New build homes in King’s Lynn and Downham Market

On 11 November 2026 the cheapest new house for sale outright in King’s Lynn, Downham Market and the villages around them was £170,000. We read every price here on the builder’s own page. It is plot 103, a one-bedroom Ashridge, at Persimmon’s The Willows in Downham Market. The cheapest two-bedroom, plot 90, was on the same site: an Alnmouth semi at £225,000, which is £25,000 under the cheapest two-bedroom we found in Attleborough that day. In King’s Lynn the cheapest was £227,500, for a two-bedroom Gainsborough semi at either of Lovell’s two sites. The cheapest three-bedroom was £277,995 at Castle Reach in South Wootton, where Barratt and David Wilson both print that figure.

For two and three bedrooms, West Norfolk was cheaper than mid-Norfolk on the same day. The cheapest home we found in Dereham, Swaffham and Watton was a two-bedroom semi at Abel’s Cygnet Rise in Swaffham at £245,000 (see our guide to new builds in Dereham, Swaffham and Watton), £20,000 more than The Willows. The cheapest three-bedroom at Cygnet Rise was £295,000, £17,005 more than Castle Reach. Four bedrooms turn it round. The cheapest four-bedroom with a price here was £360,000, plot 69 at The Willows, against £315,000 at Persimmon’s Foxley Park in Dereham. That is still £15,000 under the cheapest four-bedroom we found on the A11. Two more things are different here. Persimmon’s “from £112,500” at The Willows is a 50% shared ownership share, not a house price. And West Winch, where the borough council plans up to 4,000 homes, had nothing for sale at all.

The page covers King’s Lynn and its edges at South Wootton, Gaywood and Lynnsport, Downham Market and Snettisham, with a short section on Hunstanton. Every figure is an asking price, not a sold price. King’s Lynn and Downham Market both have stations on the line to Cambridge and London King’s Cross. If you have not settled on a town yet, the town matcher works from your budget, your commute and the schools you need, and gives you a shortlist.

Every site selling on a builder’s own page

As advertised on the builders’ own pages on 11 November 2026. Status and offers are in the builder’s words where they printed them. Where a headline price and the plot list disagree, the table follows the plots. Lovell’s development pages stop before the plot list, so its plot prices come from its house-type pages, read the same day. Broad Oaks lists house types with no prices. Wootton Rise, which is shared ownership only, is in the shared ownership section.

King’s Lynn

King’s Lynn has four sites selling outright, and they split into two kinds. The two Lovell sites, Florence Fields at Gaywood and Valentine Park at Lynnsport, are built with the borough council and are where the cheapest houses in the town are. The two South Wootton sites, Castle Reach and Wootton Grange, start higher and go further up.

Lovell prints “Prices from £227,500” at both of its sites, for a two-bedroom Gainsborough semi, and the plots bear that out: plot 071 at Florence Fields and plot 008 at Valentine Park, both £227,500. At Florence Fields the next Gainsboroughs were £235,000 (plots 070 and 072). Five more were £240,000. The three-bedroom Lansdown was from £290,000 at both sites. Above that the two sites part company. The Newbury was £22,500 dearer at Valentine Park, the four-bedroom Roseberry and Silverdale £15,000 dearer, and the Leaside £5,000 cheaper. Price the house type you want at both before you pick one. The dearest plots we could read were three Silverdales at Valentine Park, plots 013, 012 and 011, at £415,000, £417,500 and £420,000. The council says 35% of the 226 homes at Florence Fields are for rent or shared ownership, and about 15% of the 96 at Valentine Park are affordable homes. Both sales suites are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Castle Reach, on Grimston Road, is one site with two sales teams. Barratt and David Wilson, two brands of the same company, sell side by side. Both print a three-bedroom at £277,995: plot 285, an Archford, from David Wilson, and plot 47, a Maidstone, from Barratt, with plot 48 next to it at £279,995. Barratt also had a two-bedroom, plot 76, a Kenley at £243,995, and its dearest was plot 81, a four-bedroom Radleigh, at £442,995. David Wilson builds only three and four bedrooms here and went up to £499,995 for plot 199, a four-bedroom Holden. Both ranges have gone up since we read the site on 2 November, because dearer plots were added: the old tops, £487,995 and £438,995, were still on sale at those prices. Check the price on your plot on the day you reserve. Barratt was holding a part exchange event on Saturday 14 November.

Allison Homes’ Wootton Grange, off Wootton Grange Way, is the only site in King’s Lynn with five bedrooms. It had eight plots priced, from £300,000 for plot 110, a three-bedroom Telford semi, to £475,000 for plot 13, a five-bedroom detached Ash. Allison prints every plot as “From”, so ask what the figure covers. Allison prints a “5% deposit paid” offer and full market value part exchange on selected plots; ask which apply to the plot you want. For the town itself, read our King’s Lynn guide.

