A 1930s cabin in the heart of the Norfolk Broads which has been renovated to a high standard is up for sale as a unique holiday home for £295,000.
The Water Cabin is located in Repps with Bastwick, near Hemsby and next to the River Thurne.

Originally built in the 1930s, the cedar-clad building has gone through “a comprehensive renovation” by the current owners, who have extended the space to around 650 sq ft.
The renovation works also aimed to bring the property into the modern age with energy efficiency in mind. More recently, solar panels have also been added to the roof.
The cabin enjoys over 60ft of river frontage and a 32ft boat dyke to the front. It also has a private decked terrace and garden which are ideal for relaxing by the water.
Selling agent The Modern House noted that the cabin has been operating as a successful holiday let, with details available on request, and as it is registered as a holiday home, “it cannot be occupied full-time or let on an assured shorthold tenancy. It can be occupied for a maximum period of 50 weeks per annum.”
The property is offered leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining on the lease.
The Water Cabin is accessed via a path that runs between the river and established hedgerows.
The entrance opens directly into the bright dining room, which has a skylight and a south-facing picture window to allow in lots of natural light. It also has built-in storage.
The cabin’s modest galley kitchen has been built into the walkway between the living spaces by the current owners and features stylish white base units and with a matching floating sideboard opposite.
To the rear of the property is the generous, triple-aspect living area, which also has a skylight and opens on to the garden, the mooring and the river.
An original door off the dining room provides access to a family bathroom with double-ended bath, walk-in shower and another contemporary skylight.
The Water Cabin is home to two west-facing bedrooms, which boast large aluminium glazing and wood panelling along the walls. The main bedroom also features a quirky nod to the cabin’s nautical surroundings in the form of a porthole window.
Outside, the property is set back around 200m from a private car parking area. To the rear is the 60 sq ft lawned garden, which has fences and evergreen grass borders to provide extra privacy.
A white-painted veranda abutting the cabin opens to a large decking overlooking the waterfront – the perfect place for an evening meal by the water. The lawned garden also houses a hammock and a shed, offering practical storage space for boating or water sports equipment.
Repps with Bastwick’s riverside location makes it fantastic spot for exploring all that the beautiful Norfolk Broads have to offer. The River Thurne itself connects with Hickling Broad, Horsey and Martham Broad Nature Reserve.
