SITUATION

The highly sought-after village of Brancaster sits in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the north Norfolk coast. It is home to the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club and miles of beautiful sandy beach. There are an array of fantastic activities on the doorstep, including bird watching at the reserves of nearby Titchwell and Holme; wonderful coastal walks, cycling, interesting historic houses such as Sandringham and Holkham to explore - and many water-based pursuits to enjoy. Brancaster Staithe is a short drive or a 20-minute walk away. It has a natural harbour from which picturesque tidal creeks wind their way out to Scolt Head Island Nature Reserve. The island is easily accessible by kayak, canoe or paddleboard as well as larger craft, and a regular ferry runs from Burnham Overy Staithe, a little further down the coast.

In Brancaster, The Ship Inn is a two-minute walk from Staithe House, and there is also a shop and post office in the village. To the east, in Brancaster Staithe, famous pub The White Horse is an ever-popular destination for stunning Norfolk sunsets and marsh side dining. Closer to the harbour, The Jolly Sailor, with its fabulous beer garden and playground is a very popular choice for families. The larger village of Thornham (a 7-minute drive west from the house) boasts two pubs, a fabulous deli and the vibrant Drove Orchard, offering up a wealth of shopping and eating opportunities. The pretty village of Ringstead is another fantastic destination and the local pub The Gin Trap is known for its vast selection of artisan gins and some of the best food in the area.

Five miles to the south, the well-known town of Burnham Market is pretty as a picture, packed with attractive Georgian properties running along the edge of the village green. Here you will find an eclectic selection of art galleries, designer homeware and clothing boutiques and more traditional shops including a butcher, a fishmonger, wine merchant and deli. Award-winning restaurant Socius is located here and is well worth a visit!

The Coasthopper bus runs from the main road at the bottom of the drive to Hunstanton/Kings Lynn and Wells/Fakenham in the opposite direction. The nearest railway service is twenty-two miles to the southwest at Kings Lynn with mainline services to Cambridge and London Kings Cross.

DESCRIPTION

Staithe House is a beautifully proportioned double fronted property of brick and chalk construction. The formal entrance has a spacious porch which leads directly into the large open plan hallway and sitting room. However, the current owners use the less formal side door to enter the house on a day-to-day basis. This door leads into a utility/boot room with fitted units, a sink and plumbing for a fridge, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is ample room here for coat and boot storage. From the utility room, there is a door leading into a small downstairs WC/shower room, and another door enabling access to the double garage.

The large traditional farmhouse-style kitchen is at the south side of the house and benefits from two substantial windows in the left wall, bringing in lots of natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted wooden cabinets under granite worktops and a large island unit, perfect for preparing meals. There is a four-oven midnight blue Aga (oil fired) and a double butler’s sink, which looks out over the garden. Integrated appliances include an undercounter fridge and a Neff dishwasher. There is plenty of space in the kitchen for a generous-sized dining table and chairs.

From the kitchen, a doorway leads into the open plan sitting room. The current owners have created a classic cosy country living room around the modern wood burning stove. From the sitting room, double doors open into a sun-lit garden room which provides a wonderful additional living or playroom area. There is a further reception room (currently used as a formal dining room) which could easily be adapted into a great family snug. Overall, this fantastic open plan area, with its multiple adjoining rooms, gives the incoming purchaser tremendous flexibility to adapt the space to individual taste and requirements.

Also located on the ground floor is a guest WC and two bedrooms, the smaller of which would work well as a home office. The larger bedroom has ample room for a king-sized bed and has the advantage of an en suite bathroom.

The upstairs bedrooms are accessed via an attractive open tread staircase to the first-floor landing, off which lie three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a southerly aspect, looking out over the garden and the field beyond. This bedroom has fitted wardrobes, cupboards and shelves, and an en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms on this level, both of which are generously proportioned and which have expansive fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom has a pedestal sink and large shower. All the upstairs rooms have lovely views of farmland, or village views with glimpses of the sea.

The loft space across all areas of the house offers plenty of scope for potential conversion into further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.
__________

OUTSIDE

Staithe House sits in an elevated position at the top of this small development, with a walled enclosed gravel area at the front of the house. There is ample parking for at least four cars, and easy access to the double garage which has been laid with a substantial tile floor. Waist height wooden gates at either side of the house allow access on foot into the garden, which is laid to lawn. The garden is fenced, with a hawthorn hedge separating it from the field beyond. As it is south facing, the garden is flooded with warmth and light on a sunny day and further benefits from a west facing summer house, offering the perfect spot for an evening sundowner.

Staithe House has been under the same ownership since it was built, 24 years ago. A house of this calibre in such an excellent location is rare to the market within the village. The house exudes an inviting and welcoming atmosphere, is full of charm and character and is bursting with potential. It would make a great family or second home. Viewing is highly recommended.
