An extensive block of approximately 36.15 hectares (89.35 acres) of productive Grade 3 grazing marsh with direct River Bure frontage, extensive reedbeds and drainage ditches. The holding offers strong environmental value and existing stewardship payments over a portion of the land, plus licensed grazing through 31 October 2025. The landscape, waterside setting and historic Five Mile House Windpump create unique amenity and biodiversity interest.
The Grade II listed windpump is a standout feature with panoramic marsh and river views and potential for alternative use, but its listed status will make conversion or significant works challenging and will require specialist consents. The land sits in a naturally high water-table coastal flats area with medium flood risk; drainage is managed by the Broads drainage board and current drainage rates are £904.12 for 2025. Buyers must take over parts of the existing Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier Agreement to 31 December 2027 and indemnify the seller for any post-completion non-compliance.
Practical notes: the holding is freehold, accessed directly from the A47 via double gates and a cattle pen, and is licensed to a grazier for the current season. Utilities and connectivity are mixed — excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels; services lie in nearby Great Yarmouth and Norwich. This property will suit purchasers seeking large-scale grazing, conservation management, or a specialist restoration project rather than a straightforward residential conversion.
Potential purchasers should allow for conservation obligations, listed-building constraints, ongoing drainage responsibilities and stewardship commitments when assessing value. Viewing and due diligence are essential for understanding boundaries, water management needs and planning viability for the listed windpump.
