Double Room in Private Island Community

Property

A double room available within a shared house set on a private island community on the river in East Norwich.

Unconventional city living. The Island is accessed by a short dinghy crossing and offers a rare combination of nature, privacy, and proximity to Norwich.

Whats available:
- Bright double bedroom
- Large open-plan kitchen
- Spacious open-plan lounge
- Waterside kitchen views
- Shared bathroom
- Private toilet
- Laundry facilities
- Private woodland
- River access
- Garden access

The Island is a historic boatyard community now entering a new phase of stewardship and regeneration.

We are:
- Gradually restoring original engineering and boat sheds
- Improving infrastructure and shared spaces
- Strengthening a culture of environmental responsibility
- Regenerating our woodland

The site operates largely from our own solar generation and sits within a biologically diverse stretch of river. Respect for wildlife, shared spaces, and neighbours is essential.

We have a no pet policy as we already have some animals on the island, free-ranging chickens and a local munt-jac deer.

Residents use a short dinghy ride to reach the mainland. A personal dinghy is provided and maintained by the tenant.

Comfort around water and boats is essential.
