Equestrian Facility

An incredible and rare opportunity to acquire approximately 6 acres of pastureland/grazing land situated at Thwaite Common, within the sought-after North Norfolk countryside.

The land offers an attractive parcel of open pasture, ideal for agricultural, grazing, recreational or equestrian interests, subject to any necessary consents. Enjoying a peaceful rural setting surrounded by open countryside, this versatile site presents a unique opportunity to secure a substantial acreage in a desirable location.

The current owners have held the land for over five years and, during their ownership, submitted a pre-application enquiry to North Norfolk District Council to explore the potential development of an eco-friendly equestrian centre. The proposal included stabling, an arena/school, paddocks and an on-site caravan. The enquiry was registered on 29th June 2023 under reference DE21|23/1358.

Since submitting the enquiry, the owners have purchased an alternative property and no longer intend to pursue the project, creating an exciting opportunity for a new owner to investigate and potentially progress their own plans, subject to obtaining all necessary consents and approvals. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with North Norfolk District Council regarding planning and development potential.

Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce in North Norfolk, making this a particularly appealing proposition for those seeking land with both immediate use and future potential.

Additional Information

We understand that upon the current owners' purchase of the land, the property became subject to a Deed of Covenant dated 2019. This includes an overage provision whereby 50% of any net development value may become payable for a period of 50 years from July 2003, triggered upon the implementation or sale of a development. Interested parties are advised to seek independent legal advice and satisfy themselves as to the terms and implications of the covenant.

OUTSIDE

Extending to approximately 6 acres (subject to survey), the land comprises a delightful parcel of pasture and grazing land, enjoying a tranquil and picturesque setting amidst the unspoilt North Norfolk countryside.

Predominantly laid to grass, the acreage benefits from open rural views and a peaceful natural environment, creating an ideal setting for agricultural, grazing or equestrian interests, as well as those simply seeking to own a unique slice of the Norfolk countryside. The gently undulating landscape and established boundaries provide both character and versatility, offering a range of potential uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Access is provided via a gated entrance from Goose Lane, allowing convenient access to the land whilst retaining a sense of privacy and seclusion. The substantial acreage presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned parcel of countryside with both immediate enjoyment and future potential.

The land's attractive rural setting, combined with its scale, accessibility and previously explored equestrian potential, makes this a truly unique offering within the North Norfolk market.

SERVICES CONNECTED

Please note there are no services connected to the site. Our client intended to install a solar system for power and private drainage. They were looking at water options - Anglian Water can run water down the road, through the neighbours field but that was rather costly. As they were planning to use is as an equestrian centre they were planning on storing fresh water on site.
