Maynard House

Maynard House is a listed three-storey house in the heart of the old fishing town of Cromer. Tucker Street overlooks the pier, promenade and crab fishing boats. Opposite the house steps lead down to the promenade, beach and fishing boats. It is well positioned between the church, museum and Red Lion Hotel. The house was built in 1834 as a fisherman’s house and the Pier Commissioner’s house, before Cromer took off as a popular Victorian seaside resort. It has a first floor bay window overlooking the sea, which is distinctive of many older town houses.

Although we sometimes let the property for short holidays, we are now trying to swop the house with a similar property. You can see more about the house on http://maynardhouse.blogspot.co.uk

The house is very close to shops, restaurants, theatre, tourist information office, museums, 4-screen cinema and library. Budgens is at the end of the road and enables shopping by foot whenever needed – 7 days a week with 8 to 8 Monday to Saturday. It is within easy walking distance of excellent public transport by train, bus or taxi.

Cromer is built on a cliff overlooking some of Norfolk's most sandy beaches, centered round its parish Church. It is famous for it's fresh crabs but also offers a wealth of other seafood. Young families have the beach, pier and town facilities on the doorstep without the need for a car.
