Beautifully Positioned Period Farm House by the River Yare 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. There are views across the marshes and the river from every window. Outside The property is approached via a private track and maintained by the Drainage Board. Upon reaching the property a gate then serves Raven Hall and the neighbouring mill, which has been converted for residential use. There is ample parking on the west side of the house, where there are steps up to the river bank. Shrubs and hazelnut bushes mark the far northern boundary leading to the barn, which is of brick construction, and forms part of the enclosure of the walled garden on the east side of the property. The walled garden is set out in a number of beds with a variety of plants and shrubs. There are espaliered apple trees, white raspberry plants and a range of scented rose bushes. Beyond the walled garden continuing east is the orchard where there are pear, apple, damson, walnut and other soft fruit trees. The front garden is on the south side of the property, with a wide lawn and large mature shrubbery with a variety of plants and under planted with bulbs. The gardens and grounds extend to about 1.2 acres. Situation The property is approximately 4.7 miles from Haddiscoe, which has boating facilities and a public house.

  • River Wensum Strategy
    1 The need for a strategy 1.1 The River Wensum flows from its source in north-west Norfolk through the Greater Norwich area, to its confluence with the River Yare at Whitlingham to the east of the city. This strategy focuses on the section of the river within the city boundary and also includes the Whitlingham area. 1.2 The River Wensum has had a major influence on the development of Norwich over the centuries. As the city’s oldest and most important highway, industry grew up on its banks and influenced the city’s early development. Despite its location close to the attractions of this historic city the River Wensum generates little in the way of river-based businesses and leisure activity. 1.3 Over recent decades Norwich City Council has sought to maximise the potential of the river corridor for residents and tourists, resulting in the creation of over 11km of riverside walk through its planning policies, and the development of three new bridges since 2001 – the Novi Sad Friendship Bridge, Lady Julian Bridge and the Jarrold Bridge. The River Wensum is within the Broads National Park (up to the head of navigation at New Mills), and the Broads Authority has also had a key role in securing these bridges and improving public access to the river. In recent decades the city council has also encouraged major retail, residential and leisure developments on both sides of the river, with developments designed to face the river to encourage its attractiveness and leisure potential. 1.4 Despite recent achievements, much remains to be done to make the most of this key but under-utilised asset, both in terms of its management and through physical enhancements.

  • Norton Marshes to Haddiscoe Dismantled
    This area inspired the artist Sir J. A. Arnesby 16 Yare Valley - Norton Marshes to Brown (1866-1955) who lived each summer Haddiscoe Dismantled Railway at The White House, Haddiscoe. Herald of the Night, Sir J.A.Arnesby-Brown Why is this area special? This is a vast area of largely drained marshland which lies to the south of the Rivers Yare and Waveney. It traditionally formed part of the parishes of Norton (Subcourse), Thurlton, Thorpe and Haddiscoe along with a detached part of Raveningham. It would have had a direct connection to what is now known as Haddiscoe Island, prior to the construction of the New Cut which connected the Yare and Waveney together to avoid having to travel across Breydon Water. There are few houses within this marshland area. Those that exist are confined to those locations 27 where there were, or are transport links across NORFOLK the rivers. The remainder of the settlements have 30 28 developed in a linear way hugging the edges of the southern river valley side. 22 31 23 29 The Haddiscoe Dam road provides the main 24 26 connection north-south from Haddiscoe village to 25 NORWICH St Olaves. 11 20 Gt YARMOUTH 10 12 19 21 A journey on the train line from Norwich to 14 9 Lowestoft which follows the line of the New Cut 13 15 18 16 and then hugs the northern side of the Waveney 17 Valley provides a glorious way to view this area as 8 7 public rights of way into the middle of the marshes LOWESTOFT 6 4 (other than the fully navigable river) are few and 2 3 1 5 far between.

  • River Yare, Postwick Marshes
    Broads Authority Planning Committee 28 March 2014 Application for Determination Parish: Postwick Reference: BA 2014/0011/FUL Target Date: 15 April 2014 Location: Compartment 17 – North bank of the River Yare, Postwick Marshes Proposal: Flood defence improvements to the left bank of the River Yare including raising a concrete wall, rollback of floodbank and additional erosion protection work along with temporary site compound and associated engineering works Applicant: Environment Agency Reason for referral: Major application Recommendation: Approve with conditions 1 Description of Site and Proposal 1.1 The application site is in Compartment 17 and involves works on part of a 4.4 kilometre length of floodbank on the north side of the River Yare which separates the river from Postwick Marshes. Attached as Appendix 1 is a plan showing the extent of the application site. As the application is supported with an Environmental Statement, its provisions are summarised in a non technical summary. This non technical summary is attached as Appendix 2. 1.2 Compartment 17 is protected by a combination of earth floodbank, concrete wall and crest piling. In total these defences protect 142 ha of land, much of which is drained grazing marsh / grassland. The application site is outside any SSSI or County Wildlife Site. However on the south side of the River Yare is the Yare Broads and Marshes SSSI. In terms of heritage interest, the application site is outside any Conservation Area, has no Listed Buildings and the Environmental Statement identifies few archaeological features. 1.3 BESL have indicated that the existing condition of the floodbank defences vary but is generally declining, particularly lengths in the lower reaches of the compartment.
