BUILDING PLOT WITH EQUESTRIAN/LIFESTYLE POTENTIAL

5 ACRES (stms) - This is probably one of the rarest property opportunities anywhere, let alone the fact that this edge of village building plot is situated in an attractive, highly sought after small West Norfolk village in an area of gently undulating countryside. The land further benefits from having direct access onto a byway, which would prove ideal for hacking out or for long country walks that lead to the renowned Roydon Common, a ‘Natural Nature Reserve’ covering several square miles. An additional benefit is that the village is located just a 10 minute drive away to the North East of Kings Lynn. Roydon has a beautiful Church anda village pub, and there are further shared facilities with the adjoining villages of Grimston and Pott Row providing a doctors surgery, good primary school, village shop and a butchers. The detailed planning consent is for a bespoke character timber framed barn style home with internal oak posts and beams amounting to some 3,000sq ft, enough to create a substantial, contemporary family home within a traditionally constructed framework. Immediately to the rear of the building plot, there will be space for the erection of stables and associated outbuildings (stpp) within the garden curtilage before the plot then opens to the 5 acres (stms) of grazing land.       

EARLY INSPECTION ADVISED

ACCOMMODATION

The plans have been completely redesigned by the vendors so that the position of the building now allows good access and egress along the side of the intended character home in order that the grazing/paddock land to the rear is now easily accessable for equestrian purposes.

With the advantage of owning acreage, a new owner could install a Ground or Air Source Heat Pump system in order to obtain virtually maintenance free, lower heating and hot water costs. A Rain Water harvesting sustem would also prove to be beneficial.

Detailed plans are available and are included in the sale to provide around 3,000 sq ft. of light and contemporary family living space.

The plans currently provide for an entrance hall,   family lounge, study or bedroom 5, very large open plan kitchen flowing into a dining area and a couple of steps down to the living area/family snug with an expansive amount of glazing to the south and west that leads on out to the covered terrace.There is also a cloakroom/shower room, very large utility room and on the first floor are three large bedrooms, a family bathroom and on the second floor there would be the provision for a magnificent principal bedroom suite with a huge window giving spectacular views over the paddock land and the surrounding countryside beyond.

Of great importance is that the plot is fully serviced with mains water, mains drainage and electricity and with the additional benefit that both the electricity and water are further laid on to the possible location of the stables/outbuildings.
