Attractive riverside home with private dyke of about 600ft and grounds of over 6 acres
The Firs presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional riverside home offering an enviable country lifestyle. Set within approximately 6 acres of grounds and benefiting from a private dyke extending around approximately 600ft with direct access to the River Waveney, the property enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting with outstanding outdoor space. Offered with the advantage of no onward chain, this much-loved home must be viewed to fully appreciate its unique position and lifestyle offering.
The accommodation provides a flexible and well-proportioned layout, having been thoughtfully extended during the current ownership to create a comfortable and versatile living environment. The ground floor is entered via a spacious reception hall which leads to a welcoming sitting room featuring a gas stove. A formal dining room provides an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining, while a well-positioned home office offers practicality for those working remotely.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with modern white cabinetry and complemented by a useful pantry, flowing through to a garden room with a solid roof, allowing for year-round enjoyment. A ground-floor double bedroom with en suite shower room provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or future-proofing requirements. The ground floor is further served by a utility room, cloakroom and a useful store room.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Owing to the property's attractive setting, many of the rooms enjoy delightful views across the surrounding grounds.
Outside
The property is approached via a long gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leading to a detached double garage with power and lighting connected.
Extending to approximately 6 acres, the grounds comprise a delightful combination of lawned gardens, woodland and marshland. A particular highlight is the private dyke, extending to approximately 600ft and offering multiple moorings together with direct access onto the River Waveney. For boating enthusiasts, this presents a remarkable lifestyle opportunity, with potential to generate additional income through the rental of moorings, if desired.
Predominantly south-facing, the gardens enjoy a sunny aspect and feature an attractive patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, alongside well-stocked beds, mature shrubs and areas of established planting. An attractive stretch of woodland leads down towards the river, where a charming summer house is nestled amongst the trees. While requiring some updating, it presents an exciting opportunity for enhancement and enjoyment.
