Description

An imposing Georgian residence occupying an exceptional riverside setting within walking distance of the centre of Beccles.

The established, well stocked riverside garden extends to the side and rear and is dominated by the stunning view out over the River Waveney and the bridge beyond. The private moorings extend to approximately 110ft, providing scope to keep a substantial Broads cruiser while also offering the space to launch kayaks and paddleboards or simply to sit and fish as life on the river passes you by.

The property is located on the outskirts of Beccles, approximately half a mile from the town centre, within walking distance of a whole host of amenities including a selection of pubs and restaurants and a comprehensive variety of shops and services including sports clubs, a public hall and theatre, a lido and a railway station.

The River Waveney provides access to the entire Norfolk Broads network of rivers.
