Summary - RIVERSIDE LODGE FOLLET CLOSE FLIXTON BUNGAY NR35 1NN
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Luxurious family home with heated pool and flexible riverside studio.
Approximately 0.75 acre secluded riverside plot
An elegant Victorian lodge transformed into a contemporary family home, Riverside Lodge sits in about 0.75 acre of secluded, landscaped grounds with direct access to the River Waveney. The house has been carefully extended and modernised to create light, generous spaces — including a 50ft open-plan living/cinema area that opens onto an entertainment deck and a heated outdoor pool. The detached garden studio with kitchenette and shower room provides flexible space for guests, home working, or let potential.
The principal bedroom is designed for comfort with air conditioning, a dressing area and an en-suite with a hydrotherapy bath; all three bedrooms are en-suite and the ground-floor bedroom includes a steam room. A meticulously specified kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and smart home technology (remote control lighting, heating, pool and irrigation) add convenience and modern efficiency. Heating is via a ground source heat pump with underfloor distribution and the property benefits from recent external insulation and double glazing.
Practical considerations include very slow local broadband speeds and an above-average council tax band, both relevant for homeworking or streaming. The property lies in a quiet hamlet, around three miles from Bungay and eight miles from Beccles, so daily needs are met locally but the location suits buyers seeking privacy and countryside living rather than immediate urban convenience.
Overall this is a rare, characterful home that blends period features with contemporary comfort and technology. It will suit a family looking for generous indoor-outdoor living, riverfront enjoyment and flexible ancillary accommodation, while buyers should note connectivity and running-cost considerations before proceeding.
