DESCRIPTION

Set within a beautifully converted former mill, this characterful ground-floor riverside apartment offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful waterside living in a truly magical setting. Surrounded by abundant wildlife and overlooking the tranquil River Bure, the property invites you to embrace nature at its finest—whether that’s watching the changing seasons from your balcony or launching a paddleboard or kayak directly into the water.

Renovated and refurbished in 1999 to form an exclusive collection of just nine apartments, the home blends historic charm with modern comfort. Inside, the spacious open-plan living area is thoughtfully designed to maximise both functionality and the stunning river views. An open pine vaulted ceiling with exposed beams enhances the sense of space, while a wall of windows floods the room with natural light. The layout is subtly divided by exposed timbers, maintaining openness while creating distinct living, dining, and kitchen areas.

The well-appointed kitchen features ample built-in cabinetry, a double oven, gas hob with extractor, and an integrated dishwasher, along with plenty of space for dining. From here, step out onto the impressive full-length balcony—an ideal spot for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the picturesque riverside outlook.

The apartment offers two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en suite comprising a bath, wash hand basin, and WC. The guest bedroom is equally inviting, with an expanse of windows running the length of the room, framing beautiful river views. A stylish main bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a walk-in shower, vanity unit with storage, WC, heated towel rail, and fitted cabinet.

Offered for sale chain free, this unique home combines heritage, comfort, and an exceptional natural setting—perfect for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle by the water.

OUTSIDE

Set within a truly unique and picturesque setting, this former mill enjoys an enviable position straddling the River Bure, offering a rare blend of character, history, and natural beauty. The gentle flow of the river creates a tranquil backdrop, attracting an abundance of wildlife and framed beautifully by elegant weeping willows that enhance the idyllic surroundings.

The property benefits from riverside space to both the front and rear, providing perfect spots for relaxation, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterside views. In addition, the apartment boasts a substantial private balcony extending almost the full length of the property, offering ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining guests, or unwinding while taking in the serene riverside setting.

Residents also have access to a large communal field located on the opposite side of the road, ideal for a variety of leisure activities, with many choosing to cultivate private garden areas within this shared space.

Practicality is equally well catered for, with two allocated parking spaces alongside two dedicated disabled parking spaces available for communal use. Additional parking can also be found across the road, ensuring convenience for both residents and visitors alike.

Altogether, this exceptional setting offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterside living in a charming and community-focused environment.

BUXTON MILL

Set on the peaceful banks of the River Bure in the picturesque village of Buxton, the historic Buxton Watermill seamlessly combines rich heritage with modern living. With origins recorded in the Domesday Book of 1085 and largely rebuilt in 1754, the mill served the local community for centuries before operations moved to a larger site in Saxlingham Thorpe in 1970. After a fire in 1991, the building was carefully restored and thoughtfully converted into an exclusive collection of residences.

Today, this striking four-storey structure—constructed of white-painted brick and weatherboard beneath a traditional pantile roof—stands as a prominent village landmark. Surrounded by idyllic countryside and steeped in history, Buxton Watermill offers a rare opportunity to enjoy distinctive waterside living in one of Norfolk’s most charming and characterful settings.