Downham Market

Persimmon’s The Willows, on Lynn Road, has the cheapest homes on this page, but its headline price will mislead you. Persimmon prints “Prices from £112,500 to £400,000”, and the £112,500 is a 50% shared ownership share of a two-bedroom Alnmouth semi (plots 80, 87 and 100), not the price of a house. Seven of the 14 plots listed were shared ownership. Bought outright, plot 103, a one-bedroom Ashridge, was £170,000 and plot 83, another Ashridge, £180,000. Plot 90, a two-bedroom Alnmouth semi, was £225,000.

The bigger homes are all detached. Plot 125, a three-bedroom Barnwood, was £300,000, plot 63, a three-bedroom Sherwood, £330,000, and plot 69, a four-bedroom Grizedale, £360,000. The dearest was plot 75, a four-bedroom Barnwood Drive Through, at £400,000. A three-bedroom detached house for £300,000 is £35,000 less than the cheapest three-bedroom detached at Abel’s The Carriages in Dereham. The two show homes, plot 026 and plot 017, were “Available to view”. Persimmon lists Mortgage Assist, “up to £20,000 towards your mortgage repayments in the first year”, along with part exchange and a £2,000 Bank of Mum and Dad offer.

Broad Oaks, by Prosperity Developments, is the other site in the town with a builder’s page. Its pages describe 300 homes in eight types, from the Croft, a one-bedroom maisonette, to the Royal Oak, a four-bedroom detached house, but show no prices and no site address, only “Please contact us for all home and sales enquiries”. Without a price list you cannot set Broad Oaks against The Willows. We checked the home page and all eight house-type pages on 11 November. Listing sites do quote prices for Broad Oaks, but a listing is not the builder’s price list. Ask Prosperity for one, with plot numbers, before you reserve at either.

Railway Mews, eight three-bedroom houses on Fairfield Road, is sold through an estate agent, The Norfolk Agents. We found no builder’s page for it, so it is not in the table and we give no price.

Our Downham Market guide covers the town itself.

Snettisham

Bennett Homes’ The Spires, on Poppyfields Drive, is the one village site selling outright. Its cheapest home is £57,500 more than the cheapest in King’s Lynn, and its dearest is above anything there. Bennett’s list of developments gives it “Prices from £285,000 to £615,000”. The cheapest was plot 12, a two-bedroom Ashby semi, at £285,000 and the dearest plot 62, a four-bedroom detached Beyton, at £615,000. There are bungalows: plot 57, a three-bedroom Harpley, at £495,000, and plot 67, a three-bedroom Glemsford chalet bungalow, at £450,000. Bennett’s development page shows a price band running from £200,000 to £1,000,000, which is the search filter for the whole website, not a range for this site. The discount on selected homes is for new reservations that exchange by 11 December 2026. The page does not say how much it is. Exchanging within a month needs a mortgage offer and a solicitor ready to go, so ask what the discount is worth on your plot first.

Hunstanton

Hunstanton is outside the area this page covers, but a family looking at Snettisham will see its sites. Lovell’s Lavender Chase, on King’s Lynn Road, prints “Prices from £335,000”. That matches plots 061 and 064, two-bedroom homes at Driftwoods, Lovell’s over-55s scheme at the same address. The cheapest family house type at Lavender Chase was the three-bedroom Lansdown, from £350,000, £60,000 more than the same house type at Lovell’s King’s Lynn sites. Two plots had reductions: plot 029, a three-bedroom Milford, from £395,000 to £375,000, and plot 007, a four-bedroom Richmond, from £530,000 to £475,000. At the top, the four-bedroom Queenswood was from £695,000. Bennett’s St Edmund’s Park had one home left, plot 27, a four-bedroom detached Kelling at £525,000.

Shared ownership

The cheapest share of a new three-bedroom house we found on 11 November was at Wootton Rise in South Wootton, and there were only two house types left to choose from. Platform Home Ownership’s site off Edward Benefer Way had a three-bedroom Oxburgh semi at £66,250 for a 25% share, marked “Last Plot Remaining”, and a three-bedroom detached Blakeney at £88,750 for 25%. The other eight house types said “Sold Out”. Platform does not print the full value. On those figures it would be £265,000 for the Oxburgh and £355,000 for the Blakeney. Ask Platform to confirm it, and to tell you the rent on the share you don’t own.

