Violet is a unique converted old boat which has been transformed into a contemporary beach house, perfect for two couples or a family, ideally situated close to the sand dunes leading onto Heacham's South Beach. This lovely original boat has a newly built decked balcony with stunning views overlooking the river and open countryside at the back, with direct access onto the sand dunes from the front. It has been completely refurbished inside with a new kitchen, shower room, separate cloakroom and three well-presented bedrooms, being thoughtfully furnished and equipped to provide the ideal holiday home. After long days on the beach there's a light, contemporary dining/sitting area room with glazed doors opening onto the balcony with river views. This is a great place to stay throughout the year as it's toasty warm in the winter with gas central heating and perfect for exploring the Norfolk coastline. The quiet beach is safe for swimming and wind-surfing, and perfect for bird enthusiasts being close to the RSPB Reserve at Snettisham.

There is a newly refurbished secure garden shed which may be used for storage of bicycles or suitcases.
At the rear of Violet is a fabulous decked balcony, with a table and chairs, which overlooks the river and has lovely rural views.
There is a lawned garden which is not fenced and leads directly to the river, so please be aware that this is not secure for small children and they should not be left unsupervised. On the river is a new private jetty which may be used for fishing or for mooring a small boat. Please note that the river is muddy and boggy, so not suitable for paddling or swimming. Those fancying a dip are advised to go into the sea instead!
