Description
Riverside Lodge is a most impressive and highly individual property situated in an enviable position with stunning views over the Waveney Valley. Thoughtfully extended and renovated by the current vendors to create the feeling of an exotic resort and a wonderful home with great inspiration taken from Fallingwater, the house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Originally a Victorian lodge, the property blends the character of the original building with the modern aesthetic and offers accommodation suitable for both families and couples alike. The three bedrooms all feature en suite facilities with the principal room containing wonderful ceiling height as well as a dressing room area. This luxurious en suite contains a hydrotherapy bath and TV whilst the en suite to the ground floor bedroom also doubles up as a steam room.
Implementing superb technology the property is the definition of a smart home with integrated and remote control of lighting, heating, pool, irrigation and drive gates as well as advanced security systems.
A large living area boasts a picturesque view over the River Waveney and the Valley behind thanks to full height sliding glass doors opening to a decked terrace. The living room with its “broken plan” arrangement perfectly places a designated cinema area and a more formal conversational space based around a centrepiece raised fireplace.
Having been designed and renovated to an impeccable standard the property is a truly must see home.
Outside
The property is approached via secure electronic gates leading to a large gravel driveway with ample off road parking for several vehicles. Standing in perfect privacy, Riverside Lodge has the advantage of no near neighbours.
Sitting in a fully landscaped plot of about 0.75 acres, the gardens are a joy and a manifestation of the owners vision for the property. The show stopping event is the tranquil riverside setting with the River Waveney running along the rear of the garden and allowing for occupiers to navigate the water by canoe or kayak as well as fishing rights in your own stretch of the river. The gardens wrap around with an area laid to lawn with a variety of architectural plants and palms providing the backdrop to the heated outdoor swimming pool which enjoys exceptional privacy and an electric pool cover. A useful outdoor shower is well placed for those enjoying the pool.
A decked walkway leads down towards the river which under a canopy of trees creates a very different feel and leads to a superb home office or form of guest accommodation at the river's edge. The deckhouse can be utilised with bedroom, kitchenette and shower room to be a is the perfect spot for guests to be away from the main house yet still be on the property or for owners looking to work from home and enjoy the enviable outward views.
