LOCATION

Thornham is a highly sought-after and picturesque village on the North Norfolk coast, located just a short drive from Brancaster Staithe and approximately six miles from the popular village of Burnham Market. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Thornham is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and offers exceptional access to the coast, with expansive salt marshes, open skies and a beautiful sandy beach stretching towards Holme-next-the-Sea. The village has a rich maritime heritage and retains a strong sense of character, with a charming mix of traditional fishermen’s cottages, period houses and a selection of larger, more contemporary homes. Local amenities are excellent for a village of its size and include three well-regarded public houses, a popular delicatessen and café, and a range of independent shops and businesses at Drove Orchards on the western edge of the village. A small harbour sits close to the beach, providing a focal point for sailing and wildlife spotting, while a raised boardwalk leads across the marshes towards the renowned RSPB bird reserve at Holme-next-the-Sea. With its coastal setting, thriving community and easy access to neighbouring villages and countryside, Thornham is widely regarded as one of North Norfolk’s most desirable places to live and visit.
