ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Tenure: Freehold
Services: Mains water, electricity and drainage, oil central heating
Access: Provided via a private roadway which is partially owned by this property and two of the neighbouring properties.
Broads Frontage: A section of the plot, as it meets the water, belongs to Northumbrian Water Ltd and is used under licence at a cost of £250 per annum.

Filby Broad is one of the Trinity Broads, along with Ormesby Broad and Rollesby Broad, linked but land locked, so they are not connected to the rest of the Broads network. To further protect the local environment and eco system, access to the Broad is restricted and granted exclusively to a limited number of village residents, courtesy of permits awarded by the Parish Council. We are advised that a short waiting list is in operation.

This status ensures that Filby Broad benefits from a level of privacy, peace and tranquility that is rarely found elsewhere on the Norfolk Broads.

Here's what some of our clients have to say about our specialist service...

A first class service. As a retired estate agent and fellow of the NAEA I can confirm that all aspects of the service of Waterside Estate Agents were first class, we were kept fully informed at all times of the progress of the sale in a professional and yet personable manner. Well done to you Philip and your staff. I would also add that the property prospectus was attractive and the property well-presented. A service we would recommend!

Mr A Bell

We are very pleased that the sale of our property has been successfully completed and consider that Waterside Estate Agents could not have been more helpful and understanding over the past five months. We were pleasantly surprised that they have achieved this, relatively painlessly and very efficiently and would recommend them to anyone entering the property market in the Broads area. Many thanks Philip and your team.

Mr and Mrs Langley

We have recently used Waterside to both buy and sell property and we would like to thank Philip for his continued hard work and the excellent, efficient and professional service we received during both transactions.”

Mr and Mrs M Thwaites

“I would like to thank you again for your dedication to the sale of my property and the help that you have provided to both me and the purchasers. I am positive that the sale would not have been successful without your constant input”.

Mr D Howell

“Philip’s determined, professional and proactive approach ensured that despite the challenges of a slow housing market the sale of our home was guided successfully to completion. Many thanks.”

Mr and Mrs T Lord

No negative comments at all. You ensured that we were kept up to date at all times, provided realistic advice and even after the sale was agreed were keen to assist in other aspects of the sale.

A refreshing experience, thank you.

Mr and Mrs Miller
