Historic 18th-Century Farmhouse Teeters on the Edge of Collapse as Erosion Erodes Coastal Cliff

A historic 18th-century farmhouse in Trimingham, Norfolk, England, is precariously hanging over the edge of an eroded coastal cliff. The farmhouse, known as Cliff Farm, was purchased at auction five years ago for approximately $165,000. However, significant erosion has left the structure in danger of collapsing onto the beach below. The homeowner has been evacuated, and the North Norfolk District Council has announced plans to demolish the property before it collapses. The erosion has been accelerated by heavy rainfall over the winter, which saturated the steep cliffs and caused several landslides. Coastal erosion has also impacted other areas along the coast, including the seaside resort town of Hemsby, where several homes have been destroyed.

18th Century Farmhouse to be Demolished After Coastal Erosion Leaves it Perched Perilously on Cliff Edge

A historic 18th century farmhouse in Trimingham, Norfolk, is facing imminent demolition after coastal erosion left it teetering over a cliff edge. Once situated at a safe distance from the coastline, the three-bedroom property has been gradually inching closer to the brink due to relentless erosion. Recent landslips have exposed the rear portion of the house, prompting the local council to issue a demolition order to prevent it from collapsing onto the beach below. The owner, forced to evacuate the property, understands the precarious situation and has consented to the demolition.
