Description
A home which has - for more than two years, been rebuilt and materially extended behind its original frontage, this wonderful property is situated away from the main road and at the end of the drive of the neighbour's house, which Riverside House has an absolute right of access over. The advantage of this postion means that the property has south-facing views of the peaceful and wide river frontage, along with off-street parking for two cars.
Alongside the main home, connected via a beautiful reception hall conservatory, is a brick and flint cottage annexe, with its own first floor.
The care and detail afforded to this property saw our clients determined to create a stunning home, one refurbished regardless of cost - where pictures may convey the beauty of the interior, better than words.
A succession of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors provides the most stunning views of the beautifully landscaped garden, the River Stiffkey - meandering its way through the garden, fields, and valley beyond.
The charm, substance, and style combine with the beauty of the landscape to create a lifestyle which is truly very special.
Whilst the period charm and contemporary design - in theory - juxtapose, they actually provide a synergy which is seldom seen.
The kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures and fittings are of flawless design and quality and the reception rooms enjoy those wonderful south-facing, peaceful views over the river, fields, and valley.
The design of the principal bedroom incorporates a stunning and substantial terrace, gifting river valley views of the local wildlife; quite simply breathtaking.
As exquisite as the interior of Riverside House is, the exterior is equally compelling. The neatly manicured terraced gardens, with their irrigation systems, are beautifully well-stocked and abundant with colour and perfume, adding to the serenity.
The village of Stiffkey has a charm which complements Riverside House; the marshes just a five-minute walk away, the local pub and coffee shop popular refreshment stops for locals, and the coast is just perfect for sailing under the vast and never-ending North Norfolk skies.
It will not be easy for our client to say goodbye to Riverside House and it's easy to understand why; from the friendships it's helped discover, to the high-quality finishes throughout, and vistas of the ever-changing landscape as the seasons ebb and flow like the River Stiffkey. This house provides all of the comforts, tranquillity, and soul which many seek, but never find...
STIFFKEY One of the most picturesque villages on the North Norfolk coast, Stiffkey is located between Wells-next-the-Sea and Blakeney.
The River Stiffkey flowing west to east has carved a valley creating properties with stunning views and a short walk to the tidal marshes. The village is famous for its 'Stewkey Blues', a local blue cockle. It has a good pub, the Red Lion, with real ale and good food. There's also a general store and newsagents. The village is very well placed for the North Norfolk Coast. There is excellent sailing nearby, and superb coastal walks.
Just four miles away is the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, which is set behind a small harbour on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast - its beach was voted The Best British Beach of the Year 2016 by The Times. The town has a maze of narrow streets, old alleys and yards, filled with shops, pubs and cafés and there are many listed and impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings. The town has a doctors' surgery, library, community hall and primary and secondary schools, and, for those that enjoy the water a public house on a boat.
Wells-next-the-Sea is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the heart of the Heritage Coast between Hunstanton and Weybourne. The beautiful sandy beach, with its pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, can be reached by a pleasant walk, car or alternatively you could just enjoy the Quay with its active fishing fleet and sailing club. Both Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Woods are designated Nature Reserves, and walkers and birdwatchers enjoy the North Norfolk Coastal Path, creeks and marshes.
