Description
As one of the principal houses of Brancaster Staithe, the early Victorian Brecklands has seen the village evolve into one of the most sought after villages of the North Norfolk coast. Thanks to the current custodians, Brecklands has now also evolved to become a luxurious home that befits modern day living styles, whilst retaining the impressive exterior and presence.
The house was the subject of a thorough programme of renovation in 2020, which was all encompassing. The works included a major remodelling of rooms, new windows throughout, re-wiring and plumbing, and creation of new kitchen and bathrooms, extensions and even a bespoke staircase. The works were extensive, but also sympathetic to the house, retaining character whilst emphasising the space.
This is a very liveable house, whether entertaining and spilling out to the garden during the summer, or simply hunkering down on a cold winters evening after a walk along the coastal path. There is a great balance of open plan and cosy living, and all elements of life have been consider within the layout. The hub of the house is the kitchen, a wonderful space open plan to the dining area which opens straight out to the gardens. The kitchen, by Neptune, is complete with Everhot, an island unit with breakfast bars for informal dining, and pantry cupboard. Mellow brick weave flooring leads to the dining area, which was added in 2020 in the form of a garden room with large roof lantern and floor to ceiling french doors and glazing, with a wall of exposed flintwork. This south facing space is brilliant at absorbing family and friends. A central entrance and staircase hall leads to the notable sitting room, a further open plan space with with an initial seating area in front of a fireplace with woodburner, to a comfortable reading area with triple aspect allowing in plenty of natural light. The hall also links to the study with bespoke joinery and fireplace, a spacious TV room, and a further reception room with fireplace that could suit many uses.
Whilst there is a formal entrance, every day coming and going is via the 'practical wing'. This provides a boot area, shower room for hosing down children and dogs of sand, mud and salt, a utility room together with a plant room perfect for drying wetsuits and towels, a fitted pantry aligned with the kitchen, and a play room that could provide a further boot room. It has everything covered.
The impressive selection of six bedrooms are spread across the first and second floor, each with en suite bathroom. The bedrooms on the north front of the house enjoy coastal views, including the charming principal bedroom, with dressing area, bay window and en suite bathroom with walk-in double shower, and double sinks. The further three bedrooms on the first floor are all spacious, light and airy, with fitted wardrobes and stylish bathrooms. The second floor have two matching bedrooms, both with amazing views of the coastline from the comfort of the bed, but also from their respective balconies with glass balustrade, a great spot to take in the famous coastal sunsets. Both bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, with further storage rooms off these.
The interiors of the house have a calming palette of engineered oak flooring, mellow brick weave and neutral colours. Alongside the Neptune kitchen, there are a mixture of Neptune and Burlington sanitary ware in the bathrooms, Jim Lawrence lighting, and other high end features.
Gardens and Grounds
The entrance to Brecklands is through high panelled electric gates, onto an expansive gravelled parking and turning area, with plenty of space for vehicles and boats. This area in front of the house has established boundaries of hedge, shrubs, fence and wall providing great privacy. The gravelled areas are steel edged, with a central steel edged turning circle with box and bay topiary.
The gardens are behind the house, making the most of a south to west aspect, creating a sheltered sun trap. A paved terrace immediately adjoins the house, on a seamless level with the flooring out from the kitchen/dining area. An initial entertaining area includes a brick built pizza oven, whilst steps lead up to a further paved area for outside dining, entertaining and relaxing, this opens out to a lawn, framed by beds of lavender and box hedging, with herbaceous beds behind, together with silver birch, willow and red robin providing privacy.
The gardens are on a manageable scale, which is convenient when the coastline is on the door step, providing one vast outdoor area to enjoy.
Location
The village of Brancaster Staithe is one of the premier coastal villages of North Norfolk. The village is traditionally well known for its excellent sailing, directly from the harbour where the impressive sailing club house is positioned. Within a walk of the house are two thriving public houses. The White Horse has become a destination gastro pub & restaurant, known for its fresh seafood and events held at is marsh side bar and restaurant with stunning views of Brancaster Bay, whilst The Jolly Sailors is well known for its excellent food and local beers. The village has a fresh fish shop too.
The village is connected to Burnham Deepdale, which hosts a petrol station and supermarket, an array of shops and cafe.
The coastline is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, well world renowned bird watching at many points, not least for the migrating pink footed geese, with a network of coastal paths. The Royal West Norfolk golf course is in neighbouring Brancaster, and the area as a whole offers a plethora of gastro pubs, fine dining, leisure pursuits and retail.
