Extending to over 1,500 sq. ft., Driftwood blends traditional charm with thoughtful updates across three well appointed floors. The welcoming front porch is ideal for shaking off the sand after a beach walk, while the entrance hall leads to a handy guest cloakroom and stairs to the upper levels.
A generous sitting room provides a warm and inviting space, complete with rustic wood flooring and a cast iron gas stove set beneath an exposed oak beam perfect for cosy coastal evenings.

The first floor principal suite is truly special, occupying the entire rear of the property with oversized windows framing the dramatic coastal outlook. This serene space wraps into a spacious dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom.
A further double bedroom and a separate shower room complete this level. On the second floor, two additional double bedrooms enjoy their own stunning sea views and are served by a generous family bathroom.
To the rear of the property is a private, enclosed courtyard enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, while the front garden and sun terrace are perfectly positioned to make the most of the striking sea views. Whether you re savouring sunrise over the water or entertaining guests as the sun sets behind the cliffs, Driftwood s outdoor spaces offer a unique setting to enjoy the North Norfolk coastline year round.
Driftwood also benefits from a single en bloc garage with a wash down area and access to a private, shared car park for residents and guests. A practical garden shed provides ample storage for beach gear or gardening equipment. Access is via the private car park and a charming rear sun trap courtyard that leads into the rear porch.
Set within an attractive row of Victorian homes, Driftwood combines a tucked away feel with the convenience of Sheringham s bustling high street and the Norfolk coast on the doorstep.

The town boasts a thriving high street with independent shops and tourist spots. Nearby, the North Norfolk Railway offers nostalgic steam and diesel train rides to Holt. Down at the Blue Flag beach, visitors enjoy stone skimming and coastal views.
Sheringham s heritage shines at The Mo museum, featuring retired lifeboats and insights into the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm. The Sheringham Little Theatre, a local gem, hosts renowned actors and vibrant seasonal shows, while The Hub offers a cozy community caf atmosphere.
The town celebrates its Viking roots with annual themed events, including a Crab and Lobster Festival with Cromer and a lively August carnival. Nature lovers can escape to Beeston Bump for stunning coastal panoramas or explore Repton Walk in Sheringham Park for sweeping countryside views.
