Description

Detailed Description

SCHOOL ROAD, UPWELL
Brown&Co. offers a residential development opportunity in Upwell, Norfolk. Planning permission was granted in February 2023 for two detached dwellings and conversion of a former row of cottages into 3 dwellings on School Road, a pleasant location in a peaceful village, overlooking the river.

DESCRIPTION
Currently the site comprises a former commercial yard with various outbuildings and row of redundant cottages used as a store, with one cottage used as offices. Planning permission was granted by the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk under reference 22/01717/F for conversion of the cottage row into 3 dwellings and two further new dwellings in the yard. Details of the application can be searched on the Borough Council website using the reference or by contacting the agent.

LOCATION
The property occupies a quiet position on the edge of Upwell with rural farmland views to the front. The village, which has the River Nene (Old Course) running through it, has a most relaxed atmosphere where narrow boats and pleasure canoes can be frequently seen passing through. The village is a popular choice for local people and newcomers to the area, partly due to the village's easy access to the larger towns of Downham Market and Wisbech as well as being within easy reach of two railway stations. Nearby Downham Market, 8.2 miles, is a mainline station to Ely, Cambridge and London and Manea Station, 9.5 miles, has frequent trains to Peterborough station where national services depart.

VIEWING
Viewing is strictly by appointment with the selling agents. Interested parties are, under no circumstances, to enter the property or yard.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
