Set on the River Stour in the small, private Watermead development, this single-storey home offers immediate river access, a floating pontoon and slipway. The open-plan living space and conservatory capture uninterrupted water views and lead onto a decked terrace — ideal for relaxed, low-rise living and boats up to 26 ft.
The bungalow is chain free and has practical benefits: off-street parking for two cars, double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators. A modest service charge covers communal lawns and the slipway; the neighbouring plot has planning consent for a contemporary riverside remodel, indicating scope for significant uplift in the area.
The property requires modernisation throughout and will suit buyers prepared to renovate rather than move in immediately. There is a high flood risk here; buyers should obtain specialist insurance and factor flood resilience works into any upgrade. While the pontoon was recently installed, the plot is relatively small and the internal footprint is compact — strength lies in the location and mooring rather than extensive living space.
This is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a single-storey, boating-orientated home minutes from Christchurch town centre. It will particularly appeal to those who value direct river frontage and are ready to invest in improvements to unlock greater value.