At The Willows in Downham Market, Persimmon’s seven shared ownership plots were offered at shares of 45% to 50%, from £112,500 for half a two-bedroom Alnmouth semi, which makes the full value £225,000 by our sum, the same as plot 90 outright. At Florence Fields the council says 35% of the homes are for general rent, affordable rent or shared ownership, and a council progress report on the housing schemes, for October to December 2025, puts the shared ownership homes at 10, but we found no provider’s page with shared ownership prices for them. First-time buyers should also read our Your First Home guide.

Freebridge Community Housing sells shared ownership homes through Abbotts, and its shared ownership pages listed five two-bedroom semis at Outwell as available on 11 November, at a full value of £240,000. A 10% share was £24,000, a 25% share £60,000 with rent of £412.50 a month, and a 50% share £120,000 with £275 a month: the smallest outlay on a new home we found on a provider’s own page. Its Downham Market page lists homes at The Willows as coming soon, with no prices yet. Shared ownership is for households earning under £80,000 who don’t own another home; Freebridge says its buyers are mainly first-time buyers and that armed forces applicants come first.

Sold out or no longer listed

Listing sites keep finished estates up for a long time, often with prices. The builders’ own pages, or the council’s, say these are done or no longer list them:

• Lavender Fields, Nursery Lane, South Wootton (Persimmon): “Sold Out”, 11 November 2026.
• Salters Road, North Lynn (the borough council’s scheme): the council’s page says all homes were completed in December 2024 and passed to Freebridge; the page does not describe homes for sale.
• The Birches, Dersingham (Lovell) and The Paddocks, Dersingham (Abel): neither is on the builder’s own Norfolk list on 11 November 2026.
• Nar Valley Park, South Lynn (Lovell, with the council): not on Lovell’s Norfolk list on 11 November 2026.

Coming, not on sale

The biggest thing coming in West Norfolk has no builder. The borough council says the West Winch growth area is expected to deliver up to 4,000 homes over about 20 years, and it formally granted outline planning permission for the first 1,110, applied for by Hopkins Homes, on 16 May 2025. Radio West Norfolk and the EDP have since reported that Hopkins has pulled out of that first phase. The council told them the permission stays with the land, so another builder could take it on. The council’s own page still gives Hopkins’ earliest start as 2026. No builder’s page we checked listed a site at West Winch. There is nothing there to reserve yet.

A council progress report for January to March 2026 says the landowners’ collaboration agreement and the section 106 framework agreement for the whole growth area were completed in January 2026. It names no new builder and gives no date for the first homes.

Closer to hand, Lovell lists two house types at both Florence Fields and Valentine Park as “Coming soon”: the two-bedroom Hollinwell and the four-bedroom Richmond, with no prices. Stonewater’s page for Northgate Way at Terrington St Clement describes 76 homes, 46 for rent and 30 for shared ownership, available from June 2028, but has no sales link or prices.

We also checked Hopkins, Abel, Bellway and Flagship. None listed a site in West Norfolk on 11 November; Flagship’s nearest was Cygnet Rise in Swaffham. Taylor Wimpey’s Norfolk page showed no developments when we read it, so we could not check it. No Taylor Wimpey site in West Norfolk turned up anywhere else.

Before you reserve

School places come from Norfolk County Council, not the builder. A new estate does not come with a place at the nearest school, so check the year you need against the council’s admissions rules before you pay a reservation fee. Check the flood map before reserving too.

Ask the sales office three things in writing: how much the reservation fee is, how long it holds the plot, and what you get back if you pull out. Ask whether the price you were quoted is still the price on the plot. Where an offer has no figure for your plot, as at The Spires, ask what it is worth on the home you want and get that in writing too. If you take part exchange at Castle Reach or Wootton Grange, ask how your house will be valued and get your own estate agent’s figure to set against it.

Check which warranty covers the home: NHBC or another provider. Report snagging in writing, and early. Your lender will want to know about every incentive, including deposit contributions and stamp duty offers.

We have the same page for other parts of Norfolk: North Norfolk, Wymondham and Attleborough, and Harleston, Long Stratton and Loddon.

Plan the move

How we produced this guide

Every development in the table was read on the builder’s own page on 11 November 2026, and prices, bedrooms, status and offers are as printed that day. Where a headline price and the plot list disagreed, at The Willows and Lavender Chase, we give the plots. Lovell’s development pages stop before the plot list, so its cheapest plots and some dearer ones come from its house-type pages, read the same day, and its other figures are house-type “from” prices. None of the builders gave floor areas on the pages we read. Home totals for Wootton Grange and Broad Oaks are the builders’ own figures; those for Florence Fields and Valentine Park are the council’s. The figures for Dereham, Swaffham and Watton and for the A11 come from our mid-Norfolk new builds guide, read the same day. Portals and listing sites were used only to find sites; no figure here comes from them. These are asking prices, not sold prices. See our methodology page for how we check sources.
