Income-producing rural retreat near coast and market towns.
Four self-contained barn conversions on one very large plot
Set within the rolling hills of Wickmere, this small collection of four converted barns presents a rare mixed residential and holiday-let opportunity on a very large plot. Harvest Barn and Owl Barn hold full residential status, while Corner Barn and Bailey’s Barn are currently restricted to business use, creating a practical on-site management arrangement for a lettings business. The barns are characterful and well-presented, with high ceilings, exposed beams and private garden areas, and sit in a quiet village location with low crime and abundant countryside walks.
The complex is presented as a successful holiday-let operation; Harvest Barn is the largest and is suited as a main residence if required, while Owl Barn could function as an annexe. Parking is available for multiple cars and Harvest Barn benefits from private parking. Services include mains water and electricity, septic tank drainage and mixed heating systems (LPG to some units; oil-fired to others). EPC ratings vary across the site (D and E recorded), and some certificates are yet to be confirmed.
Practical considerations are clear: parts of the site are designated for business use only, broadband speeds are slow and there is no mobile signal on site. Drainage relies on septic tanks and heating fuels differ between barns, which may influence running costs. Council tax is above average and the property is sold freehold. Viewings are by appointment only.
For buyers seeking a countryside lifestyle with income potential, this complex offers immediate trading possibilities and scope for further development (for example, the cart shed by Owl Barn subject to planning). The location is well placed for North Norfolk’s coast, National Trust attractions and local amenities in nearby villages and market towns.
