Description

This historic property, once the Rule & Compasses Public House dating back to 1789, presents a rare opportunity to invest in a piece of Wymondham's heritage. Transitioned to residential use post-1967, it is now available on the market with no onward chain for a quick sale. Occupying over one-third of an acre, the property features numerous outbuildings and significant potential for extension or development (subject to planning permission). Spanning approximately 2,000 sq ft, the current layout offers ample space that could be transformed into a modern family home while retaining its character. Although the property requires updating and modernization throughout, its generous plot size and rural setting with unobstructed field views enhance its appeal as a renovation project. With close proximity to essential amenities and highly rated schools plus convenient transport links to Norwich and Cambridge, this home combines countryside charm with practical everyday living. Early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate its scale and inherent potential.
