Waterside House is a substantial five/six-bedroom detached home set within an exclusive gated development on the River Soar. The property offers about 80ft of private river frontage with fishing and mooring rights, a detached double garage, gated driveway parking and well‑maintained mature gardens—ideal for family life and waterside leisure. Built in 2010, the house combines modern energy features (air source heat pump and ground‑floor underfloor heating) with elegant Georgian-style brick elevations and triple-aspect river views.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides flexible living: a bright lounge with French doors, a large kitchen with Rangemaster cooker and island, dining room, utility and five principal bedrooms plus a flexible sixth/loft space with dormer and Velux windows. The principal suite occupies the full depth of the first floor with an en-suite shower; additional bathrooms and a top-floor shower room serve the other bedrooms—suitable for multigenerational family use or home working.
The plot is a standout feature. Landscaped side and rear gardens flow down to a large lawn and the riverbank; a generous patio offers alfresco dining and direct waterside access. The house sits on an elevated plot designed with flood resilience in mind and comes with marina access (subject to annual mooring fees). Communal management is in place, with a recent service charge of approximately £720 per year.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area with a medium flood risk and, while built to be resilient and with no recent flooding reported by the current owners, ongoing insurance and flood-assessment costs should be anticipated. Crime levels in the area are above average and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is chain free and will suit buyers seeking a distinctive riverside family home rather than a low‑maintenance retirement purchase.
