Description

The Norfolk Agents are delighted to offer Yard Farm in Shouldham, a rare opportunity to acquire an existing 3-bedroom bungalow in need of modernisation, alongside a former agricultural building with development potential; occupying a mature plot of over 2 acres in this popular and well-served village. The site offers huge potential, with a c.1.5 acre tree-lined paddock at the rear of the properties being ideal for equestrian use, or alternatively as a yard or small-holding.

The property is being offered as one package or in two lots and all enquiries relating to the sale should be made directly to the selling agents. We would like to make interested parties aware that the property is available with no onward chain. All enquiries relating to the potential development or utilities should be made to either the local planning authority or to individual service providers.

THE BUNGALOW

The accommodation in the bungalow briefly comprises sitting room with fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room, three double bedrooms (one of which has been used as a dining room) and family bathroom, as well as a separate utility room and WC which is accessed from the rear of the property.

THE BARN, LAND & OUTBUILDINGS

The barn is a handsome building of predominantly brick and field chalk construction, under a pantile roof with a pair of barn doors opening to the front. The existing floor area extends to around 140 sq./m., on one single level. The barns backs onto an enclosed yard, with an open-fronted cart shed at the rear.

Beyond the barn there is a separate former piggery of concrete block construction, measuring around 18 metres in length by 6 metres wide (approximately 60ft x 20ft).

The majority of land is located to the west of the properties, with a rectangular paddock extending to a little over one and a half acres. The area to the front of the buildings faces on to Westgate Street and is partially laid to garden, with the majority of frontage providing hard standing for several vehicles.

LOCATION

Shouldham is a picturesque village with a pretty green and playing field, approximately 9 miles south of Kings Lynn and only a 15-minute drive to nearby Downham Market; both of which offer a wide range of amenities. Watlington Train Station is only 5 miles away, which accessed by country roads with very little traffic, offers direct rail links to London via Cambridge. The village offers a range of amenities, including a Primary School (rated as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted), a popular community-owned pub & restaurant, post office, village hall, social club and church. Nearby, Shouldham Warren is a 500 acre wooded area with tracks and paths, which is popular with walkers and horse riders.

SERVICES

The property is connected to mains drainage, electricity and power supply. Oil-fired central heating in bungalow.
