2 bedroom apartment for sale

The Property

Dormy House is a wonderful period building dating back to 1896. Originally a hotel, designed to compliment the prestigious Brancaster golf club, the building has since been reinvented to provide 18 individual apartments.

18 Dormy House is one of the largest apartments and occupies a lovely ground floor position with its own private low maintenance garden and direct access out to the lane behind. The apartment has been completely renovated to provide luxury accommodation, incorporating two double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, a beautiful open plan kitchen / dining / living space, a further cosy sitting room, boot room / utility room and a family bathroom. The apartment is tastefully decorated in neutral tones, carpeted throughout and finished to an exceptional standard.

You can enter the apartment either from the main house or through its own main door from the private garden. From the main door, you arrive in the open plan living area. This lovely room has been cleverly styled to create defined spaces, to relax in the sitting room, to cook and to dine.

The sitting room area is orientated to benefit from the natural light pouring in from the large window looking out to the private garden beyond, with an electric wood effect fire surrounded by a mantelpiece. The dining area is immediately behind the sitting area and beyond that is the smart, newly fitted kitchen.

The kitchen comprises wall and base units, a solid oak worktop and integrated high end appliances, including double oven & grill, induction hob, stylish extractor hood, dishwasher, under counter fridge and large larder cupboard.

Beyond the kitchen is a charming, flexible room that is currently used a cosy TV snug but could easily be styled as a home office or even further sleeping accommodation.

This leads on to the utility / boot room, fully fitted with bespoke cupboards and units to maximise storage and elegantly hide the washing machine and tumble dryer. Here is where you will find the large fridge freezer. From here you can enter or leave the apartment into the main building.

Both bedrooms are arranged off a central hallway off the open plan sitting rooms. Bedroom one is a lovely room, with natural light coming from above through the newly fitted lantern, which has blinds to ensure an uninterrupted nights sleep. There are bespoke, mirrored, fitted wardrobes and shelving.

Across from bedroom one is the family bathroom. Again, newly fitted with Moroccan inspired vinyl flooring, a bath with mains pressure drench shower over, WC, wash hand basin and a heated towel rail.

The second bedroom suite, is another double room, with a window out to the private garden beyond and a lovely shower room, with large walk-in enclosure and drench shower, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

The communal gardens are beautifully kept, with a selection of seating areas for residents to enjoy and benefit from a stunning view over the saltmarsh to the beach and golf club beyond.
