Ferry View Estate, Horning, Norwich, Norfolk, NR12

Set within one of Norfolk's most highly sought-after riverside villages, this exceptional waterside home delivers a truly immersive lifestyle on the River Bure, where daily life is shaped by open skies, gently passing boats and uninterrupted views across unspoilt marshland.

Built in 1989 and thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable setting, the property is constructed of timber upon steel and concrete piles and has been impeccably maintained throughout. Light, space and flexibility define the accommodation, with the ground floor arranged to suit both relaxed family living and entertaining. The dual-aspect living room forms the heart of the home, centred around a wood-burning stove and opening seamlessly onto a raised, partially covered deck—an ideal spot for morning coffee, al fresco dining or watching the sun set across the water thanks to the prized south-westerly aspect. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, while three generous double bedrooms on this level are served by an en-suite bathroom and a separate shower room.

A striking oak staircase leads to the first floor, where the sense of connection to the river is taken to another level. The second sitting room is a standout space, framed by a dramatic picture window and fully glazed doors opening onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the private mooring and marina beyond. The principal suite is equally impressive, flooded with natural light from three Velux windows and twin glazed doors to a further Juliet balcony. This serene retreat is complemented by an en-suite shower room and a dressing room or study, making it ideal for both everyday living and working from home.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is exceptional. The private mooring dock, measuring approximately 35ft (24ft minimum) by 14’5”, provides direct access to the river and is accompanied by a raised sun deck and lawned frontage perfect for enjoying long summer days by the water. To the rear, a substantial gravelled driveway offers extensive parking and is supported by a log store, dog shower, detached timber workshop and car port.

Equally suited as a high-quality permanent residence, an idyllic second home or a lucrative holiday let, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully positioned riverside property in a village where demand consistently outstrips supply offering a lifestyle that is as peaceful as it is picturesque.
