Are you dreaming of a new life on Norfolk coast? Here are five amazing properties in locations by the water.
Lighthouse views
Happisburgh is one of the most searched for villages in Norfolk – searches on Rightmove rose by an incredible 142% last year.

Originally an inn and forge, the Old Swan Inn is a six-bedroom detached property, which is currently a well-loved family home. Plus there’s the possible addition of two self contained, one bedroom annexes, which have been started by the current owners. As you’d imagine, there is a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, feature fireplaces and original doors and timber. It’s on the market for offers in excess of £620,00 with Coast and Country. Phone 01263 658034 for details.
