Description

A unique opportunity to purchase a unique waterside home with masses of further potential Occupying an exceptional elevated plot of approximately an acre, this impressive 1950s chalet bungalow seamlessly blends traditional charm with contemporary modern living. Recently having under gone a comprehensive course of modernisation, including beautifully refitted Howdens Shaker style kitchen and refitted shower and bathrooms, the property offers generous, flexible accommodation across two distinct floors.
There is an efficient gas central system complimented by air-con and heating to the master bedroom.

Positioned in one of the Norfolk Broads’ most coveted locations, the plot delivers outstanding south-facing views across its own private mooring on Ropes Hill Dyke, Horning Sailing Club, and the sweeping countryside beyond.

The residence boasts approximately 78 feet of private frontage along Ropes Hill Dyke, complete with a substantial 38 foot by 20 foot mooring and private slipway with a winching anchor point, that gives direct, effortless access to the River Bure and the broader Norfolk Broads network.
The surrounding grounds extend to approximately 1 acre of south-facing gardens, sun terraces, and practical outbuildings for storage, including a 19 ft by 15 ft workshop and a recently built mower shed. Ample off-road parking is complemented by a substantial oak framed triple garage.

The expansive ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall with a large cloakroom and study/bedroom 6, leading into a formal dining room and a generous lounge, both arranged to maximize natural light and frame the scenery. The contemporary refitted kitchen caters effortlessly to modern living. Sleeping space on this level include a master bedroom suite with a private en-suite shower, two additional bedrooms with en-suite showers, and a flexible study that easily serves as a sixth bedroom.
Ascending to the first floor, a central landing connects two further spacious bedrooms along with a refitted full family bathroom, offering an exceptional degree of layout flexibility for family or guests.

Situated just a short stroll from Horning’s picturesque village centre, residents enjoy immediate access to local amenities including village stores, popular pub-restaurants, a primary school, church and the celebrated Horning Sailing Club.
For broader services and transport connections, the recognised capital of the Broads, Wroxham, sits just three miles away, while the historic cathedral city of Norwich rests within a convenient ten-mile drive.
