The Location

Lower Street sits within the heart of Horning, one of the most sought after villages in the Norfolk Broads, renowned for its picturesque riverside setting and strong boating heritage. The village has a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, shaped by the steady flow of activity along the water and a community that embraces both permanent residents and visitors drawn to life on the Broads.

Day to day living is well supported by a range of local amenities, including convenience shops, cafés and a choice of well known waterside pubs and restaurants, many of which enjoy views across the River Bure. The river itself is central to village life, offering direct access onto the Broads network and providing opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, riverside walks and waterside dining throughout the year.

Horning also benefits from a strong sense of community, with seasonal events and regattas forming a regular part of the village calendar and bringing a vibrant feel during the warmer months.

Staithe End, Lower Street, Horning

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an end terraced riverside home enjoying direct access to the River Bure and the benefit of an approximately 30ft private mooring. Positioned with parking to the front on a private driveway, the property combines practical access with an exceptional waterside setting, making it particularly appealing to those seeking life on the Norfolk Broads.

Built in 1971, the house is arranged over two floors and has been designed to make the most of its location, with double aspect rooms and excellent natural light throughout. While well cared for, the property would now benefit from some sympathetic refurbishment, allowing an incoming purchaser to enhance and personalise the accommodation to suit their own tastes.

A porch entrance provides sheltered access into the home, leading through to an entrance hall that connects the ground floor accommodation. This level includes a bedroom, a garage with integral access, washing machine and tumble drier points, a further bedroom with en suite shower room, and an additional shower room, offering flexible sleeping or guest arrangements that work well for both family living and visiting friends.

The upper floor forms the main living space of the home and is arranged to take full advantage of the outlook. Here you’ll find a kitchen, a separate WC, and a dining area that flows naturally into an open plan sitting room. This layout creates a comfortable and sociable environment, well suited to everyday living as well as entertaining. At the river facing side of the property, a sun room / balcony room enjoys open views across the River Bure, providing a bright and relaxing space to sit and watch life on the water.

The upper level also provides additional bedroom accommodation, reinforcing the flexibility of the layout and allowing clear separation between living and sleeping areas. Both floors benefit from good proportions and natural light, enhancing the sense of space throughout the home.

Outside, the property enjoys gated access from the house to a south west facing garden area, offering a private outdoor space that captures afternoon and evening sunshine. The proximity to the river and the private mooring allows for immediate access to boating and riverside activities, a feature that is increasingly hard to find in this location.

Overall, this is a distinctive riverside home that combines practical accommodation with one of Horning’s most desirable features — direct River Bure access. The position, layout and mooring make it a genuinely rare offering, ideal for those looking to enjoy everyday waterside living while recognising the opportunity to update and enhance over time.
