A unique and exciting opportunity to acquire the former Dereham Maltings building, steeped in history and potential. The site is located close to the town centre, lending itself to a range of redevelopment prospects. This attractive complex of nineteenth century maltings buildings are disused and vacant. Initial works have been carried out in line with the permission granted for a program of repairs and refurbishment. The existing building is Grade II* listed with a pillbox which can be seen from afar and was built during World War II to guard the goods yard.

Formerly known as F & G Smith Maltings, this impressive Victorian construction stands as a listed building, built in 1870 and extended 1894. According to British Listed Buildings, this is a very complete and rare example of a surviving medium sized maltings.

The existing Norwich Road access would form a safe and desirable pedestrian / cycle link from the site to the town centre which is a short distance away.
