The sandy beaches of Hemsby, Scratby and Winterton-on-Sea are only a short drive away, offering miles of coastline, dunes and traditional seaside charm.

Transport connections are straightforward, with the A149 providing access to Great Yarmouth, Stalham and the wider Norfolk region. Regular bus services operate through the area, whilst rail services can be accessed from nearby Acle and Great Yarmouth.

Fleggburgh Road, Rollesby

Occupying an attractive rural position on the edge of the sought-after Broadland village of Rollesby, this rare development opportunity extends to approximately 0.75 acres (stms) and enjoys outstanding views across open countryside to both the front and rear.

Offered with a gated entrance and a wealth of potential, the site presents an exciting prospect for builders, developers or those seeking to create a distinctive Norfolk home in a peaceful village setting.

At the heart of the site stands a Norfolk red brick and tile barn situated within the curtilage of a Grade II listed building, a structure rich in character and heritage that now requires comprehensive renovation. The barn offers the opportunity to restore and preserve an important piece of local architectural history, whilst creating a unique residence subject to the necessary consents and approvals.

In addition to the listed barn, the site includes the remains of an eight-bay cart lodge that has been affected by fire, together with the foundations of a former barn that previously occupied part of the site. Subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions and listed building consents where required, there is potential to reinstate these structures and maximise the site's full potential.

The setting is a particular highlight. Surrounded by open farmland and enjoying a distinctly rural atmosphere, the property offers a wonderful sense of space and privacy whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities and the wider Norfolk Broads. The combination of countryside views, substantial plot size and historic buildings creates a unique canvas for a sympathetic redevelopment project.

Practical infrastructure is already in place, with an electricity supply connected to the barn and water available to both the barn and former barn foundations. These existing services provide a useful starting point for future plans and development aspirations.

Development sites of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly those offering a blend of heritage, land and countryside surroundings. Whether restored as an impressive individual residence or developed in accordance with the relevant permissions, this represents an exceptional opportunity to unlock the potential of a highly individual Norfolk site within a desirable village location.
