Three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace on River Soar with private mooring rights
This charming three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace sits directly on the River Soar and offers a rare riverside lifestyle with private mooring rights. The house retains period character, a working log burner and a converted loft that adds flexible space for a studio, hobby room or storage. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a compact, well-arranged garden with a patio overlooking the water enhance practicality for family life.
The interior layout balances formal and informal living: a living room with a log burner flows into an open-plan dining area and a fitted kitchen with Rangemaster cooker and Belfast sink. Three light-filled bedrooms and a characterful family bathroom with a freestanding bath provide comfortable accommodation across multiple floors. The loft conversion increases usable footprint and offers potential to adapt for growing household needs.
Important practical points: the property is solid brick as-built with no known cavity insulation, the broadband speeds are slow, and the site sits in a high flood-risk area — river frontage increases exposure to flooding. Prospective buyers should factor in flood-protection measures and insurance costs. The house is freehold with modest council tax and sits in a largely affluent, suburban village setting close to schools and local amenities.
Overall this home will suit buyers seeking a distinctive riverside house with character and extra loft space who are prepared to manage waterfront ownership responsibilities. It offers strong lifestyle appeal and scope to modernise or improve energy performance, making it attractive for families or those wanting a unique buy-to-let opportunity in Barrow upon Soar.
