About this Property

An impressive, much improved detached riverside residence that offers the rare combination of a stunning main river location, set on the banks of the River Waveney, with the convenience of being within walking distance of the centre of Beccles, a highly regarded and well-served market town.

Dating back to the early 1920s, this extended and updated home manages to retain much of its original character and charm with many period features remaining, whilst benefitting from a comprehensive programme of improvements during the current owners’ tenure, including the complete replacement of the kitchen and en-suite shower room, full upgrading of the heating system with new boiler and radiators, the addition of an insulated zinc roof to the garden room and the creation of a loft room. Works have continued into 2023 with the installation of the air conditioning unit to the garden room and a wood burner to the sitting room.

Other features include a garage and off road parking for two cars and an established well stocked garden leading down to the water’s edge, with raised sun deck providing stunning panoramic views out over the River Waveney, with private frontage extending to approximately 42ft with a timber mooring jetty, the perfect launch point for kayaks and paddle boards.

The versatile accommodation consists of an entrance porch, reception hall, dual aspect sitting room, 24ft long triple aspect garden room with doors leading out onto the sun deck with views out over the garden and the river beyond. Dining room/study/ground floor bedroom, fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, rear lobby with utility cupboard, cloakroom, master bedroom with river views and a generous en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms, family bathroom with cast iron roll top bath with shower over and there is also a loft room/bedroom 4.

Located with approximately a third of a mile from the centre of Beccles, with a wide range of amenities including a comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants and pubs with schools, doctors surgery and with excellent public transport links including a railway station. Friday is market day!

An impressive, well presented property combining riverside living with all the convenience of a town centre location. Equally suitable as a permanent residence, second home or a perfectly placed holiday let.
