About this Property
Thought to date back to the early 1900s, this unique riverside residence is full of character and charm, whilst also benefitting from a comprehensive programme of renovations.
The original timber construction now sits upon steel and concrete piles and the thatched roof was completely replaced in 2018.
Other recent major works include the installation of a private treatment plant, a replacement bore hole, and a new central heating boiler.
Set upon the banks of the Bure, in one of the Broads’ most sought-after locations, this charismatic and inviting property is currently run as a well-established, high-earning holiday let but is equally suitable as a colourful and comfortable main residence or as a perfectly positioned second home.
The versatile accommodation includes a stunning triple-aspect, open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings, wooden floors and a wall of glazed doors leading out onto a raised deck offering commanding views out over the river. There are 5 bedrooms serviced by 4 shower/bathrooms, one of which is set behind the boathouse with an adjacent games room/sitting room offering a
ready-made annex.
The 45ft long wet boathouse itself provides a generous covered mooring with a private mooring basin measuring approx. 70ft x 30ft.
The private, south-facing garden provides a further raised sun deck, additional covered seating, a covered hot tub (available by negotiation), and extensive private
parking.
Available with no onward chain, early viewing is strongly recommended.
