This delightful riverside home is a rare find combining the conveniences of a modern townhouse with the tranquillity and fun of living on the river. The original design concept was for light, spacious, open plan living accommodation taking full advantage of the river views. Our clients have subsequently extensively refurbished and re-modelled their home including the creation of a useful store/utility room, a ground floor shower room and the conversion of the garage into a gym. The property is approached through an enclosed front courtyard that has a side door into the gym and a gate to the riverside garden.
The reception hall is a lovely light and airy space and leads into the split-level lounge/dining room that has a great feeling of space with two sets of patio doors opening onto the south facing riverside garden. To the 1st floor there were formerly 3 bedrooms, the 3rd has now been incorporated into the landing to create a wonderful study area opening onto the riverside balcony. If required, the third bedroom could be re-instated. There are two good sized double bedrooms, the main also opens onto a full width balcony affording picturesque views over the river and light woodland. The bathroom is beautifully appointed with a period style 3-piece suite; in addition, there is a useful ground floor shower room.

The raised south facing riverside garden has two sections of decking separated by a central planter. Steps lead down to a concrete landing stage providing a 26'8” (8.13m) mooring. On the other side of the creek is an area of light woodland that is a haven for wild and bird life. To the front there is a pretty courtyard set behind a picket fence with a gate leading into the riverside garden and a pair of double-glazed doors opening into the former garage that has been converted into a gym with insulated walls, power and light. There is a private parking space in front of the garage with an electric car charging point.
