Tucker Street, East Cliff Tucker Street NR27

Cambridge House, formerly a highly successful guest house run by three generations of the same family for over 70 years, is a remarkable Victorian property with a commanding and enviable position on the seafront of Cromer, a celebrated seaside town on the North Norfolk coast. Constructed in 1887, this handsome building has been a part of the town's history for over a century, retaining its original character and architectural charm. Its strategic location on the East Cliff provides an unparalleled vantage point, offering uninterrupted views of the vast North Sea and the world-famous Cromer Pier. A set of steps located opposite the entrance door leads directly down to the promenade, providing easy access to the sandy beaches and the vibrant seafront.

The extensive and incredibly flexible accommodation of Cambridge House reveals a property of impressive scale and thoughtful design, with the total accommodation expanding to over 4,200 sq. Ft. The journey through the house begins in the basement, a versatile space providing three bedrooms complemented by a utility area and a separate bathroom, providing a practical and self-contained section of the house which was used as the living quarters when operated as a guest house. Ascending to the ground floor, the layout is designed for hospitality and grand living. A spacious living room and a separate dining room provide ample space for entertaining, while the kitchen, utility area, cloakroom and versatile bedroom/snug ensure all practical needs are met. The first floor is dedicated to private accommodation, featuring a collection of bedrooms including two impressively spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities, and the final bedroom/reception room is serviced by a separate cloakroom. This thoughtful arrangement continues onto the second floor with its four bedrooms, with two bedrooms benefiting from en-suites. A bathroom, separate cloakroom and store room complete the accommodation on the second floor. The final floor, the third, continues the theme of generous living space with three additional bedrooms and a bathroom.

It is from the upper floors of Cambridge House that the property truly lives up to its reputation for spectacular vistas. From the elevated position of many of the bedrooms, one can look out and appreciate some of the best sea views and views of Cromer pier that we have ever seen. The expansive windows act as living portraits, capturing the ever-changing moods of the North Sea, from the tranquil blue of a summer's day to the dramatic, white-capped waves of a stormy afternoon. The iconic silhouette of the pier, with its intricate ironwork and the theatre at its end, provides a constant, picturesque focal point. This is a perfect vantage point for watching the fishing boats return with their daily catch or for simply enjoying a moment of tranquillity as the sun sets in a blaze of colour over the water.

Outside, the property boasts a low-maintenance courtyard-style garden to the rear, which leads to the the brick and flint workshop, which was formerly part of a collection of Stables. The workshop benefits from power and lighting and provides fantastic further potential for conversion, subject to any necessary permissions. From the garden, a gate provides access to a path which leads to the parking area accessed from Surrey Street and provides off-road parking for several cars.

Words alone cannot capture the beauty of this remarkable property. With its stunning outlook, generous accommodation, and rich historic charm, Cambridge House stands as a truly unique and desirable residence, offering a rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Cromer’s heritage.

Cromer

Cromer is a quintessential Victorian seaside town that serves as the "Gem of the Norfolk Coast." Perched on the cliffs of the North Norfolk shoreline, it offers a perfect blend of historic charm and natural beauty. The town's most iconic landmark is the Cromer Pier, a resilient Victorian structure that extends into the North Sea and is home to the Pavilion Theatre, which hosts the UK's only full-season end-of-pier variety show. The town's economy has a long and proud history tied to the sea, most notably for the highly prized Cromer crab, a delicacy known for its sweet, tender meat. The fishing boats that bring in the daily catch are an enduring sight, a reminder of the town's working-class roots and its deep connection to the ocean.

Beyond the beach and pier, Cromer is a town rich in history and culture. Visitors can explore the maze of narrow streets, many of which lead to the commanding 14th-century Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, which boasts the tallest bell tower in Norfolk. For those interested in the town's heritage, the Cromer Museum, housed in a row of original fishermen's cottages, offers a fascinating look into the area's maritime and geological past, including displays of prehistoric fossils. The rnli Henry Blogg Museum celebrates the heroic efforts of the town's lifeboat crew, particularly Henry Blogg, one of the most decorated lifeboatmen in history. With its stunning coastal walks, wide and sandy beaches, and a vibrant community spirit, Cromer continues to be a popular destination for those seeking a traditional British seaside experience.
