Crumps Brook, Hopton Wafers, DY14

For Sale by Public Auction - Set within approximately 1.77 acres, the property occupies an appealing rural position with a generous plot offering a blend of open grounds and natural surroundings. The setting provides a sense of privacy and space, whilst remaining accessible to nearby villages and amenities.

The existing dwelling comprises a modest single-storey property offering simple accommodation, including a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In addition, there is a cedar wood chalet, an open wood store, and an outbuilding positioned to the rear of the chalet, providing useful storage and flexibility.

Whilst the current accommodation is functional, the true appeal of the property lies in the opportunity it presents. Full planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment and significant extension of the existing dwelling, creating a substantial and well-designed family home.

The approved scheme introduces a thoughtfully arranged layout extending to include multiple reception rooms, a spacious open-plan living area, and four bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities. The design has been carefully considered to combine traditional architectural styling with modern living requirements, resulting in a property well suited to contemporary family life.

The plot itself is a key feature, extending to approximately 1.77 acres, and offers excellent potential for landscaping, gardens, and further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with both immediate use and significant future potential in an attractive rural location.
