Summary - 18 MAIN ROAD SIDESTRAND CROMER NR27 0LS
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming seaside cottage with garden room and sea views, ideal for downsizers.
Grade II listed cottage with inglenook fireplace and bread oven
Bakers Cottage is an immaculately presented Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage set in coastal Sidestrand, under four miles from Cromer. Period features—including an inglenook fireplace, original bread oven and exposed beams—sit alongside modern comforts such as a granite-topped kitchen with integrated appliances and a stylish shower room. A light-filled garden room opens to the rear lawn and patio, creating a flexible entertaining space with countryside and sea glimpses from the principal bedroom.
The property is freehold and comes with private use of a shared shingle driveway for off-street parking, plus generous front and rear gardens. Its compact, well-planned layout (around 779 sq ft) suits a couple, small family, weekend retreat, or a downsizer seeking village life close to the Norfolk coast. Local schools, Cromer’s amenities and coastal walks are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note important practical considerations: the cottage is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate modernisation. The energy rating is low (EPC G) and heating is electric via boiler and radiators, so running costs may be higher than average. Drainage is by septic tank, broadband speeds are slow and the timber-framed construction appears to lack modern insulation — all factors to consider when budgeting for improvements.
Overall, Bakers Cottage offers genuine period character and coastal outlooks in a peaceful village setting. It represents a rare opportunity for someone who values charm and location and is prepared to manage the constraints and running-cost realities of a historic, rural home.
