Which Norfolk town should you move to?

This site covers 46 Norfolk towns and villages, and three answers do most of the narrowing: what you can spend, whether you need a train, and how often you have to be in Norwich. Answer the five questions below and the tool gives you up to five places to look at, each linked to its full guide.

If one answer decides it

Price first

The lowest median sold prices on the coast are in Great Yarmouth, at £140,000 in the 12 months to June 2026, and Gorleston, at £190,000. Three in four Great Yarmouth sales were terraced houses. Caister-on-Sea, just north of Great Yarmouth, costs more: its median was £247,500, and half its sales were detached houses. Inland, Downham Market has a median of £260,000 and direct trains to London King’s Cross.

Keeping a London job

Four places in the tool have direct trains to London. From Diss the fastest train to Liverpool Street takes 1 hour 22 minutes and most take 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 38. The fastest Norwich train takes 1 hour 39 minutes and most about 1 hour 50. Downham Market is 1 hour 31 minutes from King’s Cross on the fastest train, and King’s Lynn, 17 minutes further up the line, 1 hour 47 minutes. From anywhere else in the tool you change trains or drive to one of these stations first.

The north coast

In ascending order of price: Holt had a median of £335,000 in the 12 months to June 2026 and Wells-next-the-Sea £415,000. Burnham Market sells too few houses for a one-year figure; its 65 sales over three years had a median of £715,000. Reepham, inland, has a market square, a Wednesday country market and a median of £300,000.

How this tool works

The tool drops every place whose typical price is more than 5 per cent over your budget, every place without the train service you asked for, and anywhere too far from Norwich for how often you said you need to be there: more than about 25 minutes’ drive if it is most days, 45 minutes if it is a few times a week. It then ranks what is left by how well the setting and the town-or-village answer match, and shows the top five. If fewer than three places pass, it lets the budget stretch by up to 15 per cent and tells you it has done so.

Drive times are typical, and rail facts come from published timetables. Each result links to the town’s guide, which gives the HM Land Registry median for the 12 months to June 2026, school inspection results, broadband and flood information. Check the guide before you arrange a viewing: the price the tool filters on is a working figure and can differ from the guide’s median.
