Overstrand

Nestled in the charming seaside village of Overstrand, this three-bedroom terraced house offers a blend of captivating character and untapped potential. While some areas of the property would benefit from modernisation, its period features and distinct personality shine through. With parking and a single garage, the home boasts a spacious roof terrace and a peaceful patio beside the front door, perfect for enjoying the fresh sea air. The separate garden offers a serene escape, providing both privacy and a tranquil atmosphere.

This property is steeped in local history, being part of a development commissioned by Sir Edgar Speyer in the early 1900s. Speyer, a prominent London banker and arts patron, enlisted renowned architect Sir Arthur Blomfield to design the Sea Marge in 1902, followed by a Stables and Coach House in 1913. The Coach House, which was once a key part of Speyer's estate, was later converted into mews cottages in the 1950s, with this home still showcasing many original Edwardian architectural features that highlight its period charm.

Overstrand, famously known as the "village of millionaires" in the early 20th century, attracted notable figures such as Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Today, it remains a vibrant seaside village located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering a range of local amenities including a post office, pubs, and shops. Just minutes from the beach, scenic cliff tops, and woodlands, 22 Mundesley Road provides not only a historical home, but a gateway to one of Norfolk's most picturesque coastal lifestyles. 

OVERSTRAND The coastal village of Overstrand stands on the north Norfolk coast which is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The village, which is part of what is sometimes called Poppy Land, offers a sandy beach, shops, post office, public house and hotels, a bus service passes through the village to the neighbouring resort town of Cromer where more comprehensive facilities can be found including the tallest parish church tower in the county, museums, a variety of shops, cinema, galleries and cafes.

There are good transport links via bus and train to Norwich (30 minutes) and onto London (2 hours) and there is a regional airport at Norwich. Sporting facilities include The Royal Cromer Golf Club and Cromer Lawn Tennis and Squash Club which offers some of the finest grass courts in the country. There are opportunities for sailing at Blakeney and on the Norfolk Broads.

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, and in recent years there has been a regular flow of relocaters from the capital and home counties looking for a life by the sea.
