Riverbank Cottage is set within a unique plot, which is made up of a generous courtyard garden, private driveway and riverbank. The cottage also benefits from a vaulted wooden double-glazed conservatory which offers an additional space to enjoy the wildlife that surrounds this riverbank property.
The front door opens into a stone paved entrance lobby with coat closet and stylish cloak room. An inner door then leads one into a bright and airy sitting room with French doors to the conservatory, plush carpets, neutral décor, and a contemporary electric fireplace. We believe that there is an open fireplace behind which could be opened up to incorporate a wood burning stove.
Beyond the sitting room lies a newly installed Wren kitchen with gloss units, wood effect work tops and a stainless steel sink. The space is further enhanced by metro style tiles and integrated appliances.
The double glazed, wooden framed conservatory sits adjacent to the kitchen and serves well as a ding area or additional sitting room, it opens out onto a peaceful courtyard, the perfect spot for a morning coffee.
To the first floor one will find a double bedroom with a fitted closet and high specification bespoke wardrobes, whilst the single bedroom also benefits from a built in storage. The main bathroom has recently been installed with a walk in, rainfall shower, basin over vanity unit and separate WC, the area has been beautifully finished with pale grey tiles.
