Property description & features
- Two Semi Detached Victorian Cottages
- Sea and Countryside Views
- Six Bedrooms
- Private, Enclosed Garden
- Short Walk from Brancaster Beach
- Outbuildings
- Exciting Potential for Extension
Entering at the back of Number 1, via the rear courtyard, on the ground floor the original cottage has a kitchen/dining room at the back and a living room to the front with a more recent addition of an adjoining downstairs bathroom.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms - two doubles and a single - and it is from this upper floor that you can really appreciate the position of this cottage. Most coastal views in north Norfolk are over marshland but here you look out and across the RSPB nature reserve directly onto the coast line where the tide rolls in over pristine sand.
Number 2 has a kitchen/dining room at the back and a living room to the front with a more recent addition of an adjoining downstairs bathroom. There is also a small further addition of a room that has provided for a home office at the back of the house.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms - two doubles and a single - enjoying the same stunning views as Number 1.
To the rear of each cottage is an outbuilding which was once the wash house, coal store and outdoor privy but could easily be connected to the main house to provide extra living space. Not only this but the width of the plot allows for a substantial side extension (subject to the usual planning consents) and the north facing garden feels very private.
Both houses have been let on an assured tenancy for many years and are now in need of a complete refurbishment throughout. However, these cottages have enormous potential for someone with vision and imagination to create an amazing coastal home, and those stunning views will never change.
TITCHWELL Home to one of the finest RSPB bird reserves in Great Britain, Titchwell is a small coastal hamlet on the A149 coastal road between the two popular villages of Brancaster and Thornham. The Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve is blessed with diverse habitats such as reedbeds, saltmarsh and fresh water lagoons. There is also a wide sandy beach offering extensive views across the Wash. Covering 515 acres, you can see dunlin, ruffs, ringed plovers, kingfishers, godwits, curlews and several types of terns. You may even be lucky enough to see and hear a bittern or see a marsh harrier 'sky dancing'.
There are two hotels in Titchwell, Titchwell Manor and Briarfields, both with good restaurants, and the extremely popular Thornham restaurant, The Orange Tree is around two miles away.
The church of St Mary the Virgin is a medieval parish church dating back to the 11th century and is situated next to the marsh on the north Norfolk coast. A beautiful feature of this church is its round tower built with local flints.
Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques – there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, which is located just over five miles away.
A refined elegance permeates every aspect of village life, from the traditional homewares found at Uttings, the locals 'go-to' for household essentials, to sampling tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop – this is a place to savour the finer things. Eating out is also a joy with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights.
Between Titchwell and the various surrounding coastal villages, you'll never have to travel far for amenities and you most certainly won't be short on beautiful locations to explore.
