About this Property
Occupying a stunning position on the banks of the River Yare with breathtaking, panoramic views, private river frontage and a total plot extending for approximately two acres.
This charming converted wind pump is understood to date back to 1863 and was the subject of a comprehensive programme of renovation during the late 1990s which included the addition of a new Norfolk boat-shaped cap by highly regarded local millwright, Richard Seago.
This imposing four storey mill has previously been used as a holiday let and is currently a much loved holiday home, suitable for year round use but not as a permanent home.
As a result of the new state of the art pumping station being constructed close by, additional land was purchased from the Raveningham Estate in 2022, extending the grounds to approximately two acres with significant landscaping works completed soon after creating a much larger, more open plot, making the most of the picturesque setting and the far reaching views as well as extensive off road parking for multiple vehicles.
The mill is situated just to the east of the mouth of the River Chet and just to the south of Reedham ferry, perfectly placed with direct access to the entire Norfolk Broads river network.
The location combines incredible peace and privacy, the perfect riverside retreat.
