Summary - 82 North East Riverbank, Potter Heigham NR29 5NE
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Charming two-bed riverside bungalow with private slipway — best for cash buyers or downsizers.
37ft private river frontage with slipway for dinghies and fishing
A rare riverside bungalow set directly on the River Thurne, this two-bedroom home offers unspoilt character, a triple-aspect sun room and approximately 37ft of private river frontage with its own slipway. Southerly-facing windows capture bright light and peaceful water views — ideal for quiet mornings watching river life or for launching a dinghy or kayak from your doorstep. The layout is compact and traditional, with an open-plan living/kitchen area, two modest bedrooms and a shower room.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, scenic retreat rather than a full-time family home. The chalet-style timber construction and small overall size (about 384 sq ft) mean the accommodation is cosy; contents are included, and a leasehold garage can be bought separately if required. Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected and double glazing was installed post-2002, but heating is by electric room heaters only.
Important practical considerations: the property is leasehold with around 60 years remaining, which commonly restricts mortgage lending and will deter many mortgage providers. The site lies in a high flood-risk area and is accessible only by river and footpath, which affects convenience, insurance and long-term resilience. Ground rent and service charge total £145 per annum; a garage is offered by separate negotiation (circa £10–12k).
Because of the lease length, flood risk and access constraints, this home is most suitable for cash buyers, downsizers wanting a riverside base, or buyers seeking a holiday/second home with direct river access. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising unique waterside location and character over modern space and conventional mortgageability.
