Selling agents Brown&Co said: “Church Cottage has been lovingly restored following a meticulous renovation by the current owners, who acquired the property in 2020, having previously been in the same family for over 25 years."
Originally built in 1859 and with later additions, the cottage boasts unique accommodation with a great deal of character including distinctive Victorian architecture, two fireplaces, sash windows and original floorboards.
The four-bedroom coastal property is approached from the front and opens into an entrance hall with access to a shower room and an inner hall that adjoins the formal dining room, a useful utility and the kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen is light and airy with terracotta tiled flooring and handmade Shaker-style units with wood work tops. It also includes an integrated hob and cooker appliances, and space for a dining table in the centre for relaxed family meals.
Connected to this room is a garden room that leads into the garden, and steps on the other side of the kitchen take you into the sitting room, which has a lovely log burner as the focal point, as well as wood flooring and big sash windows.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to four bedrooms, three of which are doubles and two with fitted wardrobes. The larger bedrooms enjoy views over the gardens and swimming pool and there is a good-sized family bathroom positioned off the landing.
Outside, Church Cottage is approached off Black Street near the centre of Winterton-on-Sea and has a shingled driveway to the front with parking for a number of vehicles. Lovely views of the Holy Trinity and All Saints Church can be enjoyed in the grounds.
The charming side and rear gardens have been lovingly cared for and provide a great deal of privacy from neighbouring properties. To the side of Church Cottage is a kitchen garden with raised beds and two sheds for storing all of your gardening gadgets.
A terrace wraps around the property to the south, providing space for outdoor seating or dining, and overlooks the good-sized swimming pool, which is fully enclosed by picket fencing and has been fully restored by the current owners.
Also included in the sale of Church Cottage are two outbuildings, which sit at the front of the house. They are both constructed of brick and flint under a pantile roof and, currently, one is used as a store while the other acts as a wonderful open studio space with a beamed ceiling and an exposed feature wall.
Both outbuildings could be converted, subject to the necessary planning consent, and used in a range of ways such as office space, secondary accommodation or even a home gym. There is also a smaller brick and flint outbuilding that is used for additional storage.
Winterton-on-Sea lies on the northeast Norfolk coast and boasts a beautiful sandy beach backed by dunes - a national nature reserve. There is also a variety of local amenities including a post office/newsagent, general store, fish and chip shop, café, pub and a holiday centre with a restaurant and bar that is also open to locals.
