Restored 3-bed home with large garden, bi-folds and flexible living close to riverside walks.
Spectacular 19th-century home, fully refurbished
A striking late-18th/early-19th-century house, recently and thoroughly refurbished to blend period character with contemporary living. The property sits directly overlooking a tranquil green and benefits from a large gated plot, private rear garden and off-street parking — a rare combination so close to local pubs, riverside walks and everyday amenities.
The heart of the home is a dual-aspect, open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with a large central island, integrated appliances and full-height bi-fold doors that open onto the patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A separate utility leads to a ground-floor shower room and WC, while two interconnecting reception rooms — one with a cosy gas burner — provide formal and informal living zones. The current layout offers flexibility: a reception can function as a third bedroom or home office for multigenerational use.
Upstairs are two large double bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room, plus a generous landing that could be a study or reading nook. The full refurbishment has refreshed services and finishes, producing generous room sizes and good natural light throughout. Practical features include built-in storage in the entrance hall and bespoke joinery such as a solid oak staircase.
Important considerations: the property is in a high flood-risk area and local crime levels are reported as high, which may affect insurance and security needs. Although newly renovated, the age of the property (c.1800) means owners should expect ongoing maintenance typical for older buildings. Overall, this home will suit buyers seeking a character-rich, spacious family house with modern conveniences in a sought-after location, but purchasers should factor in flood mitigation and security measures.
