8 Heath Lane Mundesley | Norfolk | NR11 8JP THE COAST WITH THE MOST

“A beautiful and elegant Edwardian abode, elevated from the road and standing proud and tall, this property is so well proportioned and light - if you want a family home, this one has it all! Within a year-round community with schools, shops and more, there’s something for all ages here. Just a five-minute stroll from a glorious sandy beach, the appeal of the setting is abundantly clear!”

• An impressive Family Residence, circa 1911, situated in the Coastal Village of Mundesley • Four Bedrooms; Three Bathrooms • Two Receptions • Spacious Open Plan Breakfast Kitchen with Separate Utility • Original Character can be found throughout including both Feature and Working Fireplaces, Archways, Parquet Flooring and Lead Light Windows • Single Garage; Additional Parking • Enclosed Gardens; Elevated Position affords Wonderful Views • The Accommodation extends to 2,007sq.ft • Energy Rating: E A stone’s throw from one of the best beaches in the area, but on the outskirts of the village well away from the tourists, this home offers the best of coastal living. Mundesley is a well-served and active village and is also well positioned from which to explore the coast, the Broads and the countryside across this beautiful area. Getting It Right This has been home to the owners for over 25 years and they have raised their three children here. “We always loved the village and when we found this, we knew it was perfect. You’re part of the community and have so much to enjoy right on the doorstep being so close to the beach, but you’re also just down the road from the school,” they confirm. The house is raised up from the road to make the most of the position and surrounded by its own gardens. Thought to date back to 1911, the property has the excellent proportions and large windows of the Edwardian era, as well as other features such as beautiful fireplaces, parquet flooring and feature arches. Sunny And Sociable As a family home, this has been large enough to accommodate five with ease and the layout has worked brilliantly. There are two main reception rooms, which the owners have found to be a real boon: “As the children grew older, they wanted to have their own space, so we would have one sitting room and they could be in the other,” they explain. The larger of the two is perfect for big gatherings and social occasions, while the second one leads off the kitchen and could also be used for formal dining. The owners have chosen to use the lovely conservatory as their dining room so they can enjoy views over the garden while they eat. There’s a second conservatory to the front of the house and the owners often sit out there in winter – even when it’s very cold outside, this gets lovely and warm as soon as the sun comes out. Another suntrap is the balcony to one side of the house on the first floor: “You can’t beat relaxing out here on a summer’s day!” Everything On Hand Being up a small incline, you have a nice outlook from here and the garden is a good size too. It’s completely enclosed and very safe if you have young children or dogs. The little loke to one side means it’s easy to get out and about on foot – from the house you can walk to the school in just a minute and over to the village centre or to the beach in five minutes. The sands here are beautiful – it was named the Best Blue Flag Beach in Britain in 2016. The village also benefits from a golf club which is on the up, with a driving range close to the house. Older children can hop on a bus for high school or college, while there are also regular buses into North Walsham for the shops, station and more. One of the things the owners most love about Mundesley is the fact that while it is popular in summer, it also has a strong, year-round community, so it definitely feels like home. In winter, you can have the beach to yourself, while all year you can enjoy excellent walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside.
