Summary - 20 MAIN ROAD SIDESTRAND CROMER NR27 0LS
3 bed 1 bath Character Property
Character-filled three-bedroom home with large garden and planning potential.
Grade II listed brick and flint cottage with distant sea views
This Grade II listed brick and flint cottage sits in Sidestrand with distant sea views and original Tudor features throughout. The property offers genuine character: exposed beams, pantile and terracotta flooring, original doors, and period fireplaces that create cosy, authentic rooms. With three double bedrooms, a usable cellar, and an attic, the house feels larger than its footprint suggests.
The cottage has been run as a successful holiday let and is offered with no onward chain. Practical benefits include a large driveway with outbuilding, off-street parking, oil-fired central heating, and a very large rear garden and terrace that face fields and sea. Planning and listed building permission granted in 2018 would almost double the living space with a double-height rear extension — a strong opportunity for a sympathetic renovation or holiday-let expansion.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will complicate alterations and may increase build costs and timescales. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average; heating is oil-fired, which may be less efficient and more costly than mains gas. The house is in an ageing rural neighbourhood and requires ongoing maintenance to preserve historic fabric.
This home suits buyers seeking a character-rich coastal cottage with growth potential — whether as a family home, renovated holiday let, or retirement bolthole. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the original features, garden, and coastal setting, and to assess the practicalities of any proposed works.
