Savills' property agent Ben Rivett describes St Annes, a four-bedroom, link-detached home, as “the definition of a Happisburgh house.”
It’s positioned centrally in the village, which is famed for its red-and-white striped lighthouse, and sits elevated above the road, constructed of pretty brick and flint and full of countryside charm.
The property is Grade II listed and, according to Historic England, it was built in 1900 as a gatehouse to the neighbouring Happisburgh Manor. Both were built and designed by Arts and Crafts architect Detmar Blow.
Many of his clients were members of the British aristocracy and he was well-known for using local materials, including Norfolk reed for the thatch and local flint and pebbles.
Leaded windows and original joinery all feature inside the property’s spacious rooms, and there are two impressive fireplaces in both the sitting and dining rooms. A third reception room is currently used as a study.
The kitchen is well-fitted with a good range of cabinets, as well as solid worktops, and there is also a separate utility space.
All four bedrooms are located on the first floor and include an impressive master with an en suite shower room and three further doubles which offer fine views of the garden.
The bedrooms are connected by a single landing, and the remaining three are served by a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms also benefits from its own separate cloakroom.
Outside, the property shares a driveway with the manor but has its own area for parking.
The gardens are located mainly to the south of the house and feature a paved terrace, sweeping lawns and gravelled pathways, and the grounds also include a potting shed and store.
