Description

Unique freehold riverside plot with 23 moorings including large residential plot, large commercial plot, 2 separate chalets and a workshop, situated in a fantastic location on the Norfolk Broads.

Crusader Boatyard, North River Drive, Great Yarmou - A fantastic opportunity has arisen to purchase a unique freehold riverside plot with 23 moorings in Great Yarmouth.

The land has been home to a successful marine business for decades, however the freehold is now available which offers a number of different avenues to go down to build and develop a brand new business.

Due to Great Yarmouth being a popular tourist area, the new owner could look to operate private boat hire, guided day trips, increased short term and long-term holiday lets, educational trips with local schools etc. The land which the business sits on is spacious enough to accommodate additional units, so a cafe, office or a simple recreation area could be added to help drive any of the above.

Part of the site includes an attractive residential plot, with around 8000sq ft of space for a barge, houseboat, additional chalet or a mix of all of the above!

1 of the commercial moorings is rented out on an annual basis at £48pswft, equating to £1440 per annum.

The business is no longer trading so the plot is available with vacant possession. This includes the land, moorings, 2 chalets, a workshop and a static boat lifting crane.

Property Description - Chalet 1: Currently registered with commercial usage, and could be rented as a holiday let for around £140 per night.

Chalet 2: Currently registered with residential usage, with potential to rent out for around £600pcm.

Residential Land: The residential land is approximately 8,000sq ft and around 160ft long and 20ft wide. This includes Chalet 2, with room to expand it or even add an additional chalet. The owners currently have their own house boat moored up on this part of the property, so this again could be utilised by the new owner as a residence, or could be changed to commercial usage and rented out as separate commercial moorings. There is also a small brick-built unit on the residential land which houses all of the electrical units. There is ample space on this land for additional units to be built, whether that would be a summer house or an office unit should the land be converted fully to commercial usage.

Workshop/Stores: Moving on the commercial part of the property, there is a brick-built workshop used for tools and equipment. The workshop is mostly open plan, with a smaller area at the far end which acts as a chemical disposal area. Depending on the direction of the business, this can be kept as a workshop or even converted into more of an office building.

Commercial Land: The remainder of the land is mostly used for car parking and storage, however there is enough space for the workshop to be expanded, or an additional commercial unit to be built to help cater for whatever extra demands the business may
have.

Currently there is 7 residential moorings and 16 commercial moorings, and the land stretches over 600ft in length by 20ft in width.
