A charming, characterful riverside bungalow with approximately 80ft of private frontage and an additional 26ft x 9'6" dock, set on the banks of the River Thurne within The Broads Authority. The cedar-clad home was lifted and extended around 2010 with a new roof, replacement windows, upgraded insulation and wiring, and enjoys a bright dual-aspect living room with vaulted ceiling, wood burner and large patio doors onto a generous sun deck.
Inside are three double bedrooms (two with direct river views), a shower room with Jack-and-Jill access, separate cloakroom, and a compact kitchen overlooking the deck. The property benefits from underfloor heating linked to an LPG boiler and low annual charges: ground rent £5 and service charge circa £150. Council Tax Band A is currently modest.
Important practical considerations: this is a leasehold property with 60 years remaining (lease runs to 2085). Many mortgage lenders will be reluctant or refuse to lend on short leases; buyers should obtain specialist mortgage or legal advice before proceeding. The site is in a high flood-risk area and uses a holding tank for drainage (approx. £50 per empty). Mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow, reflecting the remote village location.
This waterside home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful riverside retreat or a low-maintenance retirement/second home who accept the leasehold and flood-risk realities. It offers immediate move-in condition and strong visual appeal, but purchasers must factor in finance availability, flood resilience measures, and ongoing holding-tank and parking costs.
