Cromer

Location Cromer is a vibrant predominantly Victorian town on the North Norfolk coast, famous for its wide open beaches, Cromer crabs and traditional pier, complete with theatre providing the last remaining Seaside Special Variety Show in the country. Rich in its fishing heritage, Cromer also has a lighthouse and proud tradition of RNLI service. There is an excellent mix of small independent local shops and a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, pubs and holiday accommodation together with train and bus links to the broads and Norwich some 23 miles distant.

There is a hospital, doctors and dental surgery, library and the Royal Cromer Golf Club. Locally there are two park runs held every Saturday at Blickling Hall and Sheringham Park, both National Trust properties. Fantastic for getting fit, mental well being or just getting to know the local community, ideal if you have just moved from another area. 

Description Situated in a sought after location opposite Cromer Lawn Tennis and Squash Club and a minute or two's walk from Cromer Academy and the Junior School, Montague House dating from around 1920 was obviously constructed for someone with real style and an attention for period detail which is quite exceptional.

The entrance porch and entrance door with stained glass window and original door furniture provides a taste of what is to come. The reception hall is quite breathtaking as will be seen from our photograph, with it's geometric tiled floor, bold cornicing, picture rail, decorative hardwood newel posts and handrail to the staircase, original doors with porcelain door furniture and architraves, skirting boards and decorative arches with hardwood detailing spanning the entrance much of which is echoed throughout the house.

There are two delightful reception rooms at the front of the house both with feature bays, and superb fireplaces one of which still retains it's original tiled splays. At the rear of the house a breakfast room has ample space to accommodate a table and six chairs and provides access to the kitchen and a good old fashioned pantry! No longer will you need to fish around in the backs of cupboards discovering long lost kitchen equipment or out of date produce! And finally, taking full advantage of views over the west facing rear garden and providing access to a sheltered patio, is a stunning garden room ideal for soaking up the warmth of the sun on those early spring or Autumn days. Tucked away off the garden room is a second bathroom ideal for visiting guests and family.

The first floor has four bedrooms (two of which echo the ground floor reception rooms) all off a spacious galleried landing with original fitted cupboard ideal for linen and a window to the front providing a view towards Cromer Lighthouse. A bathroom and separate WC with hand basin provide facilities for this floor.

And finally the gardens; established, well stocked and a picture in the summer, have a westerly aspect at the rear and include a summerhouse and garden shed. Adjacent to the property is a timber garage and workshop plus a gardeners WC, so no excuse for muddy boots in the house!

It will be noted from our photographs and on viewing there is scope for some sympathetic updating, but this quite exceptional and unique home ideal for a family has been realistically priced to reflect these improvements.
