Description
Tucked away in the highly desirable coastal village of Thornham, this detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of relaxed coastal living. Peacefully positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, it combines privacy and convenience, with no onward chain ensuring a smooth and stress-free move.
Inside, the accommodation flows with ease, featuring two spacious double bedrooms, a light-filled sitting room, and a welcoming kitchen/dining space that invites family gatherings or leisurely breakfasts before a walk along the beach. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the layout, making the home as practical as it is inviting.
The private walled garden is low-maintenance yet full of charm, framed by cottage flowers – a perfect sun-trap for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply unwinding in the fresh sea air.
Beyond the garden gate, Thornham reveals its full charm: long windswept beach walks, bird-filled nature reserves, and a vibrant village scene with renowned pubs and restaurants waiting to be discovered. Whether you crave outdoor adventure, cosy evenings with friends, or the gentle pace of coastal village life, this property places it all on your doorstep.
More than just a home, it offers a lifestyle - one where North Norfolk’s coastline and countryside enrich every day.
THORNHAM
Thornham may just be the quintessential Norfolk coastal bolthole. With plenty of brick and flint cottages and larger period homes just a short walk from the water’s edge and nature reserve, dig a little deeper and you’ll also discover it is a fantastic foodie hotspot with a clutch of award winning pubs and eateries, along with a boutique retail park. Once a largely forgotten village on the run between Hunstanton and Burnham Market, over the past decade Thornham has evolved into a chic stop.
Historically a centre of trade and seafaring, the village was used by the Romans and saw fierce conflict between smugglers over the centuries until the harbour silted up in the early 20th century. Many of the traditional fishermen’s cottages have been gentrified with a soft palette and contemporary coastal style and life now moves at a calmer pace.
Start the day with a slow brunch at Thornham Deli before picking up some nibbles at the food counter or browsing its quirky lifestyle store. Then, continue your retail therapy a little further along the coast road at Drove Orchards, which seems to have something fresh each season. Or take it easy and fill your basket at the Farm Shop – with a small meat counter, deli, bakery and pantry selection, plus a satellite of Gurneys Fish Shop next door, dinner’s sorted. Open Sky Cycles can also be found here, offering bike hire, making this a great base to leave the car and explore.
Drove Orchards is also home to the original, award winning Eric’s Fish & Chips and Eric’s Pizza, located in a neighbouring Yurt, where traditional dishes have been given a contemporary spin. But if you are looking for good pub grub, head to The Lifeboat Inn or The Orange Tree – both located within this small but prominent village. Whilst some stumble upon Thornham by accident while touring the coastline, there are many who have decided to make it a place to call home.
