Woodland for sale

Bittern Meadow is a private, secluded water meadow located just metres from the River Yare within the Norfolk Broads.

Willow trees dominate the perimeter and central areas, while clusters of guelder-rose, oak, hawthorn, hazel, and black alder are found on the western edge. The lower levels are covered with grasses, reeds, hemp agrimony, marsh woundwort, yellow flag, and thistle.

Dykes surround the meadow, providing excellent drainage and attracting diverse wildlife, from flocks of wildfowl to Chinese water deer. A small pond is situated to the east.

The current owner has maintained well-defined pathways that lead through the meadow, highlighting various points of interest. Included in the sale are a caravan, a central camp shelter, storage sheds, a polytunnel, and a compost loo. The meadow is flat, featuring large grassy areas perfect for summer camping.

An access track leads from the meadow down to the river, where the owner has access to a shared private riverbank for boating and fishing.

Also to note, The Broads Authority granted permission for a community wellness facility connected to the current owner's small community interest company, Bittern Meadow CIC and includes the right to the use of the land for 40 days per year. Activities offered in the past include archery, bushcraft, canoeing, ecotherapy, conservation work, outdoor yoga, camps, and gardening courses. More details on the usage can be provided on request.
