SITUATION

The small village of Morston is situated with an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty right on the coast and offers direct access to Blakeney Pit which is the largest sheltered harbour on the North Norfolk Coast.

This area is famous for its wildlife all year round – spectacular wildfowl in the winter, nesting terns in the summer, and large colonies of grey and common seals all year round with many seal watching trips leaving from the quay.

Sailing and boating are popular in this large area of sheltered water when the tide is in. Long walks and spectacular views are available all year round. Morston is also home to a pretty parish church, the fabulous Michelin-starred Morston Hall, and the popular Morston Anchor pub.

The neighbouring village of Blakeney is within walking distance, this is a year-round lively village, as well as a holiday destination and offers a wide variety of shops including a fishmonger & delicatessen, pubs and restaurants, a fine parish church, tennis courts, playing field, and a primary school.

The picturesque market town of Holt is a short drive away and is renowned for its attractive street frontages, Greshams Schools and a wide range of independent shops and boutiques.
There is a buzz in the air as the region enjoys everything on offer from locally sourced butchers, fishmongers and farmers markets to artisan bakers, cool coffee shops, restaurants, delicatessens, up-market farm shops and art galleries.

The kitchen is located on the east side of the house, fitted with a range of built in wooden cabinets under composite worktops it benefits from a 2- oven electric Aga and separate electric oven. It has plenty of space for a table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen, the utility/’boot room is of generous size with further built in storage cupboards, sink and space/ plumbing for a freestanding washing machine and undercounter fridge. This room has a back door, making it an ideal entrance for muddy boots and dogs. The kitchen, utility, and rear reception room all benefit from pamment flooring.

At this end of the house the previous owners converted half of the integral garage into a further reception room with French doors leading out to the garden and terrace. The rest of the garage is still suitable for a car or storage and benefits from an electric up and over door.

It has a spacious nicely fitted en suite shower room with white sanitaryware, a large shower cubicle and heated towel rail.

There are two further double bedrooms on this level both with views out over the garden to the harbour and a single on the south side with church views. These rooms share a spacious family bathroom.

Steep stairs lead up again to a loft room which has a great coastal view and would be a good space for a home office. Two big loft storage rooms lead off this room.
