West Runton

Bluebird Cottage is a charming mid-terraced period cottage situated in the heart of this highly sought-after village, set well back from the road beyond the green and within a short walk of the shops, beach, train and bus station.

In recent years a wide programme of refurbishments has taken place using high quality fixtures and fittings throughout to provide a home which is sympathetically combines the charm and character of the property with modern living.

The extensive refurbishments included re-felting and battens to the roof, re-plastering and décor, new kitchen, utility room and luxurious bathroom suite, new lighting, wood- burning stove and flooring.

The original sash windows have been retained, keeping the character of the frontage intact.

The accommodation is well laid out and comprises a living room with a wood-burning stove, and a dining room leading into the fitted kitchen with a utility room off, which includes a downstairs WC.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, perfectly balanced for four guests, and a fabulous bathroom with a claw-foot bath.

There are lovely gardens to the front and rear with a right of way for the neighbours to access their gardens. There is parking available on The Hurn. This superb property is offered with no onward chain and would make a lovely ready to move into home or a superb holiday home.

Bluebird Cottage has been trading very successfully as a premium holiday let and the option to purchase the property with the contents and goodwill is available for further discussion. 

WEST RUNTON Nestled between the Victorian seaside resorts of Cromer and Sheringham, West Runton has good road connections and a small railway station with regular services to Norwich. West Runton also has a pub - The Village Inn, restaurants, a post office, an independent school and village store. It also has a golf links course and there are nearby National Trust woodland walks. The village is famous for the West Runton Woolly Mammoth, a huge 6-700,000 year old fossilised elephant, discovered in the 1990s. West Runton is also home to the Hilltop Shirehorse Centre.

With an elegant pier, Pavilion Theatre and grand Victorian villas, many with panoramic views over the pebble and sand beach, it's easy to see why Cromer has perennial appeal to staycationers and permanent residents alike. Banksy recently visited the town on a headline-making 'spraycation' which focused the media's attention on the east side of the Norfolk coast. Spend a morning exploring the pretty boutiques and follow the lanes towards the seafront to pick up a Cromer crab - widely regarded as one of the best found in English waters, the eight-legged crustacean still provides a major source of income for the town's fishermen and simply served with bread makes an unbeatable lunch or supper!

Or push the boat out with fish and chips from No 1 Cromer, Galton Blackiston's award winning Cromer eatery perched on the clifftop. Treat yourself to a relaxing lunch at the Upstairs Restaurant where stunning sea views meet tasty seafood, or join the queue downstairs and enjoy your takeaway sitting on the wall as the seagulls soar above you for a fully immersive 'beside the seaside' experience. Follow the slope down from the clifftop to the beach and walk the shoreline or practise your hand at an afternoon skimming stones out to the horizon line.
