Description

'BROADLANDS' A PRIVATE GEORGIAN HAVEN ON THE WATER. An exceptional late Georgian waterfront residence set within 1.3 acres of formal gardens, woodland and private waterfront. This refurbished late Georgian home combines historical elegance with modern living. Offering 80 metres of private, non tidal frontage with three moorings, a newly reconstructed boathouse and a wealth of versatile outbuildings, it is a rare lifestyle opportunity in the Norfolk Broads.

WHERE HERITAGE MEETS THE WATER Morning light shimmers across 80 metres of private, non-tidal waterfront, the gentle sound of the water carrying across manicured lawns. Three private moorings wait for their next adventure, offering year-round, hassle-free access. Swans and their cygnets glide past daily, while dragonflies flit above the ponds, bringing life and colour to the gardens. From here, you can watch the sun rise over the water and set beyond the trees, each day framed by nature's beauty.

This Late Georgian villa has been restored with an artisan's care - every fireplace, every cornice, every timber brought back to life, yet seamlessly matched with the comfort and ease of modern living. The heart of the home is a solid wood country kitchen, warm and welcoming, where friends gather before a day on the water.

In the grounds, The Retreat - a handsome, self-contained farm-style building - offers space for memorable celebrations, creative projects, or quiet moments away from the main house. A separate, fully equipped gym provides a dedicated haven for health and wellbeing, while additional outbuildings extend
the home's flexibility.

Just a short drive from Norwich and the North Norfolk coast, this is more than a house - it is a private world, where heritage, wildlife, and waterfront living meet in perfect harmony

AT A GLANCE - THE HIGHLIGHTS - 80m private, non-tidal frontage with moorings for 3 boats and a newly rebuilt boathouse.
- Late Georgian villa restored to perfection, set in 1.3 acres of landscaped gardens and private woodland.
- Five double bedrooms, four bathrooms, bespoke full-width balcony with panoramic water views.
- The Retreat entertaining/guest building, separate gym, and further outbuildings.
- Wildlife haven with daily swan, cygnet, and dragonfly visits.

IN THE HEART OF THE NORFOLK BROADS NATIONAL PARK This remarkable home sits on the shores of the Trinity Broads - one of the most important wetland habitats in Europe and a jewel within the Norfolk Broads National Park. The five lakes that make up the Trinity Broads - including Ormesby Broad, Rollesby Broad, and Filby Broad - were formed through medieval peat diggings, now transformed into a thriving ecosystem of clear waters and rich wildlife.

Protected by law for their special habitats, the Trinity Broads are managed in partnership with the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, offering a rare combination of tranquillity, biodiversity, and year-round natural beauty.

A RARE CORNER OF THE BROADS WHERE LIFE SLOWS DOWN, THE WATER RUNS CLEAR, AND NATURE TAKES CENTRE STA Despite its secluded setting, the property is superbly connected:
Norwich - approx. 30 minutes
North Norfolk Coast - approx. 15 minutes
London - 2 hours by train from Norwich
Nearby, charming Broadland villages offer local pubs, farm shops, and a friendly community atmosphere, while the coast provides sandy beaches and traditional seaside towns within easy reach.
