Designed by its original architect and completed in 1988 to award-winning standards, this distinctive waterside house sits unseen from the road on an established half-acre plot. The property is built on steel and concrete piles with quality finishes such as mahogany internal doors and UPVC sealed-unit double glazing. Living is arranged upside-down: a generous 26ft kitchen/dining room and a 27ft living room open to a large south-facing balcony with direct water views.
Outdoor assets are exceptional for the area: approximately 150ft of quay-headed moorings, including a covered 49ft dock with electricity and water, a workshop, greenhouse and extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The site has direct access to the Broads network and is about a mile from Barton Broad.
Practical considerations are equally important. The property uses electric heating supplemented by a 9kW wood burner, has treatment-plant drainage, and lies within a high flood-risk area managed by the Broads Authority. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. Two adjacent waterside building plots have planning permission and a granted right of way, which may affect privacy and access arrangements.
This home suits downsizers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance, high-amenity waterside base with strong nautical credentials. Prospective purchasers should commission a survey, cost an appropriate flood and insurance strategy, and check services before committing.
