Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer the unique opportunity to purchase an individual building plot of around 1.35 acres (0.56 hectares) in one of North Norfolk's most scenic and sought after locations. The site, which is located around 100m north of the coast road (A149) in Brancaster Staithe, is being offered with the opportunity to custom build a brand new home to replace the existing dwelling, which has occupied the plot since the 1930's. Plots of this size are a rare commodity in such a desirable location, providing the opportunity to create a truly remarkable new home.

Aside from the size and location of the plot, the setting is also perfect for exploring the area, as well as catering to a wide range of interests and activities; with the Norfolk Coast Path located just at the end of the road and the Harbour and Sailing Club being just a 2-minute walk away. The area provides no end of opportunities to engage with the local wildlife, whether you're kayaking through the creeks or visiting one of the many nearby wildlife reserves; not to mention the fabulous choice of shops, galleries restaurants and pubs within a 2-mile radius.

The site has been in the ownership of the same family for several generations, with the existing dwelling dating back as far as 1931. Access to the site is obtained from Town Lane and adjoins the boundaries of several other properties to the north and south, with open field views to the west.

LOCATION:

Brancaster Staithe is a highly sought after village on the north coast of Norfolk, complete with its harbour and set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is part of a stretch of coast which is renowned for its beautiful beaches, wildlife and sailing. The coastal footpath runs along the picturesque coast and is described in the Norfolk Travel Guide as 'One of the most stunning parts of the UK coast, with a million years of history - not to mention huge skies, fabulous beaches and gentle nature'.

Brancaster Harbour is a hub of activity, home to a thriving fishing community, as well as the Sailing Club which attracts visitors from far and wide throughout the summer months. The prestigious White Horse public house and hotel is a year round attraction, with stunning views over the marshes; whilst the Jolly Sailors provides a more traditional and informal place for families to socialise, with a large beer garden and children's playground.

The village also benefits from a village hall and stores, and an active community around St. Mary's church. A short drive along the coast lies the highly ranked Royal West Norfolk Golf Club at Brancaster, whilst Burnham Market is less than 4 miles inland. The pretty fishing town of Wells-next-the-sea is under10 miles away and the Royal Sandringham Estate is within a 20-minute drive. Transport links include a train station at King's Lynn, which runs an hourly into London Kings Cross via Cambridge, whilst Norwich Airport is around 40 miles to the east.

AGENTS NOTES:

  1. Title to the property benefits from a right of way for all purposes along the western half of Town Lane. A single replacement dwelling would involve no intensification of its use. It is understood the right of way has been used since the 1930's.
  2. A previous planning consent for multiple units on the site was obtained in 2023 (Ref: 20/01672/O). For more information relating to this scheme please call the agent or visit the King's Lynn & West Norfolk planning website.
  3. An overage clause will be added to the sale contract, pertaining to the construction of more than one dwelling on the site.
  4. The fields immediately to the west of the site comprise part of the Branodunum Roman Fort Scheduled Monument.
