Set on the Norfolk Broads, this four-bedroom detached thatched house combines classic riverside charm with modern efficiency. An integral wet boathouse, private quay heading and dedicated mooring provide immediate water access for boating and wildlife viewing. The home is timber-framed, sits on ring‑beam piling and benefits from an air‑source heat pump with underfloor heating throughout.
The ground floor layout offers flexible living: a triple‑aspect kitchen/dining room with French doors to a deck, a snug that doubles as bedroom four, a study and useful utility space leading to the boathouse. Upstairs, the dual‑aspect sitting room opens onto a balcony with panoramic broad views; the principal bedroom has an en‑suite and built storage. Landscaped lawns, decked seating, a gazebo, workshop, greenhouse and multiple sheds extend the living space outdoors.
Practical considerations that affect ownership are clear. The address sits in a high flood‑risk area with nearby flood defences (sluice gates) and the property has private drainage via a treatment plant. There are recorded restrictions and easements on the titles and broadband is FTTC with relatively slow speeds. Council Tax is Band F (expensive). Any alterations to the boathouse or converting boarded sections would need appropriate consents.
For buyers seeking a distinctive waterside home with immediate mooring and strong character, this property offers rare lifestyle appeal in an affluent, very low crime location. It will particularly suit boating enthusiasts or those wanting a tranquil retreat, but purchasers should factor in flood risk management, potential planning constraints and services checks prior to purchase.
