Get to know it

Final two homes.

Saltmere faces the kind of sky you stop noticing everywhere else. Thirty-one acres on the soft edge of the North Norfolk coast, where the garden ends in samphire and the evening entertainment is whatever the tide brings in. Thirty-four homes, a boardwalk to the marsh, and neighbours worth the name. Samphire in June, seals in September, geese by the thousand in November.

Life at Saltmere

What's here, on the ground.

Every Dreeym community keeps the essentials — The Hearth, a guest suite for family, a workshop, allotments, EV charging — and then adds what the land suggests.

The social heart

The Hearth.

The Hearth at Saltmere has a telescope, a tide table and the county's most contested quiz night. Chowder Fridays, October to March.

The grounds

We start with the land.

The marsh does not need improving; it needs leaving alone. Our covenant maps the reed line, the creek and the rough grazing as permanent — the homes sit shoulder-to-shoulder with a working landscape that changes twice a day.

Out and about

The ten-minute life, and beyond.

On foot

The staithe, eight minutes

Crab lines, a chandlery that sells everything, and the sailing club bar that pretends to be members-only and isn’t.

Ten minutes’ drive

Holt & Blakeney

Georgian Holt for the bookshop and the butcher; Blakeney for the seal trips and the harbour wall at high tide.

The day out

Norwich

Forty minutes to the cathedral, the market and a proper station. London by lunchtime, if you must.

The straight answers

Asked often, answered gladly.

The rest — the law, the ledger, the 10% rule — lives in the Open Book.

What are the fees at Saltmere?

The pitch fee is £210 a month, CPI-pegged, reviewed once a year — grounds, boardwalk, hide and Hearth included. Council tax Band A. The full ledger is in the Open Book.

Is it exposed in winter?

It’s the coast: it blows. The homes are built to BS 3632 residential standard, triple-glazed seaward, and cheap to keep warm — winter here is the point, not the price.

Who owns the land?

Dreeym, outright. You own your home and licence your plot under a written Mobile Homes Act 1983 agreement.

What happens when we sell?

Open-market sale; 10% to Dreeym — the industry rule, capped by law, explained in daylight in the Open Book.

Getting here: Off the A149 coast road between Cley and Salthouse — the lane by the windmill, keep going until the sky gets big. Call and Marek will talk you in.
