Set directly on the river, this three-bedroom detached home is designed for waterside living. Expansive picture windows and balconies on each level deliver panoramic river views, while a private 60ft mooring and newly built boathouse make the property genuinely boat-ready. The top-floor living space with vaulted ceiling and Velux windows is a bright focal point, ideal for informal family time or entertaining.
Internally the house is versatile and substantial — about 4,009 sq ft across three floors — with two large reception rooms, a modern kitchen/dining area and useful storage throughout. A gated gravel driveway leads to a very large garage with WC and utility area, adding practical space for cars, equipment or workshop use. The wide, wrap-around garden and elevated plot enhance privacy and the uninterrupted water outlook.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the property has a high flood risk and sits within a Broads Authority area, so flood precautions and insurance costs will be significant. The main construction is timber-frame from the 1970s and, although double glazing has been upgraded post-2002, the EPC is rated E. Council tax is above average, and local crime statistics and area deprivation indicators are higher than typical — all factors to verify before proceeding.
Offered with no onward chain and freehold tenure, this home will suit boating enthusiasts or families seeking an exceptional riverside lifestyle who are prepared to manage flood resilience, maintenance and running costs. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, room proportions and mooring potential firsthand.
