Key information
Property description & features
It was apparently in the 1960s that three ponds were created which have great sporting and amenity value. Pheasants, mallard, teal and gadwall are common while carp are the fish most often caught. There are glades and paths through the woodland which was hitherto integrated into a local farmers' shoot.
The name Dam Hill may relate to the river Glaven where it flows between Smokers Hole, the site of an old watermill to the north and Edgefield Hall, quarter of a mile to the west where at some point in the past the river was canalised as Hempstead Beck. Dam Hill is within the Glaven Valley Conservation Area as the river skirts around Holt to Hunworth before flowing northwards to Cley-next-the-Sea via Thornage and Glandford.
The site is approximately divisible into thirds with the three ponds forming the central section and the 1990s plantations forming the western roadside section while the ancient woodland and workings form the eastern section.
The ponds are shallow and somewhat overgrown while still providing habitat for swans, wildfowl and carp. The younger plantations near the road are mainly softwood trees including pine and larch while intersected by glades. Dam Hill Plantation, the ancient woodland on the east, comprises stands of various hardwood trees interspersed with grassed open areas along sloping ground.
DIRECTIONS Head south from Holt on the B1149 for a mile and, after descending Edgefield Hill climb up the other side, for two hundred yards where the access is a track on the left opposite the drive to Edgefield Hall.

EASEMENTS, WAYLEAVES & RIGHT OF WAY An overhead electricity line runs atop the roadside hedge and there is a right for the neighbouring landlowner to drain his higher land through here and to accept the outfall across to the river Glaven at the northern end. The same party shares reciprocal rights of way with the vendor over the unmade track from the B1149 almost as far as the disused quarry.
TENURE Freehold and with vacant possession on completion of purchase.
ANTO MONEY LAUNDERING LEGISLATION In accordance with the most recent Anti Money Laundering Legislation, buyers will be required to provide proof of identity and address to the selling agent once an offer has been submitted and accepted (subject to contract) prior to solicitors being instructed.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
