The Manor House, Coast Road, Bacton, Norfolk

The Manor House & The Little Hay Barn are two separate properties set within a plot of approximately ¾ of an acre, offering an exceptional opportunity for family living alongside a successful holiday let business. The former is a charming three-to-four-bedroom Grade II Listed 16th-century manor house, which has retained many of its original features and now presents as a beautiful and versatile family home. The Little Hay Barn, formerly a rustic barn, has been lovingly converted into an exceptional and very successful one-bedroom holiday let, providing an established income opportunity. Adjacent to the Little Hay Barn is a further small barn with potential for conversion, subject to the usual permissions, with electrics, ASHP heating and water already in place.

Situated in the heart of the North Norfolk coastal village of Bacton, the properties are within easy reach of local amenities including pubs, shops, cafés, takeaways and a fish and chip shop, together with the village’s fine golden sandy beach. Bacton Woods provides an enjoyable destination for families and dog walkers, while nearby Happisburgh, Walcott and Mundesley offer further sandy beaches, coastal walks and opportunities for cycling and outdoor pursuits. Nature reserves, RSPB sanctuaries and seal-spotting locations are also within easy reach. For dining and an evening drink, there are several popular pubs nearby, including the Poacher’s Pocket and The Lighthouse Inn in Walcott, with a wider choice available in Mundesley and the market town of North Walsham.

Set back from the road, the Manor House is approached via a private driveway providing off-road parking. The generous grounds include neatly maintained lawns, an orchard, woodland, a timber storage shed and a paved terrace, creating a peaceful setting for alfresco dining and entertaining.

Inside, the Manor House is beautifully presented and retains a wealth of original character, including exposed beams, fireplaces and brickwork. An entrance hallway leads to two reception rooms, both featuring magnificent fireplaces, with one offering the potential to be reconfigured as an additional bedroom if required. There is also a kitchen with separate utility room, ground-floor shower and storage room. To the first floor are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from pre-planning approval from the Conservation Officer to create two separate bedrooms if required, together with a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The Little Hay Barn has been equally thoughtfully converted and provides an impressive open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining room, together with a spacious en-suite bathroom.

The properties are ideally positioned for exploring the Norfolk coast and Norfolk Broads, with National Trust properties including Blickling and Felbrigg, and the historic city of Norwich all within easy reach. Surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and established garden areas, The Manor House and The Little Hay Barn also enjoy a wonderful wildlife-rich setting, while their proximity to the beach makes them particularly appealing to walkers and watersports enthusiasts.
