House For Sale £1,250,000
An exceptional coastal position with uninterrupted views across to Blakeney Point.
Description
Wildacre is an exceptional coastal opportunity. It is not often that a house can boast genuine panoramic views of the North Norfolk coastline, on the edge of a village whilst providing plenty of space to enjoy a coastal lifestyle with provision for boats, kayaks, vehicles and of course a substantial house. It is a plot and property of significant potential.
Built towards the end of the 1960s, Wildacre was designed to maximise the position overlooking this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A first floor sitting room is an excellent example of this, to take in the views, with sliding glazed doors out to a spacious balcony. The principal bedroom is also well positioned to wake up to the incredible views, with a direct view out to the coastline through floor to ceiling glazing. This bedroom also has a balcony to the south elevation which is private and sheltered.
With a total of over 2600 sq ft of living space, the house has a great adaptability and functionality. An open plan kitchen/breakfast room is spacious, with French doors out to the south facing terrace and gardens behind the house, with adjoining dining room. There is a future proofing ground floor bedroom, with en suite wet room, with the ability to use the snug as a further bedroom if required due to an adjoining shower room. A study is at the front of the house, and there is the tantalising option of an integral double garage that could be incorporated into the house. On the first floor, with the sitting room and principal bedroom with en suite shower room, are a further two bedrooms and family bathroom. All bedrooms are double rooms and all have either views of the coast or private gardens.
The house has been within the same family for over 25 years, and has been well maintained but would now benefit from updating.
Gardens and grounds
The property has a good balance of garden and house, with the house set well back from the road in the middle of the plot. A private drive sweeps up to the house, with a parking and turning area for many cars and boats. To the front of the house is an expanse of lawn, mature shrubs and mature hedged boundaries.
A generous south facing garden is entirely private, with a paved terrace running the width of the house providing a delightfully sheltered area for outside dining and entertaining. An extended area of the terrace can be enjoyed, leading out to the lawns which stretch away to a wooded area and onto further lawn and greenhouses. There are fine trees including walnut and flowering cherry. To the east of the house is a useful outbuilding and further lawn.
Location
Blakeney is one of the most sought after villages lying along the North Norfolk Coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is famous for its distinctive quay looking out over the marshes, with charming unspoilt streets of fishermen’s cottages. The village has the renowned Blakeney Hotel, Moorings fish restaurant, Two Magpies bakery, Willie Weston’s fish shop, The White Horse public house and the Kings Arms, delicatessen, shops, Art gallery, primary school and doctors' surgery. There is excellent sailing, bird and seal watching, crabbing and a network of coastal paths to enjoy from the village, and at other points along the coast alongside a plethora of restaurants and pubs including the famous Wiveton Hall Café and the Michelin star Morston Hall. To the east are good golf courses at Cromer and Sheringham.
The picturesque market town of Holt is about 4.5 miles, and is renowned for its boutique shopping, Byford’s delicatessen, good restaurants and pubs and further specialist and everyday shopping. There are also banking and transport facilities within the town and private education at Greshams School, with Beeston Preparatory school further along the coast to the east.
