Set on a very large private plot and backing onto the River Soar with moorings, this substantial detached residence offers flexible accommodation across two storeys. The ground floor provides multiple principal rooms, three bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the first floor hosts two large double bedrooms each with en-suite facilities, one of which includes a sauna. A loft storage area offers potential for conversion subject to consents.
Practical strengths include a double garage, extensive block-paved driveway with additional caravan/motorhome standing behind double gates, gas central heating, double glazing and an Energy Rating of C. The living/dining kitchen and separate reception rooms give scope for modern family living and entertaining, while the mature rear garden and riverside position create a private, sheltered setting.
Important considerations: the property lies in a high flood risk area due to its riverside location, which will affect insurance and flood mitigation requirements. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. Council Tax is in a high band (G), reflecting running costs. The house dates from the late 1960s–1970s era and may require updating in places; buyers should commission a full survey.
Offered freehold and with no upward chain, the house will suit buyers seeking generous indoor/outdoor space and riverside moorings, but prospective purchasers should factor in flood risk management, potential renovation and slower internet service when assessing suitability.
