The location is a fisherman’s dream! Or, indeed it would appeal to anyone who is looking for a retreat from the stresses and strains of daily life and looking to benefit from the calming and restorative qualities of riverside living. There is no risk of flooding. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (2 of which are on the Ground Floor) and a large kitchen and living room, this property has B&B income-generating potential by the creation of a couple of letting rooms. There is also a very large, inviting swimming pool. Or, it could just be used as large family home. The current owners have undertaken a good deal of upgrading work at the property in recent years. Outside the rear facades have been completely restored, with the assistance of the Heritage Association. The front façade is yet to be done. Guttering has been replaced as have some roof beams. The pool liner and skimmers and pipework have also all been replaced. Internally, there have been new bathrooms fitted, a new boiler installed, a decorative make-over in part, with painting of beams in lovely muted 'Farrow and Ball' colours. There are just a couple of rooms still to do, but the majority of the work has been done!However, there is still a wonderful rustic charm that pervades the property.
