Travelling along the north Norfolk coast, it would be hard not to recognise the iconic Wells-next-the-Sea for all of its beauty. Over twenty years ago the amenities were somewhat different, Carnival Week and Christmas Tide have expanded to become major events.

Tunns Yard was built on the site of a local maltings, situated just a short stroll from the quay and the property has been in our vendors' ownership for a number of years. Therefore it is no surprise our vendors have loved their visits over a significant number of years. The house has been beautifully modernised and extended to include a bay frontage to all three floors, ensuring a light and easy to maintain property.

The accommodation includes a delightful modernised kitchen/breakfast room and a well-proportioned sitting room where the bay window allows space for the dining room suite. The interior oak doors complement the modernised oak and glass staircases. Over the first and second floors there are four bedrooms, served by three modernised bathrooms. It's not difficult to see why our vendors have chosen the second floor bedroom as the principal, given they love to sit in the bay window and look over the quay and out to sea.

The outside space provides a landscaped, low maintenance garden to the rear, complemented by a summerhouse and off-road parking.

Our vendors have enjoyed the property as a weekend home, where there is an active community carrying out a variety of interests. They have appreciated the opening of the Wells Maltings, indulging in its films, shows and live entertainment. They also take pleasure in a walk to the neighbouring village of Holkham with its stately hall, exploring the parkland with its deer and often stop for a bite to eat in the restaurant.

As we seek a new custodian for the property, there are new memories to create in a clean, modern and practical house and all of its surroundings that have been best enjoyed for so many years. 

WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA Wonderful Wells! With its sandy beach and pretty candy-striped huts, it's easy to understand why this sleepy coastal town is a Mecca for day trippers and holiday makers, but there are plenty of reasons to make Wells-next-the-Sea your permanent home and explore this sweet spot forever.

There are plenty of ways to explore the waterways that surround the area. For a nautical adventure, jump aboard one of the Coastal Exploration Company's traditional wooden sailing boats and adventure hidden creeks, marshes and open sea. Or test your balance with a stand-up paddleboarding session with Barefoot SUP.

The lanes behind the harbour and surrounding the town have plenty of tucked-away fishermen's cottages which are highly sought after, as are apartments with sea views in the converted buildings overlooking the harbour. Head out of the town centre to discover plenty of spacious, grand houses along with fantastic new-build developments which are ideal for young families and downsizers alike. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.

For a hit of culture, head to Wells Maltings, an elegant heritage and community centre just off the quay which houses a theatre, cinema, gallery and café-bar. While away an afternoon browsing the town's galleries – The Staithe Gallery, Gallery Plus and Quay Art – for some artwork to adorn your home. Discover gorgeous homewares at Nomad and the Bowerbird, relaxed country clothing at Christopher William Country and eco-friendly clothing and toys for little one at Ele and Me. Traditional butcher Arthur Howell is the place locals go to for high quality meat, and you might be lucky enough to bag some freshly caught fish straight off the boat, on the harbour wall. The Real Ale Shop at nearby Branthill Farm is a must for craft beer drinkers.

Alternatively treat yourself to a delicious meal at The Globe Inn or Crown Hotel overlooking the green, or push the proverbial boat out and head to Michelin-starred Morston Hall. For a simpler, yet equally quintessential Wells experience, share a box of fish and chips from French's on the harbour wall and watch the sun slowly set over the water. Imagining yourself here already? Could this be your dream coastal home?
