Rare opportunity to own a 'charming' historic property on tiny island
The Red Mill on Haddiscoe Island, a landmark of the East Norfolk Coast, is set to be auctioned in just a few weeks with a guide price of £225,000 - £250,000.
A unique property has just hit the Norfolk real estate market and it's sure to turn heads. The historic Grade II Listed Red Mill on Haddiscoe Island, a well-known landmark of the East Norfolk Coast, is set to go under the hammer in a few weeks on July 24.
Originally constructed in the mid-19th century as a drainage pump, this carefully converted landmark carries a guide price of £225,000 - £250,000 (plus fees) and presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for prospective buyers.
The Red Mill, marketed by Auction House East Anglia, is a truly special piece of rural property located where the Yare and Waveney rivers converge on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. Ideal for those seeking a secluded retreat, the only access to the island is via the nearby village of St Olaves.
While the building exudes old-world charm and beauty from the exterior, the interior offers surprisingly ample living space. With two bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen, a cosy circular lounge, and a family bathroom, it promises more than your average home.
The mill's original cap houses a versatile third bedroom. Outside, a delightful enclosed garden and barbecue area provide the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding on balmy evenings, while the driveway offers plenty of room for two vehicles, reports the Mirror.
Nestled on Haddiscoe Island, part of the picturesque Norfolk Broads, this property is reached via a scenic four-mile track through marshland. Despite its remote setting, there's a thriving community in the nearby village of St Olaves, complete with a local shop and the historic Bell Inn.
The property offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with breathtaking vistas across the marshland from every angle. Residents can enjoy the sight of the River Yare and the Roman remains at Burgh Castle.
The Red Mill stands out for its historical importance and unique architectural features. Bryan Baxter, director and auctioneer at Auction House East Anglia, said: "We are thrilled to bring the Red Mill to auction, a rare gem in our local landscape that you don't see every day.
"Its charm and secluded location make it an ideal investment for holiday rentals, attracting tourists seeking a distinctive getaway experience."
Popular coastal destinations such as Lowestoft and Corton are just 10 miles away, making the Red Mill a perfect purchase for beach enthusiasts and investors alike.
