Victorian Riverside Townhouse in Thorpe St Andrew

This fine four-storey Victorian townhouse is perfectly nestled on the banks of the River Yare, offering a wonderful waterside haven with an abundance of wildlife right on the doorstep.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over four floors, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall and staircase leading down to the basement. Here, you will find a superb modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room, providing an excellent amount of workspace and storage, along with a fantastic island unit. There is ample space for a dining table, making this a wonderful room for family gatherings and entertaining. Double doors open directly onto the lovely rear garden, allowing the kitchen to flow effortlessly outside. Completing the basement is a useful utility room and cloakroom.

On the ground floor, the dual-aspect sitting room is filled with plenty of natural light. A stripped wooden floor and attractive fireplace add warmth and character, creating a wonderfully inviting and relaxing space.

The first floor is home to two bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. Continuing to the top floor, there are two further bedrooms and another modern family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for family and guests alike.

Outside, there is on-road parking to the front. To the rear, the current owners have created a beautifully landscaped garden, with access from both the ground floor, via steps leading down, and directly from the kitchen at basement level. A well-placed terrace provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months, while a lawn, established shrub borders and further steps lead down to a second terrace, which sits directly alongside the River Yare. Here, the setting really comes into its own. This peaceful waterside haven is alive with wildlife and offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the river from your own garden. Whether simply sitting back and watching the world go by or launching a kayak or paddleboard onto the water, this is a truly special place to call home.
