Riverside Cottage

This 18th-century cottage sits on the banks of the river at Norwich, its riverside position the defining draw. The building combines period character with contemporary comforts—the kind of balance that comes from thoughtful renovation rather than theme-park recreation. It sleeps four across two bedrooms: a king-size on the first floor overlooking the water, and a double that faces the garden and summerhouse. The ground floor holds a living and dining room, kitchen, and bathroom with bath and shower.

The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking—electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine and washing machine all present. Bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating are included. The real appeal lies outside: a decked terrace, front garden with seating, and a rear garden that contains a hot tub and summerhouse. Parking is off-road opposite the property by the quay.

The location suits couples and families with children over eight. The Norfolk Broads lie close enough for walking and cycling; the river itself invites boating and fishing. Neighbours have access through the garden, a practical detail worth knowing. No smoking inside.
