Yasumi is a Japanese word for a break or holiday and so it’s a fitting name for this stunning, four-bedroom coastal home in Brancaster, King’s Lynn, which is currently on the market at a guide price of £1.6 million.

After a thorough extension and development project in 2019, the property now enjoys open-plan living accommodation with some lovely rustic touches, as well as landscaped gardens and a high-quality finish. It is currently on the market with Savills, with viewings strictly by appointment.
Property agent Ben Rivett, joint head of residential sales at Savills in Norfolk, said: “Yasumi is the perfect example of a contemporary coastal home. Luxurious interiors, open-plan and cosy, very manageable, all within walking distance of the beach – I love the lifestyle opportunities it presents.
“Calming and comfortable, every detail has been carefully considered. It is big enough to accommodate drinks and dinner parties, either large or small, or to host a holidaying family, yet equally well-suited to couples without feeling that space is not being utilised.”
The open-plan kitchen/dining/living area acts as the heart of the home, with the bespoke kitchen area incorporating a Lacanche cooker, Fisher & Paykel appliances and a large island unit which divides the kitchen from the dining area.
Floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors on both the east and west of the room allow in lots of natural light and the living area includes a modern woodburner, all combining to create a practical and stylish space that is suited to cosy nights in and warm summer days.
A cosy sitting room is found at the rear in the original part of the house. It blends fresh modern touches with period beams and a woodburner and is connected to the main living space via a hall with stairs to the first floor.
There is also a study to the front of the house that could be converted into a bedroom if required and a useful walk-in pantry with wine fridges and a utility room with fitted cabinetry are found elsewhere on the ground floor.
Yasumi’s first floor hosts three double bedrooms. The stunning principal bedroom is a real highlight with vaulted ceilings, dressing area, feature free-standing bath, en suite shower room and a large Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There are also two good-sized family bathrooms.
“The beautifully landscaped gardens are also a defining feature,” adds Ben Rivett. “Designed with ease of maintenance in mind, yet still aesthetically pleasing.”
The gardens combine hard paving and resin-bound shingle paths with simple border planting and steel containers. Mature olive trees, lavender, grasses and cypress trees create a Mediterranean feel and a water feature at the centre creates a multi-sensory space.
At one end of the garden is a covered dining area that is enclosed on three sides and heated, making it perfect for alfresco dining, while the east of the house is home to a further paved area with seating and steps leading up to a parking area, which has space for cars and a boat. It also includes EV charging points and is protected by electric gates.
Yasumi is located on Mill Road, just a short walk from Brancaster’s lovely beach and the shops, pubs and facilities in the village.
