The Property
Riverside is a wonderfully positioned home set on the banks of the River Bure, with direct frontage and views of water meadows and ancient woodland owned by the National Trust. Given the location and surroundings, the house has quite a list of species sighted from the kitchen table with a large window providing uninterrupted views of the river, meadows and woodland. Sightings include kingfishers, duck, otters, swans, geese, snipe, egrets and barn owls, to name a few, with garden visits from hares, water voles, water rail and others.

The house, believed to date back to around 1860 with later additions, has been the subject of worthwhile improvements during the current custodianship. This has included the installation of an air source heat pump, upgraded bathrooms, creation of a country kitchen with Aga, and decorative improvements throughout. The house now presents as a comfortable and adaptable home.

The focal point of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room, where the activity of the river is best viewed from, with plenty of glazing. A spacious inner hall links through to the sitting room with woodburner, with a separate dining room with French doors out to a veranda. A future proofing double bedroom is also on the ground floor, with en suite shower room finished to a high standard. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room, with a large bespoke larder cupboard.

The first floor hosts the principal bedroom, with spacious en suite bath/shower room, a further double bedroom providing access through to a fourth bedroom, currently configured as a study with two workspaces. The house is connected to high speed fibre broadband.

Outside
The property is approached from the east, onto a gravelled parking and turning area adjoining the traditionally built outbuildings. This ‘L' shaped complex provides a workshop, wood store, storage room and two bay car port, and could be utilised in other ways if required. On the south-west gable end is a useful potting shed/studio.

A hornbeam hedge forms a natural screen from the parking and outbuildings to the delightful gardens. These have been landscaped into different areas of interest to make the most of the space and setting.

An initial wildflower area has mown pathways meandering through to a well-stocked kitchen garden with raised beds of salads, vegetables and fruit, and a Rhino greenhouse and shed.

Further herbaceous beds are dotted throughout the garden within lawned areas, with trees including willow and alder.

The River Bure runs along the entire western boundary, where a path from the house leads to the river bank, with a jetty for sitting and taking in the tranquil surroundings, or indeed to launch a kayak/canoe from to go and explore the river or indeed the wider Norfolk Broads network.
