Wroxham 5 Bedroom Detached House

About this Property

A truly iconic Broads residence that combines a distinctive yet traditional exterior with a spacious, contemporary styled interior. Set within approximately three acres of gardens and grounds leading down to the River Bure with extensive private moorings and spectacular views. Laying claim to one of the area’s most sought after addresses, this really is the perfect family home in the ultimate riverside location.

Believed to date back to 1907, the property is of brick and timber construction with timber cladding under a thatched roof and offers substantial accommodation extending to over 4,700 sq ft. The ground floor consists of a generous reception hall, an L-shaped, dual aspect living room, sitting room, games room, study, utility room, cloakroom, rear entrance hall and a simply stunning and recently remodelled open plan and double bay fronted kitchen/dining/family room.

The first floor comprises the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom.

Outside the property offers extensive private parking for multiple vehicles, a detached double garage and approximately three acres of private, well stocked grounds that run down to the water’s edge, offering 190ft of quay headed frontage directly onto the River Bure, with an additional 130ft of quay heading including a boat lift leading out to the river via the mooring basin adjacent to the property.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain and has been priced to reflect the fact that remedial works are required to the exterior of the building, but this seminal Broadland property has the scale and the scope and the situation that ensure that, with those works completed, it will be amongst the very finest that the area has to offer.
