4 bedroom detached house for sale

Accessed via a private road, and commanding uninterrupted panoramic views across the North Norfolk coastline, Pond Cottage occupies what is undoubtedly one of the most enviable positions along the entire coast.

Positioned centrally within a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres (STMS), this is a home that has been cherished, enjoyed and thoughtfully arranged to make the very most of its remarkable setting.

The approach immediately hints at the sense of privacy and space that defines the property. Inside, the layout is both practical and welcoming. The large kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the house, a wonderfully sociable space with coastal views to one end and garden views to the other. A separate utility and pantry lead neatly off the kitchen, ensuring everyday living is as functional as it is enjoyable.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen/dining room, the equally generous sitting room mirrors this dual aspect, with expansive views towards the coast and french doors opening onto the beautifully planned and tended south-facing rear garden. Whether watching the ever-changing skies in winter or opening the doors to let the summer breeze drift through, these principal rooms are perfectly oriented to embrace their surroundings.

The ground floor also provides three comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a walk-in dressing area and an en-suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom. An attractive cast iron staircase rises from the dining room to an additional first-floor room, a magical elevated vantage point with breathtaking views across the coastline. Currently used as an occasional twin bedroom, it offers flexibility as guest accommodation, studio, working-from-home office space, or simply a place to sit and watch the tide roll in.

Outside, the lifestyle on offer truly comes into its own. Gated off-street parking and a large garage sit to one side, while at the coastal edge of the garden a detached boat shed is perfectly positioned for launching directly onto a high tide, an exceptional feature for sailing enthusiasts.

The house sits centrally within its grounds, creating two distinct gardens. To the front, a mature rose garden, with screened off raised bed vegetable garden, provides direct access onto the Coastal Path, inviting daily walks along this spectacular stretch of shoreline. To the rear, the fully south-facing garden has clearly been a labour of love. From the large greenhouse (accessed directly from the utility room) to the small orchard, raised beds and walk-in fruit cage, this is a garden straight from the pages of The Good Life. For those with green fingers, the opportunity to continue this self-sufficient lifestyle is ready and waiting.

Pond Cottage has served as a much-loved main home for many years, evident in its careful maintenance and thoughtful enjoyment. For anyone drawn to the beauty of the North Norfolk coast, its vast skies, shifting light and sense of freedom, this is an exceptional opportunity to embrace coastal living in its purest form, all year round.
