As you walk into the main living area of this Grade-II listed townhouse, we're pretty sure that it'll be the view out of the window that first grabs your attention. From this excellent vantage point, you can see the windswept sea and sands of Cromer Beach stretching on for miles. However, when you manage to finally prise yourself away from this panorama, you'll notice that the home's interior is pretty impressive, too. Neutral walls and floors in washed-out shades lend the feel of a beach hut, but the decor is livened up by several knowingly retro touches, such as the brown leather dining chairs and the burnt orange fridge. There might be squabbles as to who gets one of the two four-poster beds, but the other bedrooms are just as tastefully appointed. As you can probably infer from the view, the beach and pier don't take long to reach — about three minutes on foot to be precise — while you can also get to Felbrigg Hall and Gardens in six minutes by car.

About Cromer
The clifftop town of Cromer rises up grandly from the shore, and is characterised by its pastel-coloured Georgian homes, the fifteenth-century Cromer Parish Church and the Grade II-listed Hotel de Paris. A host of refined hotels and homes make this an elegant place to stay.
