The property stands in its own grounds on the top of a cliff overlooking the Norfolk coastline. The Whim is located on the edge of the rural seaside village of Mundesley, which boasts a beautiful beach and many attractions, including golf and other country pursuits.
The Whim benefits from it's own indoor heated swimming pool, located in the grounds. This makes the Whim an ideal family retreat.
Each of the rooms are of generous proportions, as was the case with most homes built in the Edwardian times. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped with most modern necessities. The dining room will seat 14 adults and there is a high chair available if needed.
Please note that the broadband in the house is provided by a third-party supplier. We cannot be held responsible if the service dips or stops working for any reason outside of our control. Of course, we will endeavour to remedy the situation as promptly as we can, but as you will appreciate, we are reliant on the third party.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Why they chose this property
We purchased the Whim in 2009. It had already been run as a successful holiday home rental business.
What makes this property unique
The Whim occupies a fantastic position on top of the cliffs overlooking the North sea and Mundesley. There is a path down to the sea just at the end of the road. Mundesley beach is fabulous. It is clean, large and thankfully almost undiscovered by the masses.
