'CHARMING' WINDMILL WITH INCREDIBLE COASTAL VIEWS IN REMOTE LOCATION FOR SALE

A new addition to the Norfolk property market is anything but run-of-the-mill and is likely to cause quite a stir.

The historic Grade II Listed Red Mill on Haddiscoe Island, a landmark of the East Norfolk Coast, is set to be auctioned in just a few weeks on July, 24. Originally built in the mid-19th century as a drainage pump, the carefully converted landmark has a guide price of £225,000 - £250,000 (plus fees) and offers a unique opportunity for buyers.

Heading to the market with Auction House East Anglia, the Red Mill is a very special piece of rural real estate where the Yare and Waveney rivers meet on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk. Perfect for homeowners looking for a remote bolthole, the only point of access to the island is from the nearby village of St Olaves.

The unusual building oozes old-world charm and beauty on the outside, but on the inside, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious. Offering two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy circular lounge and a family bathroom, it is a much more exciting prospect than a regular house.

In the mill's original cap, there is a versatile third bedroom. Outside, a charming enclosed garden and BBQ area await, 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. But despite the remote location, there is a vibrant community in the local village of St Olaves, including a local shop and the historic Bell Inn.

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.

The Red Mill is a remarkable property that stands out due to its historical significance and unique architectural features. Bryan Baxter, director and auctioneer for Auction House East Anglia, said: "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.”

Popular coastal destinations such as Lowestoft and Corton are also just 10 miles away, making Red Mill an ideal purchase for beach lovers and investors alike.
