"The plot which has frontage of 31.4m onto Back Lane is currently overgrown but could offer potential for a range of alternative uses (subject to planning).

"There is also a run-down timber workshop on site and the plot would need attention prior to use."

With the plot of land described as being "slightly broader" to the front than at the back, it lays to the west of White House Farm.

The property description from the auctioneers adds: "There is currently no access onto the site however it previously had a gated access."

Burgh Castle is situated within the Norfolk Broads National Park and is less than four miles away from Gorleston and Great Yarmouth.

The auctioneers said that interested parties "are requested to make their own enquiries to the relevant authorities as to the availability of services."
