Summary - THE WILLOWS, 4, BITTERN ISLAND, LOWER STREET NR12 8PF
3 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Secluded single-storey riverside home with moorings and large garden, ideal for boat lovers.
Detached riverside bungalow with direct river frontage and multiple moorings
Set directly on the River Bure, The Willows is a detached single-storey cottage that combines immediate riverside access with a recently refreshed interior. The open-plan living area is designed to maximise river views, with picture windows and glazed doors that open onto a sun deck and large lawn — ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. The property benefits from multiple moorings and approximately 175ft of recently replaced quay heading, making it particularly appealing to boating enthusiasts.
The bungalow has been tastefully renovated in recent years with a modern kitchen, improved insulation and contemporary bathroom finishes. Its compact footprint (around 669 sq ft) and three bedrooms make it practical for small families, downsizers or as a turnkey holiday let — the property has full residential status and a proven holiday-let track record.
Important practical points: the home sits in a high flood-risk zone and uses bottled LPG for heating via a boiler and radiators, which can affect running costs and insurance. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — worth considering if remote working or streaming are priorities. Despite these constraints, the site offers significant lifestyle value: secluded island location, private parking for two, generous riverside garden, and strong appeal for leisure-focused buyers.
Overall, The Willows will suit buyers seeking an exclusive riverside base with immediate boating facilities and low-maintenance, single-level living. It presents clear short-term usability as a holiday let or family retreat, with some ongoing considerations around flood risk, heating fuel and digital connectivity.
