Rarely available, this enchanting detached bungalow is set on approximately 10 acres of mature woodland. Stonebeck at 2 Cromer Road in Hainford will be offered in our October auction with a guide price of £250,000 - £300,000 (plus fees), making it an enticing prospect for those looking to acquire a substantial plot with significant scope for redevelopment.
Blank canvas
Stepping inside, you are met with a property that has stood the test of time, remaining in the same family for over 50 years. Built of non-standard construction, the bungalow now awaits a fresh vision to unlock its full potential. While modernisation is required throughout, the scale and setting of the home present an exciting canvas for buyers to work with.
Stonebeck’s current layout features a spacious sitting room, four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC, all thoughtfully arranged around the kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. These spaces provide a flexible foundation, allowing for the option to extend or adapt the existing structure.
Impressive grounds
The outside space, however, is where this lot truly shines. The grounds extend to almost 10 acres (stms), featuring established wooded gardens that create a peaceful haven for wildlife. The setting establishes an enviable sense of privacy, making it the perfect retreat from the pace of modern life.
Mature trees afford year-round interest, while the expansive land offers endless possibilities, from creating formal landscaped gardens to installing a swimming pool or tennis courts. Existing garages and various outbuildings, though in need of attention, present further opportunities to maximise the potential of this remarkable site.
Peaceful surroundings
Situated just seven miles north of Norwich, Hainford is a charming, close-knit village that combines rural living with excellent access to the city’s cultural and shopping attractions.
The village itself boasts a primary school and a quaint country pub, a favourite gathering spot for locals. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the surrounding countryside, perfect for walking and cycling, while the nearby Norfolk Broads and coastline provide further landscapes for adventure.

Also offered by the same seller, and available as a separate lot in the auction, is an additional 10-acre parcel of land in Hainford. This valuable block of amenity land is guided at £80,000 - £100,000 (plus fees) and occupies a prominent position with direct frontage onto the main Cromer Road.
Most recently used for equestrian purposes, it could suit a variety of amenity, leisure or agricultural uses, subject to the necessary consents. Whether considered in conjunction with Stonebeck or as a standalone acquisition, it represents an excellent investment.
Unleash your creativity
Director and Auctioneer Bryan Baxter comments: “It is exceptionally rare to see not just one, but two significant lots of land in such a convenient and accessible location available at auction. Stonebeck provides a unique opportunity for privacy and seclusion, and considerable scope for redevelopment or enhancement. Alongside this, a 10-acre parcel of amenity land presents further potential for imaginative buyers.
“We anticipate strong interest from a wide range of purchasers, whether they are looking for a family home in a rural setting or are keen to explore the development possibilities these remarkable lots offer.”
