2 Bedroom Cottage for sale in West Runton

Location West Runton is a highly sought-after coastal village on the beautiful North Norfolk coast, perfectly positioned between the National Trust woodland of Roman Camp and the sandy shoreline. Just two miles from the vibrant seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer, the village enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining close to a wide range of amenities.

The village itself offers excellent day-to-day facilities, including local shops, a post office, popular restaurants, the Links Hotel and Golf Course, and a church, all contributing to its strong sense of community. A particular highlight is West Runton Beach, renowned for its natural beauty and designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, featuring the largest chalk reef in Europe and famous for the discovery of the West Runton Mammoth.

Ideal for those seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle, the area offers scenic coastal walks, sea air, and easy access to neighbouring seaside attractions. West Runton benefits from excellent transport links, with a regular train service and bus routes along the A149 connecting to nearby towns and Norwich.

Close by, Sheringham provides a comprehensive range of amenities including schools for all ages, medical and dental practices, a theatre, leisure centre, library, supermarkets, and a variety of independent boutiques, cafés, and shops-making this an exceptional location for both permanent living and coastal retreats. 

Description This charming semi-detached cottage is ideally positioned just a short walk from local shops, transport links, and the beach, offering the perfect blend of coastal convenience and village living. Forming part of a small and exclusive development of sympathetically converted buildings, the property was originally part of the historic Runton Hill School, adding character and a sense of heritage.

The accommodation is well-presented and thoughtfully arranged, comprising an entrance hall with an attractive tiled floor, a bright south-facing sitting room, and a modern open-plan kitchen/dining room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Further benefits include a ground floor cloakroom, two first-floor bedrooms, and a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys off-road parking for two vehicles, a garage, and an appealing rear courtyard garden, providing a private outdoor space perfect for relaxing after a day at the coast. Additional features include gas central heating and uPVC double-glazed windows.

Having been successfully used as both a holiday let and most recently as a long-term rental, the property offers excellent investment potential, while equally suiting those seeking a permanent home, a coastal retreat, or a charming pied-à-terre by the sea.
