LOCATION AND SITUATION

Hall Farm is located on the northwestern edge of Northwold village, Norfolk, just off the A134, being well situated between Swaffham (11 miles) to the north east, Thetford (13 miles) to the south east and Downham Market (11 miles) to the north west which is on the Fen Train Line. Approximate train times: Cambridge (42 minutes), London King's Cross (1 hour 35 minutes) and King's Lynn (14 minutes).

Northwold is a rural settlement which is mentioned in the Domesday Book, being a charming and sought-after village, with recent residential development conversions and boasting many beautiful period properties. There are local amenities including an active Social Club, a Primary School and a Church.
Thetford Forest is only a 17 minute drive (9 miles) to the south offering a wide range of amenities and activities for all.

DESCRIPTION

The offering is all located on the north side of West End, Northwold, comprising The Old Farmhouse which is a traditional farmhouse of three bedroom detached brick, stone and timber frame under a pantile roof. The property has the potential for modernisation and expansion particularly
courtesy of an adjoining former bakehouse well suited to renovation into the living area of the house. The western elevation also attaches to one of the traditional brick and flint farm buildings which could also form part of the future expansion of the dwelling.

The property includes a range of traditional brick and Norfolk flint farm buildings, two more modern buildings and adjoining pasture land to the north of the farmyard extending to approximately 4.25 hectares (10.50 acres).

There is huge scope for development, conversion and diversification across the property (subject to Planning), or for the creation of an smallholding or equestrian property.

PLANNING POTENTIAL

The range of traditional farm buildings has been identified as having significant development potential. A Pre-Application was submitted by the Sellers in December 2022 to the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk to assess the potential for a partial demolition of the modern buildings and a change
of use from agricultural to residential on the traditional buildings for three dwellings.

The outcome of this application is that the principle of the development of the barns would be deemed acceptable in line with current Planning Policy and that if the scheme was designed accordingly and in line with Policy, it is likely a Planning Application would be recommended for Approval. Since receiving the positive decision from the Council, the Sellers have instructed contractors to carry out various essential surveys on the buildings including ecology, species
and structural surveys. The plan (marked A) illustrates the initial suggested development.
