Apparently is a "character property" !!!!!!!

I'm with Tonker but would go with horrible rather than "challenging"

Another one with such low ceilings that it makes the entire place look cheap. And I bet that conservatory gets a bit warm.

like the place but for one thing... 5 beds and not a single ensuite.... me not like, plus having bathroom in cellar and only other ones on first floor, but I guess its the layout of the house and its difficult to change it in anyway

New on the market quite close to me.

£4M is a lot in South Wales, even for the upmarket areas in North Cardiff or the Vale of Glammorgan but miles above anything else near Bridgend. It's not in a great spot IMO but is close to the coast.

£4m is a huge sum in that part of the World. I wonder quite how large or small the market is for that type of place at that sort of price around there.

Ceilings look low, incidentally.

Shame it's at Happisburgh, as coastal erosion is very bad there.

Lovely. And in a few years it'll even have one of those trendy infinity pools.

It can only appreciate as the sea views ebb closer.

House most likely to belong to Bryn Cartwright.

Agree entirely and, the conservatory is not the best place for a grand-piano either.

Small, very small.

Not many of the top end houses have shifted in the past 12 months. One exception was a £2M+ house that was bought by the founder of Go Compare but that was in a far more established 'top end' location.

Funnily enough that is a problem I have with a lot of houses in that area....we're looking to move there in the summer. Current abode is a maisonette in a period house in London....we have 11ft ceilings and large floor to ceiling Victorian sash windows. I just can't stand these house with 8ft high ceilings they feel so dark and have no sense of space.

I think we've had that before. Nice place, some it is a bit OTT for me and that's a pathetic garage for a house like that. PH garages matter.
And what's going on with the pictures?

Shame it's at Happisburgh, as coastal erosion is very bad there.

I had a feeling this might appear on this thread.
A friend took the aerial photographs.
Gorgeous house, wonderful rural location with super Norfolk coastal views. Excellent grounds, recently developed beach entrance.
Sadly there is a caravan site right next door and also the relentless erosion. There used to be a couple of buildings at the end of the field until the winter storms of 2013.

Back 2008/09 I remember it being for sale at £850k. After spending some time in the ownership of property rental company, it came back on the market in 2012 for £1.25 million, being reduced to £925k and then to £800k before being removed from the market.
If the erosion continues at the current rate, I would assume the property's value would only decrease.
Having said that, who knows? It could last another generation.

£3/4 Mill for 25 years use seems rather gamble. hehe
