Gate House, Rectory Road, Hockering, Norfolk, NR20 3HW

Gate House offers an excellent investment and development opportunity offered for sale by auction, situated within the sought-after village of Hockering, approximately 11 miles west of Norwich. Gate House occupies a private cul-de-sac position, offering privacy and seclusion while remaining conveniently placed for local amenities, transport links, and access to the A47.

The property is a substantial semi-detached residence requiring comprehensive updating throughout, providing purchasers with the ideal blank canvas to refurbish, reconfigure, or potentially redevelop, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The accommodation is generously proportioned and currently arranged to provide five bedrooms, making it suitable for a large family home, multi-generational living, or a high-yield rental or resale project once improved.

Externally, the property benefits from a detached garage measuring approximately 6 metres x 6 metres, offering ample space for secure parking, storage, or potential workshop use. The garage further enhances the appeal for owner-occupiers and investors alike.

One of the most notable features of Gate House is the large accompanying parcel of land, which significantly increases the property's long-term potential. The land may offer development possibilities, subject to obtaining the relevant consents (STPP). This aspect will be of particular interest to developers and investors seeking opportunities for extension, additional dwellings, or alternative uses, depending on planning outcomes.

The private road setting creates a peaceful environment, rarely available within village locations, while still being within easy reach of nearby market towns and Norwich city centre. Hockering itself offers a range of local amenities, including a village shop, public house, primary school, and community facilities, making it a popular and well-regarded residential area.

The property is in need of modernisation throughout, and buyers should expect to carry out significant works. However, this is reflected in the guide price and presents a rare opportunity to add value through renovation or redevelopment. Properties with this level of space, land, and potential in such a location are increasingly scarce.

Gate House represents a compelling proposition for developers, builders, landlords, and owner-occupiers seeking a project with strong upside potential. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the scope of accommodation, land, and future possibilities on offer.
