Detailed Description

This residential development site extends to approximately 0.70 acres and offers a unique opportunity to acquire two traditional farm buildings with full, implemented planning permission for conversion into two dwellings. The barns are available as a whole or can be split into two lots, as shown on the indicative sale plan. Set within an attractive rural location, these barns combine historic charm and excellent development potential suited to modern living. The property also benefits from the security of near neighbours.

PLANNING PERMISSION
The Cart Shed Barn (Unit 2) is a single-storey traditional farm building with red brick and flint walls, open bays with exposed timber frames on the east side, and a clay pantile roof. Planning permission has been granted for conversion into a four-bedroom single storey dwelling covering 2,090 sqft. The proposed layout includes four double bedrooms, three being ensuite, with a further ,family bathroom, utility room and open plan kitchen and living space. The barn frontage makes the most of the attractive outlook across rolling farmland.

The Former Dairy Barn (Unit 11/13 A) is made up of two attached buildings. Unit 11 is a single storey traditional redbrick and flint barn that boasts high eaves, with an open bay on the south facing side, and a clay pantile roof. Unit 13 A, is a single-storey former dairy building, that is a more modern addition with a corrugated tin and fibre cement roof. Planning permission allows for conversion into a 2,882.50 sqft four-bedroom single storey dwelling. The proposed layout houses kitchen and living areas within Unit 11 with an entrance hall connecting to Unit 13A where there are four double bedrooms, including two ensuite, as well as a further bathroom, separate WC, home office and utility room.

Outside, both properties have ancillary land to provide parking, landscaping and garden space.

Full planning details can be found on the North Norfolk District Council website, under reference number: PF/15/1524. The planning permission was obtained in October 2017 and has been successfully implemented by the installation of access to the south and the discharging of ecology and landscaping conditions with approved plans (ref: CDA/15/1524).

Important Planning Notes: An application to make a non material amendment to remove the door on the western boundary of Unit 13 is in progress. The sunroom on Unit 11 included in the planning permission is not to be constructed. The buyer will be responsible for making any relevant planning amendments to remove this feature.

These changes are both shown on the illustrative plans in the sale brochure. Please refer to the Sellers’ Agent for more information or further clarification.
