Stunning Riverside Home in Coltishall

Set within one of Coltishall’s former granaries, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Norfolk’s rich riverside heritage. Originally constructed around 1850 to serve the bustling trade of the Norfolk Wherries, which once moored along the nearby River Bure, the building has been sympathetically transformed into a remarkable contemporary home, where character and craftsmanship sit effortlessly alongside modern luxury.

Lovingly renovated by the current owners, every element has been carefully considered, resulting in interiors that are both stylish and timeless. Exposed structural beams, bespoke finishes and high-quality fittings combine to celebrate the building’s industrial past, while the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space forms the true heart of the home. Designed for entertaining as much as everyday living, it is a beautifully social space with a striking central island, generous dining area and seamless connection to the sunny courtyard outside.

The versatile accommodation extends over three floors, offering an abundance of space for modern family life. Three bedrooms, including a spectacular top floor suite occupying the entire second floor with its own en-suite, are complemented by flexible reception rooms that can adapt to changing needs, whether as a home office, snug or additional sitting room. On the ground floor, clever use of the integral garage has provided a substantial gym offering further versatility and could equally lend itself to a studio, games room, additional accommodation or simply a quick conversion back to a traditional garage should the need arise.

Outside, the sunny courtyard provides a wonderfully sheltered and private oasis whilst the attractive flint and brick elevations are a fitting reminder of the property’s heritage. The property’s prime position places some of Coltishall’s most cherished amenities just moments away. A gentle stroll leads to the picturesque common, the tranquil banks of the River Bure and the ever-popular Rising Sun, where waterside dining has become something of a local institution.

Combining historic significance with exceptional contemporary living, this is a home of genuine distinction - one that embraces its fascinating past whilst offering an outstanding lifestyle in one of Norfolk’s most sought-after Broadland villages.
