UK buildings and contents insurance for a non-UK resident

I need to renew my buildings and contents insurance on a three-bedroom, brick-built semi-detached house (built circa 1981) in Chelmsford, Essex with effect from 1st April 2026. This house is to all intents and purposes a holiday home: it is fully furnished and never rented out, and I visit it regularly, spending several months per year there on aggregate.

I am currently resident for tax purposes in Hungary. Until now I have been insured through Intasure but they no longer offer this type of policy to people resident in the EEA. Can anyone recommend a reliable company that can offer holiday home buildings and contents insurance on a UK house to a British citizen resident in Hungary?
