Set along the River Heacham and a very short walk from the beach, this former 60ft coaster has been imaginatively converted into a single-storey, four-bedroom residence with a strong nautical character. The property delivers generous living space including a sun lounge that captures dramatic sunsets, an open-plan kitchen/diner with an electric Aga, and a raised deck overlooking waterside views. Off-street parking and a lawned frontage lead down to a timber jetty, reinforcing the rare waterfront lifestyle on offer.
The layout suits someone wanting level access living with room for visitors or guest suites: four bedrooms all with ensuites, two log burners and plentiful day-lighting from skylights and large windows. The plot is generous for the area and offers extensive views across the Ken Hill estate and immediate access to coastal walking and birdwatching.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and uses private drainage. Heating relies mainly on log burners and electric heaters/Aga, and the dwelling has an EPC rating of F. Construction is an adapted timber-framed boat conversion, so specialist surveys are advisable to confirm condition and insurance/maintenance implications.
This is a distinctive opportunity for someone seeking a single-level coastal property with character and water access. It will particularly suit downsizers or buyers wanting a lifestyle-orientated second residence who are comfortable with the specialist nature of the building and the maintenance and insurance responsibilities that come with waterside living.
