The breakfast area has a full-length window framing the courtyard garden and is flooded with natural light from two skylights above.

Flowing through from either the dining room or the breakfast area is the garden room with beautiful exposed stone wall, three skylights and bifold doors unfurling onto a private courtyard garden. Double, glass-panelled, French doors open into the drawing room with focal fireplace and log burner whilst the charming, diamond-lead windows overlook the broad Bridge End and landscaped gardens beyond. The snug segment to the drawing room is dual aspect and overlooks both the bridge and the river.

To the west, accessed via the kitchen-breakfast room, is a large, dual aspect study with feature diamond window and integral access to the single garage.

Adjacent to the study is the west staircase rising to a landing where, to the left, is a large double bedroom with a stunning bay window complete with window seat, perfectly positioned to soak in the views across the river. Along the landing is a bathroom, with bath and overhead shower, and another double bedroom enjoying garden and riverside views.

Ascending the east staircase there are two further double bedrooms and a shower room.

Across from the porch lies a formal lawn with an impressive Scot’s Pine as its focal point. Steps alighting to a lower garden tier lead to a dining terrace opposite which is a private jetty out onto the River Nene. The riverbank is softened with reeds and beneath the willow tree is a wildflower swag. Aligning the tiers of lawn are beautiful herbaceous boarders brimming with roses, alliums, iris and dicentra.
