Barton Turf 3 Bedroom detached house

About this Property

Hidden away in a private and peaceful corner of the Broads is this impressive and unique waterside property, set in well established grounds extending for approximately 0.5 acres with extensive off road parking and 150ft of private moorings including a 49ft long covered dock.

The site was bought in the early 1980s by the architect who went on to design the current house which was completed in 1988.  Of brick and block construction set upon steel and concrete piles to an award winning standard, recognised for its design, specification and craftsmanship. It has been used by the family as a beloved year-round second home ever since.

The generous upside-down accommodation consists of an entrance hall, cloakroom, two double ground floor bedrooms both served by en-suite bathroom/shower rooms. The spacious first floor comprises a 26ft long triple aspect kitchen/dining room, utility room, bedroom 3 and a 27ft long triple aspect living room with access out onto a large south facing balcony/sun terrace.

Other features include UPVC sealed unit double glazing, electric heating complemented by a 9kw wood burner stove and mahogany internal doors.

Unseen from the road, the property looks out over Lime Kiln Dyke and is located approximately one mile from Barton Broad, the area’s second largest broad, hugely popular for both cruisers and sailing and thought to be where Lord Nelson learned to sail, with access to the entire Broads network.
