Riverside Lodge in Flixton near Bungay and Beccles available for £1.5m with Savills

A four-bedroom home in a Suffolk village that has been designed to be ‘like an exotic spa retreat’ is now on the market.

Riverside Lodge has Victorian origins with a modern transformation and sits in a riverside setting in Flixton, near Beccles and Bungay.

The property is now on sale with Savills with a guide price of £1,500,000.

Situated in 0.75 acres of immaculate gardens and grounds, the home has great views over the Waveney Valley.

It has been extended and renovated by the owner to create the feeling of an exotic resort and home with great inspiration taken from Fallingwater - a house in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935.

Property agent Tom Clayton said: “One of the most impressive and individual homes I have seen.”

“Offering a specification and style so rarely found in this part of the country, Riverside Lodge is a truly memorable property.”

Originally a Victorian lodge, it blends the character of the original building with a modern aesthetic and offers accommodation for families as well as couples.

A highlight of the property is the heated outdoor swimming pool which has good privacy and an electric pool cover as well as an outdoor shower nearby.

Riverside Lodge is also the definition of a smart home with integrated and remote control of lighting, heating, pool, irrigation and drive gates as well as advanced security systems.

Downstairs, a large living area boasts a picturesque view over the River Waveney and the Valley behind thanks to full height sliding glass doors opening to a decked terrace.

With its broken plan arrangement, the living room has a designated cinema area and a more formal conversational space based around a centrepiece raised fireplace.

This luxurious en suite contains a hydrotherapy bath and TV whilst the en suite to the ground floor bedroom also doubles up as a steam room.

However, the property’s showstopper is the tranquil riverside setting with the River Waveney running along the rear of the garden and allowing for occupiers to navigate the water by canoe or kayak as well as fishing rights in your own stretch of the river.

A variety of architectural plants and palms provide the backdrop to the pool.

Riverside Lodge has the advantage of no near neighbours and is about three miles away from the market town of Bungay.
