Tucked down a private drive at the edge of Normanton on Soar, this one-bedroom detached cabin occupies a large, heavily treed plot of circa 1/4 acre with over 160ft of direct River Soar frontage. The site offers genuine rural privacy, mooring and fishing rights, a private jetty, and several outdoor seating areas — ideal as a riverside retreat or holiday let. A 12' x 12' summerhouse and workshop provide useful ancillary space.
The cabin is compact and straightforward in layout: entrance/kitchen, lounge, one bedroom and a shower room. The property benefits from practical updates including insulated loft and walls, and plumbing and electrics renewed in 2018 (smart meter installed). The lounge has a multi-fuel stove and doors opening onto a sheltered riverside seating area; the garden and river outlook are the primary selling points.
Buyers should note important constraints: the construction specifics make the property unmortgageable, so it is only suitable for cash purchasers. The plot sits in a medium flood-risk area and the annual licence (described as a service/lease charge) is currently £249. The building footprint is small and the accommodation modest — renovation or adaptation may be required for long-term residential use.
This is a specialist purchase that will appeal to buyers seeking seclusion, strong riverside access and outdoor space rather than conventional family accommodation. Verify intended uses (holiday let, permanent residence) against flood advice and obtain professional surveys before offer.
