Coming soon a new development of holiday homes to buy or let in the heart of one of the premier North Norfolk coastal towns, Sheringham. The development is centrally located being a 1 minute walk from the railway station, close to all high street amenities and a 4 minute or 0.3 mile walk to the renowned sandy beaches.

 

With its motto “The sea enriches and the pine adorns” it is a favourite tourist destination of visiting holiday makers.

 

Up until the late 19th Century Sheringham was just a small fishing village boasting nearly 150 boats. The fishermen brought ashore catches such as cod, whiting and skate, as well as crabs and lobsters, which the town is renowned for today.

 

It is now the quintessential north Norfolk flinty seaside town; a high street haven of ice creams, crab sandwiches, postcards and holiday treasures. A great beach town to visit all year round.

 

Far-reaching coastal views from anywhere along the seafront come complete with the magical sound and salt-tang smell of the sea.

 

An annual crab and lobster festival in May celebrates these tasty crustaceans. The town's own Morris dancers are known as ‘The Lobster Potties’!

 

The town was historically formed by two villages, Upper Sheringham and Lower Sheringham; the former with a predominantly farming based community and the latter being composed of farmers and fishermen. Sheringham reached its industrial zenith around the turn of the 20th century, when the development of railways made transporting sea food possible to more distant markets.

 

The beach at Sheringham is an exceedingly popular visitor attraction and has been awarded with ten consecutive European Blue Flags for its cleanliness.

 

Sheringham town centre is a thriving location with a traditional high street and a wide range of independent shops selling goods ranging from second-hand books to antiques; computers to arts and crafts supplies. The town also has a great selection of places to eat, no matter what your taste. Tea rooms are great places to stop in the afternoon, whilst visitors can dine well in gourmet restaurants in the evening.

This fabulous weekend has grown into one of the biggest events of its type in the country.
