This wonderful Norfolk farm, which we are told has not been on the market for in excess of 40 years, can be viewed by some quite exquisite drone footage within this listing and rests on a circa 2.5-acre site in South Walsham only a few miles and a short drive away from Acle, Norwich which is known well locally as the gateway to the Norfolk Broads.
The property comprises a three-bedroom period cottage dating back to at least 1866 which is evidenced within the ordnance survey map.
Professional photography has grasped the tradition of this wonderful property which sits at the top left of the entrance and boasts some quite outstanding outside space, and which a floor plan has been provided to show its traditional layout.
Within the courtyard entrance, which is centered by a delightful walnut tree are a number of outbuildings, including stables which may with the consent of Broadlands council be converted to dwellings once all of the necessary consents are applied for and are in place.
The land which has been predominantly fenced is mainly laid to grass, inclusive of an attractive apple orchard, and very well gated, with a good sense of security having been considered over the years.
Over the years the farm has held sheep, has enjoyed some equestrian use, as well as more recently a training location for sheep dogs, which kennels are still largely in place with a number of ‘collies’ still in residence.
It should also be noted that the land was also once a residence for an additional 5-bed dwelling which was sadly lost to fire some years ago with some evidence of its position.
The auction sale is subject to probate being granted, and is expected to attract a good level of interest given a unique selection of opportunities to rework the existing space, with great access to the road, and is largely neighbour free.
Viewings are strictly on an appointment-only basis with the vendors not wishing for any potential buyers to turn up unannounced given its rural location and must be accompanied by the Agent without exception.
A 5% deposit is required by 12pm midday on the following working day after the auction. The auction conditions require a full legal completion to take place within 28 days from exchange (unless otherwise stated) or at a date to suit by mutual consent of both parties.
The winning buyer will be charged a sum of £5,000 online. From this, a buyers fee of £2,400 (including VAT) is retained by Town and Country Property Agents Limited t/as Country Property Auctions as a contribution towards online platform costs and £2,600 is payable towards the purchase price.
An additional auction fee of 2.4% (including VAT) less the £2,400 already paid (subject to a minimum of £6,000 (incl. VAT) in total and will be payable by the winning buyer by 12pm the next working day after the auction, Town and Country Property Agents Limited t/a Country Property Auctions will invoice the buyer for this amount separately.
Exchange will occur online, immediately when the timer reaches zero (provided the reserve has been met). The purchaser is legally bound to buy and the vendor is legally bound to sell the Property/Lot.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
