Living Space

The heart of the house, the sun-soaked living room is the perfect space to relax and unwind. Enjoy a film night on the 50-inch Smart TV, or connect your Spotify account to the Sonos multi-room sound system. On cooler nights, curl up by the wood-burning fire on our sprawling sofas and watch the sunset over the lagoon.

Staircase

Fling open the front door and the first thing you’ll spot is our spiral staircase. An architectural masterpiece - if we say so ourselves - but, luckily we’re not the only ones to think so. You can read about how our spiral staircase impressed both designers and architects in a variety of design publications.

Exterior 

With three large deck areas, Backwater has plenty of outdoor space. For the main deck, pull out the BBQ and watch the sunset with a glass of wine and, in the mornings, try breakfast outdoors on the comfortable patio table. The lagoon is full of wildlife in the summer, not just water-lilies but a family of otters too, so look out for them as you dip your toes in the water.

  • Gas BBQ for summer nights

  • Patio table and chairs for outdoor dining 

  • Canoe for exploring the broads
