Crome Wood presents a rare chance to own a truly unique stretch of woodland bordering the River Yare within the Norfolk Broads.

This tranquil wetland habitat supports a rich mix of tree species and wildlife, with Chinese water deer frequently seen across the site. Willow trees frame much of the woodland, while oak, hawthorn, hazel, alder, birch, laurel, sycamore, rose hip, and Virginia creeper bring seasonal colour and variety. At ground level, grasses and reeds thrive, enhancing the natural character of the landscape.

A private gated entrance opens onto a parking area and a woodland path running along the eastern boundary down to the riverbank. As the Yare is tidal, wellies are often required, though footbridges have been installed in affected areas to maintain year-round access, some of which could benefit from upgrading. While certain areas remain overgrown, light clearing with a battery-powered hedge cutter would quickly reveal more of the woodland’s hidden beauty.

Further into the site, you’ll find a simple compost loo, along with a sturdy storage shed and shelter already in place.

With around 150 metres of prime river frontage, ideal for fishing or boating, Crome Wood offers enormous potential to shape a truly magical retreat.
