This superb waterside home is a boating paradise, with unique mooring facilities and access to both the Norfolk Broads and the sea.

Truly Magnificent

Perfectly positioned on a very prestigious road in the popular village of Oulton Broad, Shearwater is a most desirable waterside residence. The hi-spec, five-bedroom home sits on a generous plot with a long lawn stretching down to the broad where you find a unique deep water, fully-fendered drive-in dock that’s sheltered from adverse weather, as well as further 50-foot frontage for a second boat, plus a swinging buoy for a yacht. “It’s paradise for any sailor here,” the owner smiles. “Turn one way and you’re off out to sea while the other takes you towards the heart of the beautiful Norfolk Broads. It’s a splendid place for sailing and there’s something for everyone, with the yacht club just across the water, powerboat racing in summer and excellent fishing.”

Abundantly Appealing

The owners originally bought Shearwater as a weekend home but soon found themselves seduced by the laid back lifestyle and made it their main residence. As a weekend retreat it’s excep-tional and the perfect place to relax after a busy week at work. Sitting on a no-through road it’s quiet and secluded but there are neighbours and everyone looks out for each other so it’s a secure ‘lock up and leave’. Equally it makes an unrivalled family home, offering contemporary comfort in a spectacular setting. “You can’t beat lying in bed in the master suite, looking out across the balcony to watch the sunlight sparkling on the water and the boats gliding past. When you come home to Shearwater and close the front door it’s a different world – just you, the birds, the broad and the boats.”

An Astounding Outlook

The house has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the setting. The owner has opened up the main part of the ground floor accommodation to ensure every one of the principal rooms benefit from the remarkable views. The sitting room, conservatory and breakfast kitchen all have double doors leading out, while the open plan nature of the dining room means that it too boasts stunning scenes. The first floor master suite is a real highlight with a superb en-suite, unusually large dressing room and two sets of doors leading on to a full balcony overlooking the water. It’s hard to imagine a more relaxing retreat. “There’s also a wonderful guest suite on the second floor with a balcony, shower room and walk-in wardrobe. We think it’s too good to share so we use it as a snug but if you have teenage children they’d be fighting over it!” Indeed Shearwater would make a brilliant family home and could easily accommodate three generations. The ground floor cloakroom has space for a shower and you could then use it with the fifth bedroom and study as an annexe.

An Eviable Location

The gardens slope gently down to the water with a split-level terrace leading down in turn to the lawn. This is a totally tranquil setting with a no-through road to the front and the broad at the end of the garden, yet a short stroll takes you into the village where you have your pick of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as the train station. “We love going out on the water but we also enjoy heading to Lowestoft for the glorious blue flag beaches or taking a walk through the idyllic nature reserve at Carlton Marshes. You have everything on the doorstep here.”

In the Kitchen area, you discover a beautifully made designer German kitchen consisting of high gloss units with black granite work sur-face & backsplash. There is a comprehensive selection of both eye level & base storage units. The striking feature of this kitchen is the abundance of wide pan drawers including 3 sets of curved ones. A place for everything.Integrated appliances are all by Miele, they consist of an integrated fridge/freezer & dish-washer, steam oven, pyrolitic electric oven and warming draw below, there is a four burner induction hob, with a stunning contem-porary Elica extractor over. The inset Blanco Silgranite sink and drainer incorporates an ISE waste disposer, Quooker boiling water tap and designer main tap. The large steel roller shutter storage area is ideal for kitchen appliances to be stored out of site.

Continuing along through the room you them discover the Utility Area with matching Ger-man kitchen and granite work surface with Silgranite sink, an integrated Miele wash-ing machine and tumble dryer & a second fridge/freezer. There’s a fully glazed side entrance door & window. Back in the kitchen, there’s a pair of French doors to the raised rear patio area, with side light windows to ei-ther side filling the room with daylight, which

affords stunning views out over Oulton Broad

“This is a great party house. The main part of the ground floor is open plan in nature so you can host a good number of guests.”

“The partly open plan nature of the ground floor enables you to enjoy the views from all the main receptions. The master bedroom and second floor bedroom also have balconies, with French doors framing the spectacular outlook.”
