Offered for sale with no onward chain, Post Box Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed mid terrace period cottage situated in a tucked away location right in the heart of the popular coastal village of Stiffkey.

Traditional features include solid pine latch doors, pamment tiled floors, exposed floorboards and period style brass switches.

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. The coastal path is accessed off a small free car park at the end of Greenway where you can walk to Wells-next-the-Sea to the west and Morston to the east. Off the main road 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. Just over a mile further on is Blakeney to the east whilst Wells-next-the-Sea is 3 miles to the west from Stiffkey with its beautiful sandy beach, dunes and colourful beach huts fringed by pinewoods.
