Description

Nestled in the desirable Oulton Broad area, this unique residence presents a rare opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with both historical significance and substantial potential for enhancement. Originally constructed in 1968 by the Truman family, who were pioneers in hovercraft technology, this home carries a rich legacy while offering scope for modernisation and expansion. The extensive grounds span approximately 300ft from the waterfront to the front boundary, adorned with mature trees that ensure privacy. The property features a significant steel-piled mooring dock, suitable for two large motorboats, and includes rights extending 50ft from the bank—ideal for water enthusiasts. Internally, there is considerable potential to reconfigure existing spaces or convert under croft areas into additional living accommodation. Architectural plans are available that suggest extending the dining room to create extra bedrooms and bathrooms (subject to planning approval). Natural light floods through mid-century modern windows into the impressive entrance hall, leading to three well-sized bedrooms and an elegant dining room characterized by a stunning cedar panelled ceiling. The open-plan living areas are designed for contemporary lifestyles and include a bespoke kitchen equipped with high-end appliances. With its elevated position offering picturesque views over the broads, residents will enjoy tranquility throughout the day. This property not only offers an exceptional living experience but also encompasses significant potential for refurbishment and enhancement, making it an investment worth considering.
