An exquisite opportunity to build your dream home in a quintessential Norfolk countryside location within striking distance of the beautiful north Norfolk coast!
The rarest of opportunities to purchase a prime plot of land extending to around 4.75 acres (STMS) with planning permission to create a substantial and individual home nestled in a highly sought-after location in the heart of the most beautiful Norfolk countryside. This unique opportunity will see the creation of a stylish new home designed by local architects with the full plans being available to the successful purchaser.
A traditional double gabled mock Georgian farmhouse, with a blend of contemporary features, whilst creating a highly specified and energy efficient family residence with the added benefit of solar PV and, of course, air source heating is specified within the build.
The impressive design incorporates a number of notable design features including a grand canopy front entrance, contemporary style open balcony off the principal bedroom as well as open plan living spaces flooded with natural light.
Accommodation comprises of five to six bedrooms, perfect for a large family and the opportunity to introduce multi- generational living to the home, as required. All bedrooms are well proportioned with en-suite to ground floor bedroom, principal bedroom as well as family bathroom.
Ultimately the design is a blank canvas with the ability to suit varying individual requirements and, of course, is subject to the full current planning permissions.
Externally demolition of the existing dwelling is required, with provision for the new home to be moved towards the centre of this substantial plot with grounds and paddocks extending in all directions to the far-reaching countryside views beyond.
In addition, planning for a substantial block providing extensive stabling, garaging and open bay cart lodging is specified. Evidently, scope for furtherance or amendment is apparent and subject to the necessary planning consents or variations.
GATELEY A small hamlet, Gateley is set amidst some of the most outstanding countryside in Norfolk with the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve with over 500 acres of land, only three miles away.
This location allows excellent access to the North Norfolk coast with Blakeney being only thirty minutes drive, Norwich City Centre is within fourty minute drive allowing easy access to the International Airport and main line rail links to London Liverpool Street.
The local towns of Fakenham and Dereham are only a short drive away with all amenities including, doctors surgeries, supermarkets, schools, leisure centres and dentists. For the golfing enthusiast there are an abundance of challenging golf courses nearby.
Nestled in the Brecklands, in the heart of the county, Dereham is a classic country market town and an architectural haven with plenty of Georgian gems set on generous plots, blended with more recent developments.
In the eighth century, it is said that the youngest daughter of Anna, King of East Anglia, prayed for a miracle during a famine and two deer appeared every day to provide milk for the nunnery she had founded. When a huntsman tried to snare the deer, he was thrown from his horse - believed to be an act of divine retribution - and killed. The hunt is depicted on a town sign at the entry to Butter Market from the High Street.
Today, a twice weekly market, on Tuesdays and Fridays, along with a strong cohort of independent and specialist shops and free parking make the town a fabulous place for an afternoon spent browsing. Look out for the town's other historic landmarks which include the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage line which runs 1950s railcars to Wymondham Abbey, Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed building which was saved from the brink of destruction, and Bishop Bonner's Cottage, established in 1502 and believed to be the oldest building in town.

Mains electricity and water connected to the existing property.

COUNCIL TAX Not applicable.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATING An Energy Performance Certificate is not required.
TENURE Freehold.
