Two-Bedroom Self-Contained Boat

***This boat is now rented, but we’re keeping a waiting list for people interested in joining the island community. Our next boat is currently being renovated and is expected to be ready from April 2027, so please do get in touch if you’d like to be considered for it or for any other boats that become available sooner.***

A fully self-contained residential boat with two 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 bedrooms
- Two separate lounge spaces
- 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.

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 bikes

Deposit is 4 weeks, rent payable monthly in advance.

Working professionals only.

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

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