Burnham Overy Staithe, located on the 'magical' north Norfolk coast, has been listed as one of the 10 best seaside locations to live in by the Sunday Times.
The ten places have been chosen as they are places that can be enjoyed all year round and also includes St Ives in Cornwall and Lyme Regis in Dorset.
The Sunday Times writes about Burnham Overy Staithe: 'It has the most delightful creek, a charming collection of pretty flint houses and one of the region's best and most welcoming gastropubs, the Hero.
'It's a fine place for birdwatching and, if you want to immerse yourself in nature, you can catch a ferry to the nature reserve at Scolt Head Island or walk a mile and a half along the coast path to the awe-inspiring beach at Holkham.'
