Dramatically extended circa 20 years ago
Gardens and grounds extending to approximately 7 acres
Approximately 260 metres of quay headed river frontage providing extensive priva

Detached 1 bed barn conversion providing annexe/holiday let accommodation
Detached workshop - planning permission to be replaced by a large 3 vehicle gara
Breathtaking panoramic views
Private and tranquil location
Providing all of the elements necessary to offer the ultimate Norfolk Broads lifestyle, this cottage is an imposing and beautifully presented riverside residence set in gardens and grounds extending to in excess of seven acres with approximately 260 metres of private river frontage with an immaculate, recently renovated, fully self-contained one bedroom annexe and a generous timber outbuilding with planning permission to be replaced by a large three bay garage.
The location is truly awe inspiring, set on the banks of the River Bure, surrounded by open countryside as far as the eye can see, guaranteeing breathtaking panoramic views in every direction, and a level of privacy and tranquillity difficult to match.
The original house dates back to the mid 1800s and retains much of the period character and charm. This was then dramatically extended around 20 years ago, transforming the property into the stunning and spacious family home it is today.
The versatile accommodation consists of an entrance hall, a spacious triple aspect living room with feature fireplace and a large woodburner, and an equally sizeable dining room looking out over the river. A beautifully finished kitchen with granite worktops and a vaulted ceiling, complemented by a breakfast room, snug area and a utility room. A dual aspect garden room looks out over the rear garden and the impressive pond and there is a ground floor bedroom/study which is served by an en-suite shower room.
On the first floor, the master bedroom has a private balcony offering arguably the best view of them all, looking out over the River Bure and the uninterrupted countryside beyond, and is served by an en-suite shower room. There is a four piece family bathroom and four more bedrooms, including a particularly generous guest room, all offering impressive, far reaching views.
Adjacent to the main house is the detached, self-contained annexe. A generous converted barn that has been renovated recently to an extremely high standard. Originally with multi-generational living in mind, the annexe would also make a stylish high end holiday let (subject to the necessary planning permission).
The grounds extend to approximately seven acres and include large formal gardens and an enclosed paddock extending to approximately 2.75 acres, and over 260 metres of private, quay headed river frontage providing an extensive mooring facility which has the potential to provide a further income stream.
The cottage is set well away from the nearest main road, enjoying an incredibly private and peaceful location, yet is still less than 2½ miles away from the centre of Acle, a large market village, well served by a comprehensive range of facilities including schools, doctors surgery, railway station and extensive selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. The A47 is easily accessibly leading directly to Great Yarmouth, Norwich and beyond.
A unique multi-layered waterside property in a stunning, rarely available location, offering incredible flexibility and potential for income generation.
Available with no onward chain.
