Description

Sanderlings is a bright and spacious four bedroom detached house in a central spot in the charming seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea. With the beach, pub, shop and tea rooms all just a short walk away, it’s a fantastic base for a relaxing coastal stay.

Downstairs there is a large open-plan living and dining area with comfortable seating, a TV with Amazon Firestick, and a generous dining table for family meals. The adjoining kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker and hob, microwave, integrated fridge/freezer and Nespresso coffee machine. A separate utility room houses the washing machine and wine fridge, and has doors leading to both the front garden and the rear decking area. There is also a convenient downstairs WC off the utility room. From the main living space, doors open into a large conservatory with plenty of seating — a lovely spot to relax with a book or enjoy views of the garden.

Upstairs you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms. The largest bedroom overlooks the back garden and has a king size bed, while bedroom two also looks out over the garden and has a standard double bed. Bedroom three is at the front of the house and has a 4' small double bed, meaning the maximum adult capacity for the house is six. The fourth bedroom has an elevated 3' single bunk bed. There are two bathrooms upstairs: one with a shower, WC and washbasin, and the other with a bath and shower over, WC and washbasin.

Outside, the back garden is a great size with a decking area near the house for al fresco dining. There is also an outdoor table tennis table for guests to enjoy. At the front of the house you’ll find a small enclosed garden area and off-road parking for one car, with additional unrestricted parking available on the road nearby.

Three to four dogs are welcome to stay at Sanderlings free of charge. Dogs are very welcome throughout all of the downstairs living areas and may join you on the sofa - please bring your own throws.

From the house it’s an easy five minute stroll to the beach, which is dog friendly all year round. The Fisherman’s Return pub is less than two minutes walk away, while the fish and chip shop, Poppy’s tea rooms and post office, and the village shop are all within around 100 yards.

Location

Sanderlings is located in the heart of Winterton-on-Sea, a pretty unspoilt village perched on the Norfolk Coast. It only takes 5 mins to walk to long sandy beaches which are dog friendly all year round.

The local Fisherman’s Return pub (dog friendly) serves good food, and is a 2 minute walk from the property. Also in the village within walking distance you’ll find the village shop, Poppy’s post office and tea rooms (we can recommend the breakfasts), a fish & chip shop and Seal View café at the beach.

There’s an excellent choice of walks right from the doorstep, and Winterton Dunes is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). From the end of November to the beginning of January it’s pupping season for the local grey seal colony, with literally thousands of them on Horsey beach just 10 mins drive from Winterton. It’s an amazing sight to see.

For cyclists there’s a great choice of routes and trails to enjoy. A little further afield the Norfolk Broads offers scenic boat trips or hire your own boat for the day. There’s also fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding available.

The house was excellent, the downstairs layout made it perfect for a family trip as it was basically open plan (perfect for our Christmas getaway). The finish in the house was also excellent with good quality furniture and equipment throughout. The pub is seconds away and the beach/dunes just a few minutes stroll. Highly recommend.

This was our first stay at Sanderlings and will happily book again. It is a lovely, spacious house, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the village, near the shop, chippy and pub, only a short walk to the dunes and beach. Both the front and back gardens very secure for children/dogs. There was also a very generous welcome pack on arrival. Looking forward to our next stay.

We stayed in a group of 5 plus a dog, as in the description the third bedroom has a 4’ bed so we had plenty of room. Not sure if this would suit 2 adults. The house has a downstairs layout that ideally suits holiday breaks & the access via the utility room allows you to bring dogs in & clean them up (we had rain). Very nice coffee machine. Would look to book in warmer months as the conservatory & the garden are a big plus. ** Agent's note: you're quite right the 4' bed in the third bedroom isn't really suitable for two adults, so although we advertise the house as sleeps 7 we do state it's only suitable for max 6 adults.

Sanderlings is bright and spacious. We immediately felt comfortable. The location is perfect and the friends we were meeting up with were envious of our accommodation.

We love the location of Sanderlings in the centre of Winterton on Sea. The house has been thoughtfully decorated and has a mid century feel. I love the doors! The house is well laid out with space to be together and apart. The garden has been updated since the photos were taken and is a great place to relax and let the dogs play. The kitchen units are a bit tired, but the kitchen is well equipped. The coffee machine is a definite bonus. We would definitely stay at Sanderlings again.

This was our 3rd stay at Sanderlings and as before we had a lovely time. Accommodation is spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect for access to the dunes and beach as well as all the local amenities. Secure garden is just perfect for our dog. A small negative is that the windows could do with a clean but maybe that's just me being picky.

Perfect size cottage for us a family of 5 and one large dog. The kitchen had everything you need if you want to cook at home. The bathrooms were all really clean. Beds were comfy too. Ideal location to the little shop, pub, fish and chip shop and café. Then a 5 minute walk to the beach which is just ideal with children.

A great place, perfectly located. Very quiet. Less than 10 mins walk to the beach, 30 seconds to the local shop. Garden is great, with table tennis for the kids (or grown-ups!) Note there's no dishwasher (it doesn't claim to have one, but still surprised us!)

Fabulous cottage, clean and spacious. Lovely enclosed garden and the table tennis table was a big win with my son! Winterton beach is literally a 5 minute walk and is beautiful and clean. I would definitely recommend the Fisherman Returns pub - the food was excellent and Winterton's fish and chip shop. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely book to stay again. Thank you.

Lovely cottage on the seaside. The house was perfect for a family 5+2. Looks just like the photos and indeed very close to the sea. Lovely surroundings very dog friendly area.

We had a lovely break at Sanderlings. The house was perfect for us and with easy walking access to the lovely beach cafe/pub/tea room. Lovely secure garden for the dog and even a gate to the front so good if you have a dog that escapes easily. Would definitely stay again.

A lovely comfortable house right in the centre of the village - everything was within 5-10 mins walk. Our dogs loved the big back garden. Would definitely book again.
