5 bedroom detached house for sale

This exceptional four-bedroom period residence, understood to date back to the early 1900s, has recently returned to the market following a comprehensive renovation carried out to an exacting standard throughout. Occupying a truly enviable position directly alongside the River Yare, complete with private mooring and direct river access, this is a home of genuine distinction where character, craftsmanship, and lifestyle combine seamlessly.

Set within the highly regarded Bracondale area, the property enjoys a rare balance of tranquillity and convenience. Despite its peaceful, waterside setting, Norwich city centre is comfortably within walking distance, offering immediate access to amenities, transport links, and cultural attractions making this an outstanding location for both daily living and entertaining.

From the outset, the property makes a striking impression. Its attractive façade and period detailing hint at the quality within, while generous off-road parking to both the front and rear provides a practical benefit seldom found in such a central position.

Internally, the renovation has enhanced the home’s inherent character while introducing a refined, contemporary finish. The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with a strong sense of space and flow. The main living room enjoys a dual-aspect orientation, flooding the room with natural light and framing picturesque river views. Opposite, the formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining, centred around a beautifully preserved feature fireplace. The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded, offering extensive storage, quality work surfaces, and space for modern appliances, while a stylish ground floor shower room completes the principal accommodation.

The first floor continues to impress, with four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged around a central landing. Each room enjoys its own outlook, many with captivating river views. The principal bedroom, positioned to the rear, is a particularly generous double. Bedrooms two and three sit to the front, while the fourth bedroom retains excellent flexibility. A well-appointed & brand new family bathroom serves this floor, with original floorboards and period fireplaces carefully retained to preserve the home’s historic charm.

The lower ground floor adds a further layer of versatility. This basement level benefits from its own independent access and has been configured as ancillary living space, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or further enhancement subject to individual requirements. Its presence significantly elevates the overall scope and adaptability of the property.

Externally, the grounds are a standout feature. The plot extends to just under a quarter of an acre, an exceptional offering so close to the city. The gardens provide a private, green outlook, complemented by a substantial outbuilding currently used for storage. The River Yare runs directly alongside the property, forming a natural boundary and delivering uninterrupted waterside views, private mooring facilities, and immediate river access an increasingly rare and highly sought-after combination.

In summary, this is a beautifully renovated, character-rich home offering space, flexibility, and an unparalleled riverside lifestyle, all within one of Norwich’s most desirable and convenient locations.
