Summary - Pilgrims House, Walcott Road, Bacton, NORWICH NR12 0EY
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Historic multihouse coastal property with established holiday income and pool barn.
Grade II listed late‑16th‑century thatched complex on ~0.65 acres
Pilgrim’s House is a rare Grade II listed late-16th‑century thatched complex set on about 0.65 acres, a short 400m walk from sandy beaches. The principal house and four adjoining cottages form a small estate around a gravel courtyard, with mature lawns, specimen trees and off‑street parking for six cars. A detached 17th‑century thatched barn houses an indoor pool, sauna, changing rooms and a gym — currently arranged for bookings alongside the cottages.
The site has an established holiday‑letting business, historically generating approximately £190,000–£247,000 pa from the cottages, with a part‑time/full‑time manager in post and existing listing on direct channels and platforms. That operating model can be continued, scaled back for private multigenerational living, or reconfigured; the vendors may consider splitting the lot by negotiation.
Material considerations are straightforward: Grade II listing will impose consent requirements and may complicate alterations; the thatched roofs entail significant ongoing maintenance and insurers/costs should be factored into forecasts. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile reception, and the wider area shows relative deprivation indicators which may affect long‑term rental yields.
This property suits a purchaser seeking a characterful retirement home with income potential, an investor wanting an established holiday complex, or a family desiring generational accommodation by the coast. The combination of historic fabric, recreational barn facilities and the private access to the beach creates a distinctive, if maintenance‑intensive, coastal opportunity.
