Description

OVER NORTON

Set within one of Norfolk’s most sought-after locations, Over Norton stands to be an exceptional example of contemporary coastal living. Designed by locally acclaimed Atelier Associates, this substantial five-bedroom home, spanning over 4,500 sq. ft., is set to deliver an architectural statement, sitting comfortably on Herrings Lane, Burnham Market, and enjoying beautiful countryside views. Every element has been carefully considered to balance striking design with practicality and modern comforts.

A harmonious blend of materials and expansive glazing creates a seamless connection between the home and the landscape beyond, framing uninterrupted views across open countryside. The internal layout has been designed to encourage both sociable family living and moments of quiet retreat; open-plan spaces flow effortlessly into more formal rooms, ensuring the home is fit for every occasion.

The principal suite offers a sense of calm and privacy on a grand scale, complete with a terrace capturing countryside vistas. Throughout, the generous proportions continue - a home that feels both luxurious and wonderfully liveable.

Outside, the property continues to impress with thoughtfully integrated parking, including a garage and covered space, along with a private rear garden connected to the wider landscape.

Over Norton represents a rare opportunity to build a home where architectural integrity meets effortless coastal living, in a location that remains one of Norfolk’s most desirable.

Planning permission has been granted by the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (Refs: 24/01957/F & 25/01110/F). The developer has already paid the CIL levy.
