Hillcrest is a detached family house situated on the edge of the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea with far reaching views towards the sea.  The property has an extensive gravelled driveway with a garage and an attractive garden to the rear, in all amounting to approximately one third of an acre (subject to survey). The current owners have carried out an extensive programme of extension and refurbishment to now create a superb contemporary house with no expense spared.  A particular highlight, and the real hub of the house, is an impressive open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room with a separate utility and cloakroom, and a wide archway to the dining room.  A cosy sitting room completes the ground floor accommodation with a fireplace housing a wood burning stove.  The spacious galleried landing upstairs leads to the 4 bedrooms and family bathroom, with the principal bedroom also having a dressing room, en suite bathroom and a Juliet balcony making the most of the fine views towards the sea.  To the second floor, there is also a good sized study and a hobbies room. Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, sage green UPVC windows and doors, oak veneer internal doors, exposed pine floorboards, a well appointed kitchen with a large island unit and stone worktops, and luxuriously equipped bathrooms. To the rear of the property, there is also a self-contained annexe with open plan kitchen/dining/living space, a double bedroom and shower room and its own small courtyard garden.  A recently constructed garden studio building provides a gym and a workshop but also lends itself to a variety of other uses. Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily. From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services. Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity.  Gas-fired central heating to radiators.  EPC Rating Band D. North Norfolk District Council, Holt Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9EN.
