Situated on Yarmouth Road in Norwich with stunning views overlooking the river, it offers a 40ft x 7ft houseboat, a shepherd's hut, a spacious wooden chalet including electricity and water and a bathroom. There's also a large laid to lawn area featuring a wooden gazebo with seating and a separate area for alfresco dining, perfect for outdoor entertaining. This unique plot also benefits from electricity, water and a boat with an electric outboard, also with mooring to the opposite side of river."
