Summary - Mill Road, Buckden PE19 5QS
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Private mooring, generous deck and easy parking for relaxed low‑maintenance living.
Extensive covered veranda with uninterrupted marina views
Set on a select marina development, this timber-built detached lodge offers single-level living with an unusually large covered deck and direct mooring. Two double bedrooms, a re-fitted kitchen and both a bathroom and a re-fitted shower room make the layout practical for downsizers seeking easy, sociable accommodation. The long living room centers on a wood-burning stove and opens onto the extensive veranda, which provides expansive views over the marina and immediate access to a recently built mooring platform.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for up to three cars, open lawned areas and direct fishing rights from the mooring. The long lease (circa 980 years) gives security, and annual charges of about £800 for service and a further £800 ground rent cover communal upkeep, water and drainage. The property is compact at roughly 657 sq ft, so it suits those wanting low-maintenance, single-storey living rather than large-family accommodation.
Important considerations: the lodge is timber construction raised above the ground and sits in a high flood-risk area, which affects insurance and may require vigilance after heavy weather. It is leasehold, and the separate ground rent is relatively high at around £800 per year. Timber construction and waterside siting mean ongoing maintenance of exterior timber and fittings will be needed to protect the structure and finishes.
Overall, this property will appeal to buyers prioritising a calm, waterside setting with private mooring and generous outdoor entertaining space. It works well as a permanent downsized home, holiday base or an income-producing holiday let for those prepared to manage the flood risk and routine timber maintenance.
