Overstrand

Location Overstrand is a charming and increasingly sought-after seaside village nestled on the North Norfolk coast, in the heart of Poppyland. Once known as the "village of millionaires," Overstrand gained fame in the late 19th century, attracting notable figures and boasting stunning architectural landmarks. Among these are The Pleasance, the former residence of Lord and Lady Battersea, Overstrand Hall, once home to Baron and Lady Hillingdon, and the Methodist Church, all masterfully designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Over the years, the village has hosted distinguished visitors such as Winston Churchill, Jesse Boot (founder of Boots the Chemist), the Chivers family (of jam fame), and Clement Scott, a writer for the Daily Telegraph.

Today, Overstrand offers an idyllic blend of coastal and countryside walks, along with a range of local amenities. The High Street features a convenient store/post office and the welcoming White Horse public house. The village also boasts a primary school, church, village hall, and art center. Additional highlights include the stunning Sea Marge Hotel, beautiful sandy beaches, and the well-known cliff-top café. Regular bus services connect Overstrand to nearby North Walsham (8 miles) and Cromer (3 miles), with hourly routes to Norwich, Sheringham, and Holt. 

Description Built in the late 1960's, this detached bungalow has undergone significant improvements in recent years, particularly under the current owners, who purchased the property just last year with the intention of making it their forever home. One of the standout enhancements is the kitchen, where a thoughtful extension has created a bright, spacious area, complete with sleek quartz countertops and top-of-the-line appliances. These include a Neff hide and slide fan oven, an integrated multi-function combination microwave, a five-ring induction hob, a cutting-edge extractor unit, and a Quooker boiling water tap with a filtered cold water option. Additionally, a new Worcester gas-fired boiler was installed in April, providing efficient heating throughout the home.

The principal and second double bedrooms are equipped with bespoke Venetian blinds by Sunline, while the garden room, which offers ample space for both seating and dining, features modern day and night roller blinds. Additionally, there is ample space to accommodate a sofa bed and blinds to all the windows including the internal dining alcove window ensures privacy when in use. This fantastic space overlooks the beautifully landscaped rear garden, with French doors opening onto an elegant Indian sandstone terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The spacious sitting room, recently redecorated like much of the home, offers plenty of room for sofas and chairs, along with a separate dining alcove ideal for casual dining. The home's heating system is controlled by Hive technology, ensuring comfort and convenience, while a newly installed alarm system (February) and electric roller door for the garage-home to the inverter unit for the solar panels and battery storage-help to significantly reduce utility costs.

The principal bedroom features an en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom enjoys access to a stylish adjacent bathroom with a modern suite and separate shower. A handy utility room off the kitchen provides additional convenience, and the electrical system has been thoroughly updated, including a new consumer unit.

Set on a generous and mature plot extending to over quarter of an acre (subject to survey), the property offers ample gravel parking at the front and a beautifully landscaped rear garden. The outdoor space boasts a wide variety of plants, a charming summerhouse, and several strategically placed patios and terraces that follow the sun throughout the day.
