Mill Road, Brancaster, Norfolk, PE31

A perfect base for a coastal lifestyle with contemporary style inside and out.

Description

Yasumi, Japanese for ‘a break, or holiday’, is a fitting name for a house that presents a calming, stylish and comfortable coastal home. From the mature olive trees in the landscaped gardens, to the contemporary bath in the sumptuous principal bedroom, great thought was given to the project of extending and developing the house in 2019, with all detail considered.

The focal point of the house is the open plan kitchen/dining/living area. Incorporating a bespoke kitchen with Lacanche cooker and Fisher & Paykel appliances, the large island unit divides the functional area from the dining area which blends into the living area, complete with contemporary woodburner. The real edge to this space is the floor to ceiling bi-fold doors, on both the west and east elevation, that peel back to bring the outside in with a seamless single level of flooring, it is visually and practically impressive. A cosy sitting room, in the original part of the house, is a pleasing blend of modern style with period beams, and woodburner. A walk in pantry with wine fridges and a utility room with fitted cabinetry add functionality, with a study to the front of the house that could be used as a bedroom if required.

The high standards continue upstairs which hosts three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. This includes the stunning principal bedroom with dressing area, feature bath, vaulted ceilings, Juliet balcony and en suite shower room.

The house is the perfect example of a manageable coastal home, with the ability to accommodate drinks and dinner parties either large or small, or to host holidaying family, yet a size that is equally well suited to couples without feeling space is not being utilised.

The Gardens
A defining feature of Yasumi is the beautifully landscaped gardens. Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, the mixture of paving and resin bound shingle paths, simple border planting and steel containers makes for an aesthetically pleasing and undemanding space to enjoy. Mature olive trees, lavender, grasses and cyprus’ create a Mediterranean feel, sheltered by the house or steel weave edging and south facing, with water feature at the heart of the space. At one end of the garden is a covered dining area with heating, enclosed on three sides and open to the garden, which is a brilliant area for entertaining.

To the east of the house is a further paved area, perfect for morning through to early afternoon sun, providing a further seating area. Steps lead up to the parking area, with space for cars and boat, with electric gates and EV charging points.

Location

Yasumi is located within the village of Brancaster, long been regarded as one of the premier coastal villages in North Norfolk, popular with all demographics.
