Set on Buckden Marina, this three-bedroom detached lodge combines contemporary chalet styling with genuine waterside character. The living space has been reconfigured to include a ground-floor double bedroom with ensuite, an open-plan living/dining area and a recently refitted kitchen — practical for weekend retreats, holiday letting or downsize living. A large deck and private 30ft mooring put the water on your doorstep and provide attractive views across the marina.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold (979 years remaining) and will be sold at online auction on 28 August 2025; auction terms require a 5% deposit, a buyer’s premium and completion within 28 days. Annual costs include a service charge (c. £1,196) and a high ground rent (£2,377) — factor these into running costs or rental calculations.
Suitability: buyers looking for a lock-up-and-leave waterside base or investors seeking holiday-let income will value the location, parking and marina access. The area scores highly for affluence, broadband and low crime, and local schools are strong. However the property sits in a high flood-risk zone; buyers should obtain flood insurance quotes and study the legal pack for any site-specific obligations or special conditions.
Condition and opportunity: the lodge is described as well-presented with recent kitchen and bathroom works, but it offers obvious scope for cosmetic updating or layout refinement to increase rental yield or resale value. The auction sale is unconditional on the fall of the hammer — do your due diligence (legal pack, surveys, insurance) before bidding.
