Brancaster

Nestled peacefully yet within a short stroll of everything this idyllic coastal village has to offer, this location truly provides the perfect escape for relaxation.

As the electric gates glide open and you approach this stately home, a sense of both privacy and grandeur immediately envelops you. Stepping into the original entrance hall, this feeling is enhanced by the generous proportions typical of a house built over 150 years ago.

Situated on the ground floor, the apartment features a magnificent bay window in its open plan reception room. This south-facing window, with east and west wings, not only adds character but also floods the main living space with natural light. The room is elegantly divided into three distinct areas: along one wall is a sleek Neptune kitchen with Unistone Bianca Carrara worktops and Neff appliances; within the bay sits the dining space, framed by beautifully restored floor-to-ceiling wood panelling; and at the centre is the seating area, focused on a cosy log-burner set within the original Victorian fireplace.

The entire living and relaxation area boasts an elegant oak parquet floor, while both bedrooms offer the luxury of soft carpeting. The two generous double bedrooms include a larger rear bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a dressing alcove. The second bedroom is adjacent to another shower room.

Outside, the front patio area is ideally positioned to capture the afternoon and early evening sunshine. Manor Farm House is set within a large gated walled garden, providing ample communal space for your four-legged friends to run and play safely. The apartment also includes two allocated parking spaces.

Converted in 2018 by the award-winning and highly regarded Langton Homes, a family company known for their attention to detail and immaculate finish, their reputation is evident in every detail of Apartment One, as well as the exterior of the main house, communal areas, and gardens. The apartment has served as an idyllic 'lock up and leave' getaway for the current owners and has also been an extremely successful and popular holiday let. Its tranquil yet convenient location continues to attract holidaymakers time and again. 

BRANCASTER Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's easy to see why Brancaster is one of the most sought after villages on the north Norfolk coast with its heritage coastline and fine sandy beaches.

It's a lively village all year round, popular for sailing and watersports, and with a thriving fishing community. Justly famous for its mussels, seafood from Brancaster can be found in many of the local shops and restaurants, as well as much further afield. The village has a very good public house, The Ship, and there is also a village hall, a shop and a club, and for its young residents, a primary school and play area. The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club is at Brancaster with its fine links course which overlooks the stunning, sandy beach.

Brancaster Beach is home to the shipwreck of the SS Vina, visible from the coast. Built in 1894 she spent her working life travelling the Baltic Trade routes before she was requisitioned for the war effort in 1940, when she was used as target practice by the RAF prior to the Normandy landing. On the outskirts of the village is the site of a Roman fort, Branodunum, one of 11 forts built along the south and east coasts to control shipping and trade in the 3rd century. Nearby Barrow Common is also wonderful to explore, with superb walks, a diverse range of plants and wildlife, and fantastic elevated views of the coast.

Burnham Market is about 4 miles away with its wide range of interesting shops, boutiques and restaurants, and for supermarkets and other amenities, Hunstanton and Wells-next the-Sea are both within 20 minutes' drive. For when you don't want to drive, the regular Coastliner bus will take you to King's Lynn in the west, and along the coast eastwards to Wells-next-the-Sea, perfect for a day of exploring!
