Set on 0.7 acres beside the River Ryburn, this four-bedroom detached house combines generous living space with a private, semi-rural feel. The house is presented immaculate throughout with three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen/diner, four bathrooms and a converted double garage now used as a gym with swim‑spa. Large south/west-facing lawn, river decking and long driveway complete the picture.
The ground floor flows around a central staircase to a large living room with stone fireplace, separate dining room and a versatile sitting room currently used as an office. The kitchen/diner has granite worktops, integrated appliances and an adjacent utility. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two en‑suites, fitted wardrobes to two rooms and a heated family bathroom with underfloor heating.
Practical points to note: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk zone alongside the river and broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The gym/swim‑spa conversion offers useful leisure space but could be reconfigured back to a garage or adapted for alternative use, subject to any required consents.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a large private plot and riverside outlook who prioritise spacious accommodation and on‑site leisure. Its immaculate condition reduces immediate work, but buyers should factor in flood risk mitigation measures and potential costs to upgrade broadband or adjust the gym conversion to other uses.
