A former public house dating back to the Victorian era will go under the hammer on October 20 - complete with permission to convert it into a residential home.

The former Duke of Edinburgh pub in Bacton is listed at a guide price of £250,000 with Auction House East Anglia.

It sits in a plot of just over half an acre and is detached and Victorian in style. Despite its age, the property is not listed, nor in a conservation area, and it could offer new buyers a number of opportunities.

Planning permission was granted earlier this year to convert the property into an eight-bedroom home.

Proposed accommodation would include a sitting room, breakfast room, dining room, kitchen/diner, office, two cloakrooms and a utility on the ground floor, with eight bedrooms - including five en suites - upstairs.

Once converted, the property could make a sizeable family home or perhaps a guesthouse, making use of its seaside location.
