Former Police House Converted into Stunning Coastal Homes

Project Overview

Mike East of RM Smith Builders led the transformation, ensuring every detail aligned with the village’s character.

“It was essential that these new homes respected the surrounding architecture. We used Chalkstone and brick to echo the traditional palette, it’s what gives them that unmistakable seaside charm.”

Designed to make the most of the stunning sea views, both properties flip the traditional layout on its head: bedrooms are located on the ground floor, open-plan living spaces on the first, and the master suite crowns the top, ensuring every level takes full advantage of the outlook.

With a reputation across North Norfolk for quality and craftsmanship, RM Smith Builders delivered homes finished to an exceptional standard.

Thoughtfully curated interiors include hand-made kitchens, built-in wine coolers, and elevated balconies for seamless summer entertaining.

The appeal was immediate.

“One buyer committed on day one before even stepping inside,” Mike reveals. “Homes in this area are in high demand, but that was still a surprise.”

Having seen the results first-hand, Mike’s endorsement of Mumford & Wood speaks volumes: “We’ve been so impressed with the quality that I’m now ordering Mumford & Wood products for my own home.”

Flush Casement Windows

In a bespoke Olive Grey finish, these timber Flush Casement windows include a mix of fixed and floating mullions, with elegant 18mm horizontal astragal bars - a nod to the village’s architectural vernacular, reinterpreted for modern living.

Entrance Doors

For a warm, inviting first impression, timeless Orford-style Entrance doors in the same Olive Grey finish were chosen. Each sits beneath a charming canopy that enhances the traditional coastal look of the homes.

Bi-Fold Doors

Maximising light and access, Bi-fold doors open out onto private balconies from the first-floor living spaces, perfect for embracing the views. Additional bi-folds at ground level provide a seamless connection to the garden, delivering flexibility and flow for modern lifestyles.
