Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this charming brick and flint cottage in the heart of East Runton, a five-minute stroll to the beach and just 1.5 miles from the quintessentially British seaside town of Cromer. Incorporating a mix of original features and modern additions, snooze soundly beneath the whitewashed timber beams in the quiet bedrooms before whipping up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Spend sunny mornings in the courtyard, taking your time over a cup of coffee and a crossword puzzle until you’re ready to explore your surroundings. Ramble along the coastal path for 3 miles to Sheringham or stay local and stretch out on the nearby sands. When the day draws to a close, sample fresh seafood at a nearby eatery or jump in the car and treat yourself to a Michelin-starred meal at Morston Hall, less than a thirty-minute drive away.
