As you step through the front door, you are immediately transported to a bygone era. The entrance hall, with its original tiled flooring that sweeps gracefully to the grand stairway, sets a tone of sophistication and charm. The home has been meticulously maintained, with many original features intact, including a fully operational bell system, exquisite stained-glass windows, and multiple bay windows that fill the spaces with natural light.
Downstairs, the property boasts multiple reception rooms, each radiating character and warmth. Two of these rooms feature large bay windows, inviting the outside in. One of these rooms is complemented by a conservatory, which overlooks the side garden, providing a serene spot to enjoy the surrounding greenery. The downstairs also offers the potential for additional bedrooms, catering to a variety of living arrangements.
Upstairs, you will find nine bedrooms, most equipped with their own sinks, adding to the practicality and charm of the home. These rooms, currently configured for convent use, offer tremendous flexibility-they could easily be reimagined into larger, luxurious bedrooms or retained as they are for a large family or communal living. All bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Outside, the grandeur continues. A carriage driveway offers ample off-street parking, overlooked by a balcony between two bedrooms and leads to a single detached garage. The rear garden is remarkably spacious for the area, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle, while the side garden, mainly laid to lawn, enhances the sense of tranquillity.
Living here is more than just owning a property; it's about becoming a part of history. This home, with its generous proportions, original features, and exceptional potential, offers a unique opportunity to create a truly special living space. Whether you envision a grand family home or a boutique guesthouse, this Victorian masterpiece is ready to welcome its next chapter. Do not miss your chance to own a piece of Hunstanton's heritage.
HUNSTANTON Who wouldn't want a place by the sea? Hunstanton, a traditional, unspoilt coastal town, is perfect for a beach walk and a fish and chip supper. For residents, this Victorian gem offers even more.
Founded in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a Victorian Gothic bathing resort, Hunstanton thrived with the railway from King's Lynn, becoming a top day-trip destination. Today, holidaymakers flock to Searles Leisure Resort, enjoy boat trips on the Wash Monster, fairground rides, and traditional arcades. The Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s for Lady Diana Spencer, hosts live performances, films, and seasonal pantos. Golf enthusiasts can play mini-golf, pitch & putt, and the renowned Links course in Old Hunstanton.
Facing west across The Wash, "Sunny Hunny" is famous for its sunsets. Summer evenings are perfect for watching the sun set from the green, beach, or Victorian squares. Impressive Victorian and Edwardian properties line these squares, alongside contemporary homes, apartments, and senior living accommodations. Education options include a primary and secondary school (Smithdon High, a Grade II listed building), and Glebe House School, a co-educational prep school. Amenities feature a GP surgery, post office, leisure pool, and gym at The Oasis, overlooking the sea.
Local shopping includes Tesco, Sainsbury's, and a Lidl nearby in Heacham, along with a fantastic local greengrocer and award-winning deli. Dining options range from full English breakfasts to afternoon tea at Berni Beans and relaxing at wine bar Chives.
Hunstanton attracts young families, professionals, and retirees seeking a slower pace of life. Discover why this charming town is the perfect coastal retreat.
