Write up This much-admired Grade II listed riverside bungalow, dating from around 1912, occupies one of the most beautiful and peaceful stretches of the River Thurne.
Originally formed from two Boulton & Paul sectional huts, reputedly returned from a polar expedition, the property retains the distinctive period features chosen from the company’s early catalogues, including its ornate 50ft veranda and leaded bay windows.
Restored to its original appearance by the current owner over thirty-six years ago and maintained with great care ever since, the bungalow offers a rare combination of history, charm and uninterrupted panoramic views.
Set on one of the river’s largest plots, with approximately 135ft of frontage, the property includes two powered wet boat sheds, a renewed quay heading and boardwalk, and newly replaced decking connecting the wide veranda to the water’s edge.
Original river facing windows remain throughout, with bespoke matching double-glazed units at the rear. Despite its waterside setting, the bungalow has never flooded due to its elevated position.
Inside, the entrance hall features leaded windows and opens into a well-arranged shower room and an inner hallway with countryside views.
The living room is a standout space, with a large leaded bay, French doors opening onto the veranda, and a 5kW multifuel burner creating a warm, atmospheric centre to the home.
The dual aspect kitchen enjoys views to both river and fields, fitted with integrated appliances and room for a breakfast table.
There are three bedrooms: Two facing the river with attractive leaded bay windows, and a third at the rear overlooking open countryside, ideal as a guest room, office or studio.
All have traditional panelled doors and electric heating. Outside, the beautifully detailed veranda runs the full length of the bungalow and provides an exceptional place to sit and watch the river.
A lawned garden with planting leads to the water’s edge, where the two wet boat sheds offer generous mooring and storage.
The bungalow is leasehold until 2085, with mains services, Economy Seven heating, and a Council Tax Band B rating with a 35% discount.
Access is by footpath and river, with a nearby leased parking space and one or two electric boats available by separate negotiation.
The majority of contents will remain, and the property is offered with no onward chain.
Location Situated on a tranquil stretch of the River Thurne above Potter Heigham’s historic low medieval bridge, the property enjoys a peaceful and picturesque setting with expansive views across open countryside.
Accessible only by river or footpath, it offers seclusion while remaining within reach of local amenities in Potter Heigham and the surrounding Norfolk Broads villages
