Auction Gem: Historic Windmill on Haddiscoe Island Heads to Auction

22.07.2024

The historic Grade II Listed Red Mill on Haddiscoe Island, a landmark of the East Norfolk Coast, is set to be auctioned on July 24th. This exceptional property, originally built in the mid-19th century as a drainage pump, is heading to auction with Auction House East Anglia and has a guide price of £225,000 - £250,000 (plus fees), offering a unique opportunity for buyers.

An unusual building shape due to its nature, this property boasts surprisingly spacious accommodations, including two bedrooms and a versatile third bedroom located in the mill’s original cap. It has all the expected facilities: a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy circular lounge, and a family bathroom.

   
 
Outside, you will find a charming enclosed garden and BBQ area, ideal for entertaining or relaxing on warm evenings, while the driveway has ample space for two cars.

Situated on Haddiscoe Island, part of the scenic Norfolk Broads, the property is accessible via a picturesque four-mile track over marshland. Despite the remote location, a vibrant community in St Olaves, including a local shop and pub, is just a few miles away. Popular coastal destinations such as Lowestoft and Corton sit just 10 miles away, making Red Mill an ideal tourist destination/accommodation.

Surrounded by idyllic countryside, you can enjoy spectacular views across the marshland from all angles. Residents can soak up the views of the River Yare, and Burgh Castle’s Roman remains.

   


“We are delighted to present the Red Mill at 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.”

The Red Mill, which is with the Norfolk Broads conservation area, is a remarkable property that stands out due to its historical significance and unique architectural features. It presents an ideal investment opportunity, especially for those looking to expand their portfolio of seasonal accommodation.

Heading to auction on July 24th, you can find all the details under lot 13 on the Auction House East Anglia website.
