Bittern Meadow - SOLD, Norfolk - Nearly 4 acres, £35,000
Bittern Meadow is a private tranquil water meadow hidden from sight between a mature poplar woodland and a large meadow bordering the River Yare on the Norfolk Broads. It is home to a host of wildlife from flocks of wildfowl to the elusive Chinese water deer. Located in an area of remarkable natural beauty and protected from development by The Broads Authority, it offers owners both accessibility and solitude.
The meadow is interspersed with thickets of willow these areas provide cover for the resident water deer . The willow grows thickly on the sides of the dykes providing plenty of cover and ensures that the meadow has a high level of privacy.
Dykes help drain the meadow and run around its boundaries. A track runs down the western boundary past another meadow to a bund (an embankment) which protects the meadow from the river. The buyer will have access to this area of private river bank for activities such as fishing and boating.
During the summer months it would be hard to find a better place to picnic or spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Because this is a special area it is protected as part of The Broads. This does give a new owner the satisfaction of knowing that they will be a guardian of part of our national heritage.
Particulars and plans were prepared by our local manager, Matt Marples.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.

Directions
The meadow is located between Brundall and Postwick, just east of Norwich. It is situated not far from the junction of the A47 Norwich ring road and the A1042. Take the exit signposted Postwick. About 100 metres on the right, after the bus stop, is a turning to the right into Oaks Lane, again signposted Postwick. Follow this road under the railway bridge and past the telephone box on the right, signposted Marshes. Then take the next left into Leeder Road and go up the hill past the church. Follow this road for half a mile until you reach the junction with Ferry Lane. A Woodlands.co.uk sign is directly in front of you at this junction. Travel down Ferry lane for approximately 100 metres. On your right there is a 5 bar wooden gate with Woodlands.co.uk carved into the top bar. You will need to carefully climb over this gate, as it is locked and follow the track directly in front of you down the side of the tall poplar wood. The track bends to the left and you arrive in open meadow. Carry on towards the river Bittern Meadow is on your left.
There is also a car park at the end of Ferry Lane for parking during viewing.
