Pebbles Day Nursery was established by our client in 2010 due to lack of quality nursery provision in the vicinity. The property which was the old village school up until 2006 has a total floor area of approx. 6,000 sq. ft and is arranged over two floors making it ideal for a nursery setting or an alternative use such as a Prep School or various care settings such as a Supported Living unit.

The former day nursery which was closed throuhgh choice in June 2020 is situated in the village of Gt Ryburgh, Fakenham which is approx. 16 miles south of Cley-next-the-Sea and Wells-next-the-Sea, both of which are extremely desirable North Norfolk coastal locations popular with those with second / holiday homes who want to enjoy the tranquillity of the coastline.

When trading, the nursery was open for 51 weeks of the years from 8am – 6pm and was owner run and managed. This an ideal opportunity for a hands on owner who is looking for a lifestyle change given the peaceful, semi rural Norfolk location which has limited day nursery competition locally although the property would convert to a domestic family home or specialist care setting.

We have been advised that when the nursery was trading, the majority of the children attending came from the surrounding area including some from Norwich such was the reputation.

The property provides a welcoming feel throughout the building and benefits from good sized classrooms which create a pleasant environment to learn and play for all ages along with a real home from home feel.

The current owners purchased the property in 2009 and since then have spent a great deal of time and money on converting the whole building to accommodate the nursery and owner’s accommodation which boasts three good sized bedrooms, a stunning kitchen diner, exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings and some wonderful period features.

The building was extensively and sympathetically renovated to provide a 37 place children’s nursery one side of the bu

Summary. A superb opportunity to acquire what was a well-established and well respected children’s day nursery situated which could easily be converted into a care facility. Located in a popular Norfolk village close to the North Norfolk Coast with limited competition locally.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique Old School property and location which makes it an ideal purchase for a hands on operator given the owner’s accommodation and peaceful location.
