Description
LOCATION
Stalham is a traditional market town positioned in the heart of the northern Norfolk Broads, just 15 miles northeast of Norwich and 8 miles southeast of North Walsham. Known as one of the key gateways to the Broads National Park, Stalham offers an attractive blend of waterside leisure, local heritage and strong transport links.
The High Street provides a full range of local amenities, including supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, pubs, restaurants, doctors, dentists, and essential services.
The town benefits from good road links via the A149, providing direct access to Norwich, the coastal resort of Great Yarmouth, and the North Norfolk coast. Regular bus services connect Stalham to surrounding towns and villages, while Norwich Railway Station offers onward services to London Liverpool Street in under two hours.
Immediate Surroundings
Simpson's Boatyard occupies a prime position at The Staithe, a central mooring basin in Stalham. It sits adjacent to the Museum of the Broads and within walking distance of the High Street. Neighbouring occupiers include other established boatyards, boat hire companies, and marine service providers, reinforcing the area's strong maritime identity.
The property's waterside location not only enhances its appeal to leisure operators but also underpins its long-term investment value.
The Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads National Park is a unique network of rivers, lakes, and waterways stretching over 125 miles, attracting millions of visitors each year for boating, fishing, birdwatching, walking, and cycling. The River Ant, which flows directly past Simpson's Boatyard, links to the larger Broads network, offering navigable routes to Wroxham, Horning, and beyond to the coast.
The Broads are famed for their natural beauty, wildlife habitats, and historic waterside villages. The area enjoys year-round tourism, supporting a thriving leisure and holiday industry.
DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a well-established boat yard facility with extensive water frontage, slipway, moorings, and multiple buildings, together with two residential properties and a paddock area currently used for camping and overflow parking.
The site includes:
* Riverside Cottage - a beautiful four bedroom detached house with kitchen, dinning room, living room.
* Solace Lodge - a two bedroom property with balcony overlooking the boat yard.
* Workshop - the 10 tonne gantry crane.
* 3 x Boathouses
* New Build Plots (planning consent granted for 3 dwellings: 1 x 2-bed, 1 x 3-bed, 1 x 4-bed)
* Moorings
* Paddock / Camping Area
PLANNING
The property benefits from planning consent for three new residential units, offering scope to enhance income and capital value. Full details can be obtained from The Broads Authority planning portal - reference BA/2022/0281/FUL.
INVESTMENT & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The boat yard is currently let, but vacant possession will be provided.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a mixed-use riverside site with both immediate income potential and significant development scope.
The location and planning status make it attractive to:
* Property investors seeking income-producing assets
* Owner-occupiers in the marine or leisure sector
* Developers looking to add value through residential development
