Elmhurst Cottage is a character-rich two-bedroom riverside cottage offering direct views over the River Soar and private moorings. The living room retains exposed beams, a brick chimney breast and a wood-burning stove; the first-floor rear bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and riverside outlook. The dining kitchen is beautifully appointed with solid wood units, granite tops, Belfast sink and integrated appliances — a strong ready-to-enjoy heart to the home. The property is freehold and offered chain free.
Outside, a shaped lawn, timber summer house and raised decking provide attractive outdoor living and an immediate connection to the river. Steps from the decking lead down to the moorings, which increase appeal for boating and waterside leisure. Practical benefits include double glazing (post-2002), mains gas central heating and very low council tax.
Important considerations: the moorings and decking have a tendency to flood during heavy rainfall (the main garden and house reportedly unaffected so far) and the site sits in a medium flood-risk area. The cottage’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than newer homes and could require improvement work. The wider area shows higher crime statistics, and the plot is very small — good for low maintenance but limited outdoor space. Overall this is a distinctive riverside home suited to buyers seeking character, waterside access and a compact low-upkeep plot, willing to accept flood risk and consider insulation or energy upgrades.
