2 Bed Detached House For Sale

Location Overstrand is a charming and increasingly sought-after seaside village on the North Norfolk coast, in the heart of Poppyland. Once known as the "village of millionaires," Overstrand gained fame in the late 19th century, attracting notable figures and boasting stunning architectural landmarks. Among these are The Pleasance, the former residence of Lord and Lady Battersea, Overstrand Hall, once home to Baron and Lady Hillingdon, and the Methodist Church, all masterfully designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Over the years, the village has hosted distinguished visitors such as Winston Churchill, Jesse Boot (founder of Boots the Chemist), the Chivers family (of jam fame), and Clement Scott, a writer for the Daily Telegraph.

Today, Overstrand offers an idyllic blend of coastal and countryside walks, along with a range of local amenities. The High Street features a convenient store/post office and the welcoming White Horse public house. The village also boasts a primary school, church, village hall, and art center. Additional highlights include the stunning Sea Marge Hotel, beautiful sandy beaches, and the well-known cliff-top café. Regular bus services connect Overstrand to nearby North Walsham (8 miles) and Cromer (3 miles), with hourly routes to Norwich, Sheringham, and Holt.
