Summary - PARKWOOD MEADOW DRIVE HOVETON NORWICH NR12 8UN
3 bed 3 bath Detached Bungalow
Spacious three-bed family home with private boat shed and panoramic garden views.
Direct private River Bure frontage with quay head and slipway
An exceptional waterside bungalow set directly on the River Bure, Parkwood combines generous living spaces with private river access and extensive outdoor grounds. The house centres on a bespoke Mulberry kitchen/dining room and a grand sitting room that includes a dedicated study area — practical for family life and for home working. A light-filled garden room and raised patio frame long river and garden views, while a substantial boat shed with quay head and slipway provides secure storage for boating enthusiasts.
The principal suite is arranged for comfort with a walk-in wardrobe, balcony overlooking the river and an adjacent luxurious bathroom; two further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom accommodate family or guests. Practical features include a functional utility room, two garages, twin driveways and oak flooring throughout. The property has been maintained and improved by the current owners, retaining period character from its 1920s construction alongside high-end fittings.
Buyers should note material considerations: the site is within a high flood-risk zone and will require flood-aware insurance and management. The home dates from the 1920s, so while well maintained, there may be ongoing maintenance and updating needs typical of older properties. Local statistics show above-average crime and higher area deprivation than nearby urban centres, which some buyers will want to weigh alongside the exceptional riverside setting.
Parkwood suits a family seeking an exclusive riverside lifestyle with boat access and generous outdoor space, and will also appeal to owners who value character, high-spec interiors and privacy. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, river frontage and the scope of the garden, while assessing flood mitigation and long-term maintenance requirements.
