SITUATION The mooring plot is situated on the Norfolk bank of the River Waveney in the parish of Gillingham on the opposite side of the river to the market town of Beccles. Beccles is a gateway to the Norfolk Broads, with the River Waveney leading to Lowestoft, Breydon Water, The New Cut and the River Yare. 

DESCRIPTION This offers an opportunity to acquire a freehold mooring plot of approximately 35ft with timber staging on the River Waveney which has recently been upgraded with new timbers.

The plot also benefits from vehicular access rights to a private hardcore parking area situated only approximately 200m from the mooring plot. These access and parking rights will be granted to the purchaser under a 75 year lease. Further details below.

The vendor is willing to manage the letting of the plot for the purchaser if required at 20% of the letting fee. 

TENURE The mooring plot is sold freehold and is edged red on the sale plan.

The river wall immediately behind the plot, edged blue on the plan, vehicular and pedestrian access rights plus parking rights are offered leasehold. A copy of the draft lease is available for inspection in the Agents Beccles office. The principal terms are as follows:-
