Wells-next-the-Sea

Sowerbys are delighted to offer this iconic building for sale in the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, located on the beautiful North Norfolk coast.

This property has been cherished by the same family for three generations. The vendor fondly remembers her childhood spent working with her father, in what is still used as the amusement arcade on the ground floor.

The first floor, accessible through a separate entrance, has previously been used as a restaurant. The kitchen and restroom facilities are still intact, offering breathtaking views through some of the largest windows overlooking the quayside and coast.

On the second floor, there’s a spacious apartment also enjoying spectacular coastal views. The building includes ample storage spaces throughout and a cellar.

Now, the time has come to find a new owner ready to explore the extensive accommodation possibilities spanning over 9,000 sq. ft. We recommend early viewing to fully appreciate this rare opportunity.

Wells-next-the-Sea

Wonderful Wells-next-the-Sea beckons with its sandy beach and charming candy-striped huts, drawing day trippers and holidaymakers. However, it offers much more for those considering it as a permanent residence.

Explore the surrounding waterways aboard Coastal Exploration Company’s wooden sailing boats or try stand-up paddle-boarding with Barefoot SUP for an active adventure.

Behind the bustling harbour, seek out sought-after fishermen’s cottages or apartments with sea views in converted buildings. Further afield, discover spacious grand houses and new-build developments ideal for families and downsizers. The town boasts a lively community with schools, a GP surgery, and a library.

Delve into culture at Wells Maltings, a heritage centre with a theatre, cinema, gallery, and café-bar. Browse local galleries like The Staithe Gallery, Gallery Plus, and Quay Art for unique artwork. Explore Nomad and the Bowerbird for homewares, Christopher William Country for country clothing, and Ele and Me for eco-friendly children’s items. For culinary delights, visit Arthur Howell’s traditional butcher or The Real Ale Shop at Branthill Farm.

Dine at The Globe Inn or Crown Hotel for meals overlooking the green, or indulge at Michelin-starred Morston Hall. For a simpler pleasure, enjoy fish and chips from French’s on the harbour wall as the sun sets over the water.
