House For Sale £1,750,000
THE WILLOWS
Extending to almost 2,500 sq. ft. of living and entertaining space, The Willows is a substantial and incredibly stylish detached home, tucked away in this quiet spot in the heart of the beautiful and popular coastal village of Thornham.
Upon entering The Willows, you will be forgiven for initially pausing in order to fully absorb and appreciate the sheer expanse of the open-plan living that encompasses the majority of the ground floor. Measuring over 40ft in length and 30ft in width, this is an extraordinary room and it is so easy to see how this space naturally segments itself into different functional areas. Whilst the functional end of the room is obvious with the stunning kitchen units and large sociable island that allows for food preparation, it also doubles up as the perfect spot for a mid-morning coffee and chat. There is then the 'dining room' with ample space for large gatherings around the table, whether it be Christmas, Easter, a fun Saturday night dinner party or Sunday lunch, this can accommodate them all.
Stepping through to the sitting room, surrounded on three sides by floor to ceiling glass doors that are framed in oak. This stylish aesthetic strikes a harmonious balance between the rustic charm of a barn conversion and the sleek elegance of Scandinavian coastal design. Its proximity to the beach and sea further enhances the space's coastal allure.
This is a room that floods the entire house with natural light and with all those french doors opened up on a sultry summer day, it is the ideal place to let the cool sea breeze through. The patio area provides the perfect place for alfresco dining and entertaining.
There are four generous double bedrooms to the first floor, the principal having a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a large free-standing bath, separate double shower cubicle as well as a matching pair of basins. There is a further en-suite shower room and the other two bedrooms share the family bathroom.
Outside and to the front there is ample off street parking whilst to the rear the garden is south facing, completely enclosed and backs on to a long established parkland with mature oaks that help make The Willows feel as if it has always been here as well as providing absolute privacy.
THORNHAM
Thornham may just be the quintessential Norfolk coastal bolthole. With plenty of brick and flint cottages and larger period homes just a short walk from the water's edge and nature reserve, dig a little deeper and you'll also discover it is a fantastic foodie hotspot with a clutch of award winning pubs and eateries, along with a boutique retail park. Once a largely forgotten village on the run between Hunstanton and Burnham Market, over the past decade Thornham has evolved into a chic stop.
Historically a centre of trade and seafaring, the village was used by the Romans and saw fierce conflict between smugglers over the centuries until the harbour silted up in the early 20th century. Many of the traditional fishermen's cottages have been gentrified with a soft palette and contemporary coastal style and life now moves at a calmer pace.
Start the day with a slow brunch at Thornham Deli before picking up some nibbles at the food counter or browsing its quirky lifestyle store. Then, continue your retail therapy a little further along the coast road at Drove Orchards, which seems to have something fresh each season. Or take it easy and fill your basket at the Farm Shop – with a small meat counter, deli, bakery and pantry selection, plus a satellite of Gurneys Fish Shop next door, dinner's sorted. Open Sky Cycles can also be found here, offering bike hire, making this a great base to leave the car and explore on two wheels.
Drove Orchards is also home to the original, award winning Eric's Fish & Chips and Eric's Pizza, located in a neighbouring Yurt, where traditional dishes have been given a contemporary spin. But if you are looking for good pub grub, head to The Lifeboat Inn or The Orange Tree – both located within this small but prominent village. While some stumble upon Thornham by accident while touring the coastline, there are many who have decided to make it a place to call home.
