An exceptional coastal position with uninterrupted views across to Blakeney Point.
Wildacre is an exceptional coastal opportunity. It is not often that a house can boast genuine panoramic views of the North Norfolk coastline, on the edge of a village whilst providing plenty of space to enjoy a coastal lifestyle with provision for boats, kayaks, vehicles and of course a substantial house. It is a plot and property of significant potential.
Built towards the end of the 1960s, Wildacre was designed to maximise the position overlooking this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A first floor sitting room is an excellent example of this, to take in the views, with sliding glazed doors out to a spacious balcony. The principal bedroom is also well positioned to wake up to the incredible views, with a direct view out to the coastline through floor to ceiling glazing. This bedroom also has a balcony to the south elevation which is private and sheltered.
With a total of over 2600 sq ft of living space, the house has a great adaptability and functionality. An open plan kitchen/breakfast room is spacious, with French doors out to the south facing terrace and gardens behind the house, with adjoining dining room. There is a future proofing ground floor bedroom, with en suite wet room, with the ability to use the snug as a further bedroom if required due to an adjoining shower room. A study is at the front of the house, and there is the tantalising option of an integral double garage that could be incorporated into the house. On the first floor, with the sitting room and principal bedroom with en suite shower room, are a further two bedrooms and family bathroom. All bedrooms are double rooms and all have either views of the coast or private gardens.
The house has been within the same family for over 25 years, and has been well maintained but would now benefit from updating.
Gardens and grounds
The property has a good balance of garden and house, with the house set well back from the road in the middle of the plot. A private drive sweeps up to the house, with a parking and turning area for many cars and boats. To the front of the house is an expanse of lawn, mature shrubs and mature hedged boundaries.
A generous south facing garden is entirely private, with a paved terrace running the width of the house providing a delightfully sheltered area for outside dining and entertaining. An extended area of the terrace can be enjoyed, leading out to the lawns which stretch away to a wooded area and onto further lawn and greenhouses. There are fine trees including walnut and flowering cherry. To the east of the house is a useful outbuilding and further lawn.
View payable Stamp Duty for this property
This is a view that never fails to stir some sort of emotion. Whether on a grey overcast day, snowing or blazing sunshine, it never fails to grab attention.
