The building sits in managed communal gardens and the apartment includes two allocated off-street parking spaces accessed from the driveway.

Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat within a listed building. The Grade II listing may restrict alterations and could add cost or complexity to works. The building is historic (pre-1900) with stone walls likely uninsulated, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern homes and insulation or upgrades could be needed. Service charge averages £1,391 per year.
Overall this is a charming, character-rich apartment in a quiet riverside village setting — a comfortable retirement home, private bolthole or first home for someone who values period features and a central, waterside location. Mobility-limited buyers should consider the first-floor access via the building’s staircases.
