Seaside village life is on your doorstep at this handsome circa. 1800 apartment perched just a five-minute walk from the vast sands of Overstrand along the East Norfolk Coast. Inside, this ground-floor regency home makes quite the first impression with its soaring ceilings and magnificent bay windows flooding the elegant living room with afternoon sunlight. A perfect seaside nest for two, the roll-top bath is a delight for a pre-dinner soak – as is the elegant bedroom with one hug of a king-sized bed. And while there’s no outdoor space to speak of, we don’t think you’ll grumble with the beach this close. With just a five-minute hop, skip, and a jump, you’ll be on its sandy shores – or perhaps a smidge longer with a pitstop at the cliff-top café along the way to grab coffee and pastries to go. For something a little heartier, the village pub won’t disappoint, neither will the 19th-century Sea Marge restaurant with lawns leading down to the sea. Then all that’s left to do is head for the beach for bracing walks that go on for miles. Or hop on a boat and explore the Broads – it’s like a trip back in time.
