Summary - Tapdon House, Sandy Lane, West Runton NR27 9QH
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious family home with sea views and large south-facing garden.
Victorian residence built 1891 with ornate sash bays and high ceilings
Tapdon House is a handsome Victorian residence set in an elevated position on West Runton Common, offering generous family accommodation across three floors and more than 2,000 sq ft. Period details such as high ceilings, decorative cornicing, ornate sash bays and original fireplaces combine with tasteful contemporary finishes to create an elegant, versatile home. The principal suite occupies the top floor and benefits from a dressing area and en‑suite, while three further double bedrooms provide flexible space for children, guests or a home office.
The living areas are bright and well proportioned. A formal sitting room on the first floor enjoys southerly, elevated vistas and a wood burner; the ground floor kitchen and adjoining dining/lounge open via French doors to a paved terrace and a south‑facing enclosed garden with mature planting and a summerhouse. Practical features include off‑street parking for multiple cars, mains gas central heating, double glazing (fitted post‑2002) and good mobile and broadband connectivity.
Important points to note: the property is of solid brick construction with no built‑in cavity insulation (as originally constructed), and the Energy Performance Certificate is rated D, so there is scope and likely need for energy upgrades. Council Tax sits at Band E. The house dates from 1891 and, while well maintained and stylishly presented, older properties can require ongoing upkeep and sensitive updating.
Positioned between National Trust woodland and the heritage coastline, West Runton offers a rare mix of village amenities, coastal walks and good transport links to Sheringham, Cromer and Norwich. For families seeking space, character and easy access to beach and countryside, Tapdon House delivers a compelling blend of period charm and everyday practicality, with clear potential to improve energy performance and personalise over time.
