Set on the edge of a well-kept marina, this renovated two-bedroom lodge offers relaxed, low-maintenance living with genuine waterside appeal. The open-plan living area floods with light and opens onto a large sun terrace with direct marina views; a 50ft private mooring with power and water is included. Off-street parking, a generous internal area (approx. 980 sq ft) and a short walk to Buckden village make day-to-day life convenient.
The interior has been carefully updated and provides two double bedrooms with fitted storage, a modern fitted kitchen and a downstairs cloakroom. Heating is electric via room heaters and the property has double glazing; the lodge’s timber construction and compact layout suit buyers seeking a second home or downsizing opportunity rather than a full family house.
Important ownership details affect suitability for some buyers: the property is leasehold with around 65 years remaining. Ground rent is high at £3,349 per year and lenders may refuse mortgage offers on short leases. There is also a biannual service charge of £437.66. Additionally, the location is in a high flood-risk area, which will influence insurance costs and resilience measures.
This lodge will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking a stylish, move-in-ready waterside retreat with a usable mooring and easy access to local amenities and rail links. However, investigate leasehold lending criteria, ongoing ground rent costs and flood insurance before committing.
