Characterful riverside Norfolk property for sale
Ice House Dyke is an unusual character property located in the Broadland village of Irstead known as the Shoals in the Norfolk Broads National Park. The house is believed to date back to the 1930s and is typical of that ear but now in need of modernisation - it's built of timber under a thatched roof. The property was designed to take full advantage of its riverside position: the main reception room leads onto a balcony overlooking the river while the master bedroom also looks straight onto the water. The two other bedrooms upstairs face south.
