The glamorous, gorgeous & obviously smart lifestyle & fashion influencer (with more than 4M followers!) has bought her first home on the North Norfolk coast.
Congratulations to her & Ali!
Lydia chose to switch streams from the Rivals-rolling hills of the Cotswolds to the rugged beauty of the Norfolk coast, finding her new renovation project sanctuary, after a visit to dreamy Cley-Next-The-Sea – following six years of house hunting!
The star of YouTube & Instagram recently revealed that she has snapped up a stunning 200-year-old fisherman’s cottage nestled in the heart of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.
Sounds like it needs a lot of work Lydia, so if you need contacts to do it up – just holler. This is something we are happy to offer anyone, not just our wonderful clients…
Why North Norfolk?
Well, it was a holiday to Cley-next-the-Sea last year that sealed the deal. And like so many who visit our coastline, it got under her immaculate skin & Lydia fell in love with the unique blend of wild salt marshes, historic architecture, bouji Indi biz, sailing on the creeks & that unmistakable sense of peace, space & the light. My God, the light…
Understandably, she’s keeping the exact location private. And the classy agent she bought off. But Lydia described the historic cottage as "truly, truly wonderful" with incredible potential for a restoration that honours its heritage. Sounds fab.
We wish her all the very best with it.

Naturally, Lydia’s move has shone a spotlight on this quiet corner of East Anglia – highlighting what we at Flint Homes have known for a long time: North Norfolk isn't just a holiday destination; it’s the ultimate place to call home.
Like her, we used to be day tripper & holiday letters – always leaving with a heavy heart & “North Norfolk syndrome” – dying to return ASAP. Then we made it home & have never looked back. It really is so special.
With its rich history, quiet gentleness, incredible wildlife, wonderful shops, restaurants, pubs & interesting things to do & people to meet – all with the backdrop of breathtaking views – the North Norfolk Coast continues to be one of the most sought-after postcodes in the UK. Justifiably.
And that just got a little bit more real with lovely Lydia’s entrance stage left.
Thinking of making your own coastal move?
Whether it’s a 200-year-old cottagecore gem like Lydia, a giant country seat in parkland acres or a modern family home, Flint Homes is here to help you find your perfect Norfolk retreat – your ‘one-stop-shop’ for access to the entire Norfolk property market & a successful, smooth purchase.
You don’t have to be glamorous, famous, or even an influencer… we don’t discriminate!
But if you are, that’s great too: as a retired magazine editor & journalist, I’m more than used to being in the company of brilliance, fame & fortune!
Be happy Lydia! We know you will be.
And by the way… this was too kind… thank you x
