A home in Hemsby precariously close to the eroding cliff edge looks set to be demolished.

It is one of a number of properties in Hemsby hanging by a thread after around four metres of the coastline was claimed by the sea during Storm Babet last week.

Five homes were demolished nearby in March this year, with another pulled back from the edge.

Now, Great Yarmouth Borough Council has said it is in discussion with the owner of the property over a potential demolition.

The council said it has offered the homeowner support during what is understandably a "difficult time".

It comes as the village found out last week that it would not receive government funding for sea defences.

There were plans for 0.8 miles (1.3km) of rock berm to be installed at a cost of £15 million, which is believed to have risen to nearer £20 million due to inflation.

Earlier this month, the under-threat home lost its garden shed to the sea.
