The speed of the collapse has left the homeowner, who bought the property just five years ago at auction for £132,000, with no choice to evacuate.
Drone footage shows how a historic 18th century farm house is perilously close to collapsing as the cliff beneath it crumbles into the sea.
North Norfolk District Council had said it would demolish the farmhouse, but with the building still standing and the cliff become more and more unstable, there is a risk it could topple onto the beach below before then. Cliff House lies to the east of Trimingham, an area of the Norfolk coast that has high amounts of erosion
They said: 'The Council has secured specialist contractors who will carry out the safe demolition of Cliff Farm in Trimingham in the near future.' Trimingham is known for its high rate of erosion, caused by the north sea battering against the soft, sandy cliffsThis photo taken in 1998 shows the true extent of the erosion which has taken place over the years
Recent heavy rainfall has increased erosion in the soft cliffs at Trimingham and there have been frequent landslides over the last few months.
