New home, Holme-next-the-Sea

MILLER’S KEEP

Tucked away in the sought-after village of Holme-next-the-Sea, Miller’s Keep is part of an exclusive collection of just five homes, standing out as the only single-storey property within Barley Courtyard. Designed and built by Millthorne Developments, it offers a considered balance between modern craftsmanship and traditional Norfolk character.

Miller’s Keep’s exterior is a nod to local heritage, with a Norfolk red brick and chalk façade under a pantile roof, softened by silver birch planting, laurel hedging, and oak-framed planters. There’s a feeling of calm and permanence here, enhanced by a gravel driveway leading to an integrated garage with an electric door, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens framed by a mix of post and rail, close board, and heavy woven willow fencing.

Inside, the attention to detail continues. Lime-washed oak beams crown the open-plan living space, while engineered Lime-washed oak flooring creates a quiet cohesion. The traditional float-finished walls and black limestone windowsills are a subtle nod to the property’s hand-crafted feel. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, with granite worktops, integrated Neff appliances, and a considered layout which suits both everyday life and entertaining. It’s a space made for gathering, while the utility room and oversized garage ensure that practicalities are taken care of, too.

Beyond the doorstep, Miller’s Keep offers a lifestyle many seek but few find. A short walk leads you past the White Horse village pub – now home to a welcoming bar, a new artisan bakery and a coffee shop, ideal for mornings spent strolling into the heart of the community. Continue a little further, and the wide, sandy beach opens up, inviting daily visits to a stretch of coastline renowned for its natural beauty and sense of space.

Miller’s Keep is more than a coastal retreat — it is designed to be a true primary residence, where the quality of life makes leaving feel unnecessary. With its combination of craftsmanship, location, and ease of living, it offers the rare opportunity to put down roots in one of North Norfolk’s most unspoilt villages, and to savour everything that makes life by the coast so special.

HOLME-NEXT-THE-SEA

A very sought after coastal village, Holme-next-the-Sea has a huge expanse of beach and marshes.

This area makes this quiet village perfect for bird-watching. It also has a very good pub, The White Horse. An ancient ring of timbers discovered on Holme beach after a very low tide is believed to be a ritual burial site dating from Druid times. The Seahenge, as it is known, has been removed for conservation and is exhibited at Lynn Museum in King’s Lynn.

The village is between Old Hunstanton and Thornham on the north Norfolk coast and is a short drive to the amenities in Hunstanton.

Hunstanton was established in 1846 by Henry Le Strange as a bathing resort designed in a Victorian Gothic style, the esteemed townsman wisely led the development of a railway from King’s Lynn to enable day-trippers to reach the ‘new town’ – a canny investment as the route was later to become the most profitable in the country.

Holidaymakers still Mecca to Hunstanton, many staying at Searles Leisure Resort which opened as a caravan park in 1936. Enjoy an afternoon on the water with a boat trip on its Wash Monster, ride the carousel at the fairground or keep it traditional and feed the penny slots at the arcades. The town’s Princess Theatre, renamed in the 80s in honour of Lady Diana Spencer, features a year-round programme of live performances, film screenings plus a seasonal panto. Golfers of all ages can try their hand with a mini golf course and pitch and putt on the cliff-top, plus a renowned Links course in neighbouring Old Hunstanton.
