A fully self-contained residential boat with two double bedrooms, set within a private island community on the river in East Norwich.

Independent living, immersed in nature, within a small and carefully managed waterside community.

The Boat
- Two double bedrooms
- Private kitchen (hob, oven, fridge)
- Private shower and WC
- Mains water
- Council tax included
- Access to communal laundry

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.

The Island is accessed via a short dinghy crossing. A personal dinghy is provided and maintained by the tenant. It may also be used recreationally along the river.

This is waterside living. It requires comfort around boats and water.

Location:
- 40 minutes’ walk to Norwich city centre
- 30 minutes’ walk to Norwich train station
- 5 minutes by car
- Easy access to bus stops and beryl biked

Deposit is 4 weeks, rent payable monthly in advance.

Working professionals preferred.

Ideally suited to those without a car, but roadside parking is available on a first come first served basis.

Contributing to the Island:
We are in an active phase of restoration and development. For those with relevant practical skills, there may be scope to offset part of the rent through agreed project work.

Application:
Due to high demand, please introduce yourself properly:
- Occupation
- Why island living appeals
- Relevant experience (if any) with boats or community living

We maintain a waiting list for future vacancies.
