Summary - Marsh Farm, Low Road, Norton Subcourse NR14 6SA
4 bed 1 bath Farm House
1700s detached riverside farmhouse on c.5 acres — renovation project with mooring potential.
Approximately 5-acre plot with river frontage and mooring options
Set on about five acres (subject to survey) with direct river frontage, this detached 1700s farmhouse offers rare rural seclusion and mooring potential for boats. The house provides approximately 1,190 sq ft of period accommodation arranged over two floors, including two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, lean-to, and four bedrooms with extensive countryside views. The large grounds combine formal garden, paddock and a substantial pond — a blank canvas for small-scale farming, equestrian or wildlife projects.
The property is sold needing renovation: there is no central heating system and only electric heaters are assumed. The walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated; double glazing was installed before 2002. Water is supplied by a borehole and drainage is via a septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important factors for anyone needing reliable connectivity.
Access is remote: a two-mile unmade track and a rail crossing are required to reach the house, and there are twin gated entrances. This remoteness underpins the tranquillity and privacy but will affect everyday convenience, deliveries and commute times. Flood risk is recorded as high, although note there has been no flooding since 1952 and flood defences have been installed around the property.
For buyers seeking a project and the chance to create a self-reliant riverside home, this site presents significant potential. Renovation could unlock comfortable family living or a rural retreat with mooring. For purchasers unwilling or unable to carry out substantial works, this will be a challenging purchase due to refurbishment, services and access requirements.
