Description

Description
Cruso & Wilkin are delighted to offer The Old Dairy site, Pound Lane, for sale by Private Treaty.

This development property will be available as a whole or in two lots comprising of:
Lot 1: The Old Dairy Building and yard area
Lot 2: The Traditional Barn, Float Shed and yard

Lot 1
The Old Dairy Building
Ground Floor Approx.125.16m2
First Floor Approx. 62.93m2

The main two storey building is of brick and  carrstone construction. On the eastern elevation there is a single storey extension of brick construction under a flat roof,  mineral felt covering, (partially collapsed). The main building has three roller shutter doors and two personnel doors. The first personnel  door (north) leads to a corridor with stairs providing access to the first floor, formerly  office accommodation. The second personnel door provides access to the ground floor consisting of two main rooms previously used for refrigeration  and storage purposes.

Lot 2
The Barn and Store Approx 90.75m2
The principal building is of brick and steel frame construction with concrete floor previously used as a storage/garage area. The building is open-fronted to the western elevation. Historically, we understand the building was serviced with electricity. Part of the building benefits from a second floor, however, access was not available, as there are no stairs.

The float shed is a single storey open-fronted store, previously used as the charging point for the Milk Floats. The property is principally of brick construction with a steel frame and a mono-pitched corrugated, fibre cement roof.

The yard area is laid to tarmacadam, having  vehicular access from Pound Lane and also High Street.

Agents Note
Part of this building houses the UK Power Networks Electricity Substation.

Location & Situation
The Old Dairy is situated within the village centre of Heacham, which lies 14 miles north of King’s Lynn, and 3 miles south of Hunstanton.
This sought after village location is in close proximity to amenities including a gym, primary school and supermarkets. In addition, the village benefits from a bus route to the neighbouring towns.
Heacham also benefits from its own beach area.
