Set on the outskirts of Northwold, this freehold parcel extends to approximately 4 acres (stms) with around 90 metres (stms) of direct River Wissey frontage. The level, open grassland and riparian margin create an immediate riverside retreat for fishing, kayaking, birdwatching and low-impact leisure use. Excellent mobile signal and a peaceful rural setting make it practical for weekend use or as a countryside base.
The land is classified as amenity land and is not available for residential or commercial development — a clear constraint that preserves the site’s natural character but prevents building. There are no recorded flood risks for the parcel; however, services and utilities have not been tested and purchasers should verify availability independently. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect extended remote working plans.
This is a straightforward buy-and-enjoy opportunity for someone seeking outdoor recreation, a private riverside hideaway or a long-term landholding with wildlife interest. Good local access to nearby villages and market towns (Methwold, Brandon, Downham Market) and proximity to Thetford Forest and the Norfolk Fens add further recreational appeal.
Practical note: the guide price is £100,000–£120,000. Prospective buyers should be aware there is a £52 digital ID check charge to comply with AML requirements. All measurements are approximate and purchasers are advised to carry out their own inspections and legal checks regarding rights, services and permitted uses.
