New homes in Norfolk

Why move to Norfolk?

Tucked away on England’s eastern edge, Norfolk is a county where life feels more relaxed, space is plentiful, and nature is never far from your doorstep. It’s home to more than 90 miles of coastline, peaceful countryside villages, historic market towns, and the lively city in Norwich.

Regularly ranked as one of the sunniest, safest, and greenest counties in the UK, Norfolk offers an exceptional quality of life. And if you’re thinking about making the move, our new homes in Norfolk could be the perfect place to settle.

Explore the outdoors every day

Living in Norfolk means having some of the UK's most unique landscapes just minutes away. The county is home to the Norfolk Broads, a unique network of rivers, lakes and wetlands and boasts more waterways than Venice and Amsterdam combined. With 125 miles of lock-free waterways and 36 lakes, it’s perfect for boating, angling, or afternoons spent nature-spotting.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the oldest in England and boasts some of the country’s most important conservation areas. You can witness the UK’s largest seal colony at Blakeney Point, walk through the fragrant lavender fields of Heacham, or take in the sweeping views of Thetford Forest, the UK’s largest lowland forest, which has Go Ape tree-top challenges, and even live concerts.

Norfolk’s 90-mile coastline includes everything from wide sandy beaches like Holkham to classic seaside towns like Cromer and Hunstanton. Sea Palling is a popular choice for families, as it has shallow waters and a lifeguard-patrolled beach.

What are some of the best things to do in Norfolk?

There’s plenty to do beyond the coast and countryside. Norfolk’s towns and city centre are full of life, with museums, independent cinemas, theatres, and galleries to discover. Food lovers can enjoy everything from gastro pubs to seaside favourites, sampling local delicacies like Cromer crab, Brancaster mussels, and Binham Blue cheese.

For thrill-seekers, there’s stock car racing at Great Yarmouth Stadium, while Kelling Heath’s Dark Sky Discovery Site offers unforgettable stargazing experiences where you can catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Norwich’s historic centre is home to a bustling permanent six-day market, one of the oldest in the country, and its pedestrian-friendly streets make it perfect for browsing shops, cafés, and local events.

Norfolk’s history and heritage

Norwich is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Britain. Cobbled lanes like Elm Hill wind past timber-framed houses, Norwich Cathedral and Norman castle are centrepieces of local life. Norfolk is also home to over 650 medieval churches, which is more than anywhere else in the world.

The region’s ancient history is just as impressive. The oldest flint tools ever found in the UK were uncovered at Happisburgh, along with the earliest human footprints outside Africa..

Opportunities in Norfolk

Norfolk is a great place to raise a family. With ambitious plans for new housing and school development, Norfolk is steadily becoming one of the best places to live, work, study, visit, and relocate to.

Norwich boasts two high-performing universities, the University of East Anglia and Norwich University of the Arts, and Norfolk city council is planning to create 57,000 more jobs and 5,300 new businesses by 2026.

• Direct train lines from Norwich get you to London in just 90 minutes, and Cambridge in under an hour. 
• An efficient network of A-roads keeps the rest of the country within easy reach.
