Available for the first time in over a century, this 1851 Victorian villa on Dee Banks combines substantial period character with sweeping westerly views over the River Dee and meadows. The main house and detached coach house total about 5,731 sq ft, offering generous reception rooms, seven bedrooms and extensive scope to reconfigure and modernise to contemporary family living standards.
The coach house is a genuine asset: garaging for three vehicles, a cinema room, snooker room and study, and scope to develop a self-contained annexe for guests or longer-term rental income. Outside, private walled gardens, mature trees, greenhouse and patio areas create a secluded riverside setting ideal for entertaining and family activities.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The property sits within a Conservation Area and is constructed of original solid brick (no assumed cavity insulation). It requires modernisation in parts and there is potential to add en-suites and improved heating or insulation. Council Tax is very expensive (Band H) and there is an annual charge for maintenance of the unadopted rear lane providing vehicular access.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a sizeable, characterful riverside residence with development potential — a family or buyer prepared to invest to unlock the property’s full value and panoramic river outlook.
