Set directly on a quiet back dyke within the Norfolk Broads, this mid-terrace townhouse offers genuine waterside living with a private double mooring and timber jetty. Renovated in recent years, the house presents ready-to-use accommodation including a refitted kitchen, upgraded bathrooms and a glass-roof conservatory that captures river views and light. The integral garage and decent plot make day-to-day life straightforward for owners with a boat or who enjoy easy canal access.
The property’s riverside position is the primary value driver: 30ft double mooring provides direct access to the River Bure and the wider Broads, ideal for boating and waterside leisure. Internally the layout works for a small family or second-home use — entrance hall, lounge/diner, conservatory, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms (including a master with en-suite) and family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place, and the house sits within the Broads Authority area a short walk from Hoveton/Wroxham amenities and transport links to Norwich.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The property sits in a high flood-risk zone, which affects insurance and long-term resilience. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, and recorded local crime is above average. The terraced siting and modest garden reduce the external space compared with detached riverside homes. These points are important for families or buyers expecting large outdoor areas or simple, low-cost ownership.
Overall, this is a well-presented, move-in-ready waterside townhouse that will suit boat owners, second-home buyers or anyone prioritising direct river access over large garden or elevated security. Factor in flood risk, local deprivation indicators and slow broadband when assessing suitability and running costs.
