Description

The Vernon Arms is situated in the North Norfolk village and conservation area of Southrepps, located 5.1 miles southeast of Cromer, 20.9 miles north of Norwich, 9.2 miles northeast of Aylsham and less than 3 miles east of the A140, a primary road which runs from the A14 near Needham Market to the A149 near Cromer, forming a key route between Ipswich and Norwich.

The Vernon Arms is the principal amenity within Southrepps, although the village also has a playground, a village hall, a bowls club, village store, a football club and a late 13th century church dedicated to St James. Due to its proximity to the coast, the area has a plethora of camping and caravan sites and holiday accommodation. Larger shopping outlets, supermarkets and fuel stations can be found in the nearby town of Cromer.

The Vernon Arms occupies a Grade II listed, two storey, detached building of part brick, part flint construction under a pantile roof. It is located on Church Street and is the only public house in the village. The property briefly comprises:
