The 28' kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory and garden room create flexible day-to-day living, while a double-aspect lounge with Scandi woodburner and a large dining room with bifold doors suit family gatherings and entertaining. The principal suite includes a dressing room, en-suite and direct balcony access overlooking the river and Whitlingham Park.
Practical features include a detached brick double garage, sweeping shingle driveway with ample off-street parking, gas central heating and double glazing. Ground-floor accommodation includes a useful study that could serve as a bedroom and a convenient shower room, adding versatility for multi-generational use or guests. The gardens are mostly lawned and descend to the river’s edge, with a terrace and hot tub providing private outdoor relaxation.
The house was built in the 1980s and presents as well maintained, but buyers should note that some service details (fixtures, fittings, and installations) have not been tested and the double glazing install date is unknown. Local schooling and amenities are nearby, with several well-rated primary schools and mixed secondary provision (one local secondary currently rated Requires Improvement). Flood risk is very low, and the location balances city access with peaceful riverside living.
This property will suit families seeking spacious, adaptable accommodation with strong outdoor appeal and riverside character. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, flow of living spaces and to check specific service and maintenance details.
