Wayford Bridge

A fantastic lifestyle opportunity set on the banks of the River Ant, at the heart of the Norfolk Broads.

Six properties in total. An extended four bedroom detached cottage with stunning river views, perfect as the owners' residence complemented by five 2 bedroom holiday cottages, all on the water's edge, and all run as successful holiday lets, generating a substantial income.

The site also offers extensive parking, a private courtyard garden and a large indoor heated swimming pool with sauna.

Run by the current owners since the 1980s and significantly extended/developed in the early 2000', The Granaries is a well established family run operation in a picturesque riverside setting. Early viewing is recommended.
