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.

    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.

    We have enjoyed our third visit to this lovely house and location. The weather has been great. We have seen some beautiful sunsets. We joined our family again and have had a lovely time with them all and memories to keep.I enjoyed running around your lovely lounge and having my nap looking out to sea. I enjoyed splashing in the sea this year. (R, aged 2.5yrs)I liked coming back to my room with the stained glass window. I collected rocks from the beach and coloured them in. I recommend the biscoffe brownie at The White Horse. (M aged 9.5yrs).We've had a lovely family holiday for the third year running. The weather has been great and we have been able to access the beach, shop and pub without needing to use the car. We have some fantastic photos of the sunset and beach. The fish and chip shop 'Roughton' is good for a late tea after the beach.

    Second time we have stayed here. Both times have been excellent. Everything provided for a great holiday.Only thing that I would mention is the main bedroom door and toilet have plain see through glass in them which is little bit awkward if someone comes in to the room. And as I have Parkinson’s a feel a hand support could be put in the showers.But apart from these two things everyone had a lovely holiday and we shall be booking again soon.
