About this property

  • An exceptional rural development opportunity on the edge of the picturesque Raynham Estate. The project comprises planning consent for a detached executive home, in about half an acre with double garage, and a Grade II listed cottage for renovation, with planning consent to extend and remodel. A section 106 agreement dictates that both properties must be sold together, and there is a programme for the works whereby the cottage renovation must be at a certain stage, prior to certain works on the new house being carried out. This is to ensure that the cottage is rightly restored to a habitable home, whilst also introducing a new home into the area. Please refer to the selling agent for further detail.

    9 West Raynham Road
    A Grade II listed cottage, nestled on the end of a terrace of three former estate cottages, where No 9. enjoys the best position with fine views out over countryside. The cottage is currently in need of full renovation and landscaping, and has tremendous scope to create a charming and substantial cottage in this popular area of Norfolk.

    Listed Building consent has been granted to remodel the internal layout, together with extending to the east to add a kitchen with roof lantern. There is provision for dining room and sitting room, utility, WC, boot room and a ground floor bedroom/reception room with en suite shower room. Upstairs there will be three bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms.

    The house sits on a plot of about quarter of an acre, with consent for a large terraced area. The generous plot provides space for landscaping and off street parking.

    Both the neighbouring cottages, no.7 and no.6, have been successful holiday lets, second homes and permanent homes, with both having sold successfully within the past couple of years.

    10 West Raynham Road
    On the opposite side of West Raynham Road is a level plot, of about half an acre, with planning consent for a new detached executive home. Consent for new builds in this area are few and far between, particularly two storey. The new house, of red brick under a pan tile roof, will total about 2,163 sq ft, with a predominantly open plan ground floor layout comprising sitting/dining/kitchen area, a utility, hall and useful shower room. The first floor will host four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, together with a family bathroom. The house will sit centrally within the plot, which has existing mature trees on the perimeter, and there is planning consent for a double garage, timber clad with a pantile roof.
