Stepping inside, you’re transported to a bygone era, with the entrance hall – reminiscent of Nonnatus House in BBC programme Call the Midwife – displaying an original tiled floor and grand stairway. 

The historic property has been well maintained and has many original features, including stunning stained glass windows, multiple bay windows and a fully operational bell system.

Sowerbys said: “These rooms, currently configured for convent use, offer tremendous flexibility – they could easily be reimagined into larger, luxurious bedrooms or retained as they are for a large family or communal living.” 

There’s also a family bathroom on the first floor, with a bath, shower cubicle, hand wash basin and toilet. 

Outside, a carriage driveway offering plenty of off-street parking leads to a single detached garage.

The garden, which is to the side and rear of the property, is mainly lawn, with mature trees and a range of flowering plants. 

The property is situated at the heart of Hunstanton, which was founded in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a Victorian bathing resort.
