BEAUTIFULLY POSITIONED PERIOD FARM HOUSE BY THE RIVER YARE RAVEN HALL HADDISCOE ISLAND, LANGLEY MARSHES, HADDISCOE, NORFOLK, NR31 9HU A 'ONE OFF' OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A PERIOD HOME SET IN AN ISOLATED LOCATION IN THE MIDDLE OF MARSHES The Property Stunningly situated in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, this idyllic Grade II listed 17th Century farmhouse offers generous accommodation, spacious grounds and breath-taking views across the River Yare. Raven Hall adjoins the River Yare and comes with two moorings and a private bench on which to absorb the classic Norfolk view, across the river to the Berney Arms Windmill and the RSPB reserve. The journey to Raven Hall, through just under 5 miles of marshland, also allows you to enjoy the quintessential Norfolk landscape of windmills, wildlife and big skies. The property has been under the ownership of the current family since 2002, from which time major renovation and restoration works have taken place, including the exposure and restoration of many of the timbers, re-plumbing, upgrading the wiring, upgrading of the kitchen and bathrooms and considerable redecoration. The thatched roof is nearing the end of its life and a master thatcher has been booked to replace the thatch; this work will take place starting at the end of May 2019 and will be funded by the vendor. The single storey part of the property is tiled. The property has many original period features including exposed timbers and inglenook fire places. The accommodation is arranged over two floors. We draw your attention to the floor plans for a full explanation of how the accommodation is arranged. There is an oil heating system supplying radiators.
