This rare mooring plot on Thorpe Island offers a ready-made riverside business and lifestyle opportunity. The 0.14-acre plot includes a houseboat, one‑bed bungalow, 10m decked quay head, slipway, shepherd’s hut, workshops and outbuildings, plus 25.4m (approx.) river frontage with direct access to the River Yare, the Broads and Norwich city centre. Mains electricity and water are connected to the buildings.
The site is a registered boatyard with existing business rates currently covered by relief (listed at £880 pa). With planning and the relevant permissions there is scope to develop the site’s commercial potential or retain as a private riverside retreat. The riverside setting is secluded, screened by mature trees, and enjoys uninterrupted water views.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the plot is only accessible by boat, has a high flood risk and will be sold at livestream auction for cash buyers only (guide price £90,000–£110,000). An administration fee (£1,200 inc. VAT) and buyer’s premium (£960 inc. VAT) are payable on exchange; see legal pack for further disbursements. Some structures are rustic and will require upkeep or refurbishment to meet modern standards.
Viewings are by appointment with boat transport offered on specified dates. This lot will suit a buyer seeking a distinctive investment or a rare private island mooring with immediate river access, who accepts the river‑side maintenance, flood exposure and auction purchasing conditions.
