4 bed cottage for sale

Horning Road, Hoveton, Norwich, Norfolk NR12

A rare opportunity to acquire this waterside home overlooking Black Horse Broad, one of the most private and exclusive broads within the Norfolk Broads National Park, where just fourteen properties enjoy direct frontage.

Run Cottage combines the character of an 18th-century flint and pantiled cottage with thoughtfully designed modern additions, creating a distinctive home that enjoys uninterrupted views across the Broad together with access to the River Bure and the wider Broads network.

The property has undergone a careful programme of modernisation and extension, resulting in versatile accommodation that successfully blends period charm with modern comfort. The principal reception room is a characterful sitting and dining room with exposed beams and a log burner, while a family room opens into a glass-roofed conservatory positioned to take full advantage of the waterside outlook. The kitchen/breakfast room is well arranged for everyday living and entertaining, and a study provides additional workspace.

A ground floor principal bedroom suite with dressing room and shower room offers convenience and privacy, together with a cloakroom. Within the original cottage, the first floor provides three further bedrooms, a nursery or potential en-suite, and a family bathroom.

The gardens extend to approximately one third of an acre, including ample parking, a brick-built garage, greenhouse and garden sheds. Lawned gardens and a paved terrace lead to a bridge crossing a dyke, which provides access to the adjoining rhond and waterside decking. The property benefits from an annual licence for approximately 10 metres of mooring frontage.

Properties on Black Horse Broad (formally Hoveton Little Broad) rarely become available. Extending to around 21 acres of enclosed water, the Broad offers safe sailing, fishing and exceptional wildlife watching opportunities.

Run Cottage lies between the picturesque riverside village of Horning and the Broads centre of Wroxham and Hoveton, providing access to a range of shops, riverside pubs and boating facilities.
