About this property
If you are after an uninterrupted sea view, and have always wanted to fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves, look no further. Sunset, a fabulous coastal retreat in Overstrand, offers stylish and contemporary upside down living that maximises the magnificent cliff top views. With a private gate that opens from the landscaped gardens straight onto the coastal path, this hideaway is an absolute winner.
You will find Sunset peacefully tucked away at the end of a private unmade road, just off the road to the beach; it's detached, rather striking and sits just behind the coastal path that runs along the cliffs above the sea. It also backs onto The Royal Cromer Golf Course, so makes a popular choice for keen golfers. Built in the 1930s, the house was upgraded in recent years to a smart modern house with open-plan living on the first floor, where the addition of bi-fold doors opening onto a glazed balcony terrace really emphasises your closeness to the sea - you can not only hear it but also taste its saltiness from the comfort of your armchair. Who needs a television with that view but, of course, there is one, and it's Smart with Sky too, as well as all the other mod cons and comforts to complete your holiday - a fully fitted well-equipped kitchen and adjoining dining area - along with the convenience of an upstairs cloakroom. The sleeping accommodation is all on the ground floor. Three individually designed bedrooms (a private master king-size suite, with doors to the garden, a further king-size and a double room), along with a shower room. There's a very spacious utility room downstairs too, with laundry facilities and cloakroom off, handy for when you come in from a day on the beach. The landscaped garden that meanders down to the coastal path is a lovely place to spend a quiet afternoon relaxing and reading - you can retire to the summerhouse if there's a keen sea breeze or if it's a tad too warm to sit out - and equally to share a bottle of wine as the sun goes down. The handy garage is available for storing golf bags, bikes and beach gear.
Sunset is undoubtedly a very special holiday destination, that will be enjoyed by all; couples and friends, as well as families and, once visited, we feel sure you will return again and again. Overstrand is a peaceful and rather elegant coastal village just a few miles south of Cromer, and has the benefit of a soft sandy beach, excellent local amenities, a popular beach top cafe and fresh seafood shop - all within a short walking distance. Stretch your legs and take the scenic coastal path to Cromer, which passes by the links of Cromer's prestigious Golf Club. Arriving in Cromer, you can choose to take a stroll around the shops, grab a coffee and watch the world go by and perhaps take a seat on the pier. Or maybe treat yourself to a fresh crab sandwich or fish and chips at Number One (the best!), and then meander slowly back along the beach at low tide.

S family
Wow! Fourth visit to Sunset for us and it was just as amazing. We were so lucky with the weather so we enjoyed the spectacular views. This house is perfect for our family break together. It had everything we needed. We all find the beds really comfy and we had some blackout blinds with us. We enjoyed The Blue Sky cafe in Cromer, Mundesley golf, Wells-next-the-Sea, Holt and Pensthorpe. We had a lovely walk out the back and into Cromer. We all feel very relaxed after a lovely week and are looking at dates to return for a fifth stay! We all want to stay here longer. Thank you for another perfect base for our week away together. We made more great memories and will be back next year, but now it's time to return to London / Northampton. See you next year. Looking forward to the beautiful view and relaxing time already!!

Very comfortable house with all mod cons. White Horse nearby is recommended. Good beers and food. Spectacular views from the house but somewhat restricted when the weather is bad. Six out of seven days for us were unfortunately wet, windy with restricted views. However to have such a comfortable house meant it was easy to relax. House very clean and would love to return in the summer so as to use the garden room etc. Thank you.

The A family
Thank you so much for a wonderful family holiday. We have loved the balcony, the view, playing in the garden, being on the beach, the playground and having a week in an 'upside down house'. We had a great family day at BeWilderwood and at Pettits. The Children's Book Centre in Alby was excellent and Wroxham Miniature World was great fun. Thank you for an amazing week at Sunset, a beautiful place for a holiday.
