6 bed detached house for sale

New Road, Norwich NR9

Perfect opportunity!

Lodge Farm is a stunning Grade II* listed property situated in the highly sought-after village of Bawburgh, Norwich. The property has been renovated to create a large family home complete with a successful, award winning holiday let business (3 barns) allowing a perfect opportunity for a buyer looking to make a lifestyle change and to run their own business.

The main house offers just under 4000sq ft of living accommodation, blending both modern style and convenience with wonderfully preserved character features as the property dates back to the early 17th century.

The property comes with around 12 years remaining of a commercial renewable heat incentive which would transfer to the new buyers. Extensive insulation was added at the renovation stage to both the walls, roof and floors. Ground source heat pump powers the home for the underfloor heating and low temperature radiators to the upper floors.

Lodge Farm represents a fantastic opportunity to run an already successful holiday letting business. With average occupancy rates of 90% from the 3 barns which have all been converted and presented to a high standard featuring modern kitchens, bathrooms and incorporating their own courtyard garden space. With the proximity of the University of East Anglia and Norwich city centre the owners have found the demand for the rental units consistently high.

We have been advised by the Seller that the annual revenue from the holiday letting business is in the region of £65,000, such information is unverified.
