Summary

An exciting development opportunity comprising a collection of traditional former agricultural buildings, extending to approximately 18,000 sq ft combined, set within an attractive site of jut over one acres with far reaching views. Additional land is available via separate negotiation.

Formerly operating as a piggery, the site offers a substantial footprint and an increasingly scarce opportunity for redevelopment within a highly regarded Norfolk village. Offered without planning consent, it provides purchasers with a blank canvas to explore a range of potential uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The vendor may consider a conditional offer.

The buildings lend themselves to conversion, replacement or reconfiguration, subject to consent.

Opportunities of this scale, in such a well-connected yet rural setting, are becoming increasingly limited.

Location

The site is situated in Burgh Castle, a well-regarded village on the western edge of the Norfolk Broads, offering a strong balance of rural character and accessibility. The village provides a range of everyday amenities including a local primary school, village shop, public house, church and community facilities, supporting its appeal as a sustainable residential location.

Burgh Castle is also home to the Roman Fort of Burgh Castle, one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the country, forming part of the area’s historic landscape and contributing to its distinct sense of place.

Burgh Castle lies approximately:

Norwich – around 20 miles to the west
Great Yarmouth – around 6 miles to the east
Lowestoft – around 10 miles to the south-east
Acle – around 7 miles to the west

The nearby A47 provides direct road links to Norwich and the wider road network, while rail services are available from Great Yarmouth and Acle, offering connections across Norfolk and beyond. The area continues to see steady demand for residential development, driven by its proximity to the coast, the Broads and key employment centres.

Our Agent's View

"This is a compelling opportunity for developers and investors seeking scale, flexibility and location. With around 18,000 sq ft of existing structures, over an acre of land and further land available, the site offers genuine potential in a market where well-located development opportunities are increasingly hard to find."
