Description
Drift Corner is an elegant, five/six-bedroom Edwardian residence situated on a quiet no-through road just yards from Sheringham's glorious beach and coastline.
This coveted and rarely available location means that the property has sea glimpses from a few windows and access to the beach on foot just moments away.
Built in the early 1900's, the property has been in the same family for many years and has been much loved and enjoyed as a coastal retreat but now comes to the market requiring modernisation, but benefits from double glazing and a modern, gas fired boiler.
With such an outstanding location, the property offers a unique and rare opportunity to create your dream beach side home.
Set across three floors the property extends to over 1,800 sq. ft. and retains much of its Edwardian features and detail. A spacious hall features a tiled floor, guest WC and understairs storage. A front, south facing sitting room showcases an open fireplace and an attractive, double glazed sash window.
The kitchen currently resides in the centre of the ground floor with a door and window to side. Beyond the kitchen is a large dual aspect room that requires modernisation but offers great potential for further enhancement and potentially adapting into an open plan kitchen/living area.
The first-floor features two principal, double bedrooms each with a bayed window, a third single bedroom and a family sized bathroom. Rising to the second floor you will find two further double bedrooms and a small occasional/box room that has been used as a single bedroom. One of the bedrooms features glimpses of the sea to the north.
Outside of the property you will find a small enclosed front courtyard garden. This offers off-street parking potential with the attached property having taken that exact opportunity. To the west elevation is a small strip of land for maintenance reasons and access to the side door of the kitchen.
9 The Driftway commands arguably one the finest yet discreet coastal positions in Sheringham. Perched above The West Promenade with sea views this special property feels like it is literally on the beach. In fact, it is so close to the sea, you not only enjoy the views, but you hear and feel the energy of the rolling waves.
SHERINGHAM Sheringham's motto, 'The sea enriches and the pine adorns', sets the scene for all that this traditional seaside town encompasses. Historians believe a Viking warlord settled his tribe in the area c.900, and the area later became a farming and fishing community.
The arrival of the railway in the early 19th century saw the town's population surge and the landscape evolve with a delightfully eclectic range of architectural styles. Today, the station sits on the mainline rail link to Norwich and onwards to London or Cambridge - whichever track you follow, it's an unbeatable coastal commuter town to come home to.
At the heart of Sheringham is a thriving high street with a parade of independent shops peppered with plenty of tourist stops offering sugary treats and colourful postcards. Park at the top of the hill, next to the heritage North Norfolk Railway which runs steam and diesel trains to Holt in the summer months, and wind your way down to the seafront where a stunning Blue Flag pebble and sandy beach awaits for an indulgent hour spent stone-skimming.
Learn more about the relationship between sea and land at the town's museum, fondly known as The Mo, where retired lifeboats reflect the past and a showcase of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm presents the future of the coastline.
At the end of the high street stands the Sheringham Little Theatre, a real local treasure which attracts an illustrious cast of actors from the nationals and is renowned for a vibrant summer rep season and glorious Christmas panto. The Hub, in the theatre's foyer, is a fantastic community café and place to catch up on neighbourhood news.
Locals love to celebrate the town's heritage, with a week of Viking themed events in February, a shared Crab and Lobster Festival with Cromer in May and an all-out carnival in August.
After the bustle of town, step away from the crowds and head along the Norfolk Coastal path to the top of Beeston Bump, just 15 minutes out of town, and immerse yourself in nature as you survey stunning views over the North Sea, Sheringham and West Runton. Or for an even bigger adventure, head to Sheringham Park and take the Repton Walk to the Gazebo for 360° views across the surrounding countryside - what a wonderful town to call home.
