hall or take the track via Greenway in Stiffkey which leads down to the sea and the coastal path. Blakeney is 3 miles to the east and Wells-next-the-Sea is 4 miles to the west with its beautiful sandy beach, dunes and colourful beach huts fringed by pinewoods.
