Neatherd Moor, Dereham NR20

Situated within a screened section of the current grounds of Old Farmhouse, this attractive building plot presents a rare opportunity to create a detached home in a private setting on the edge of Neatherd Moor.

The plot benefits from full planning permission (Ref: Pl/2025/0782/fmin) for the construction of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom detached bungalow. The approved scheme has been thoughtfully designed to reflect traditional Norfolk architectural styling while providing a practical layout suited to contemporary living.

Access is provided via the existing private driveway serving Old Farmhouse, while the screened position of the plot has been carefully considered to preserve privacy and independence between the two dwellings.

Surrounded by established greenery and open countryside, the plot offers a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently placed for Dereham town centre and the A47. This is an increasingly rare opportunity for self-builders, developers or buyers looking to create a new home within an established and secluded location.

Neatherd moor
Positioned alongside the unspoilt landscape of Neatherd Moor, the property enjoys immediate access to one of Dereham’s most cherished natural environments. The Moor offers acres of open grassland, woodland and scenic walking routes, creating an idyllic backdrop for those who enjoy outdoor living, dog walking, running or simply the tranquillity of nature.

The setting offers a genuine sense of escape, with wildlife and seasonal landscapes providing year-round interest, yet remains remarkably convenient for everyday living.

Dereham itself is a thriving and well-established Norfolk market town, situated approximately 15 miles west of Norwich and around 25 miles east of King’s Lynn. The town offers an extensive range of amenities including Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl supermarkets, alongside independent retailers, cafés, bakeries and traditional local businesses. A twice-weekly market further enhances the town’s strong community character.

Educational facilities are well regarded, including primary schools and Dereham Neatherd High School, while healthcare services, leisure facilities and transport connections are all readily accessible. Dereham Leisure Centre, local sports clubs, public houses and restaurants contribute to a well-rounded lifestyle, while the surrounding Norfolk countryside offers endless opportunities for recreation and exploration.
