“The owners purchased what was once a tiny cottage, built in the mid 1800s. The

cottage had connections with the river as, at

one time, reeds from the river were harvested

and stored here for basket making. Almost

derelict, they recognised its enormous potential

to become an outstanding home, and undertook

a sizeable project to renovate and extend the

cottage. It was eight months before they could

move into their new home.

vendor


They took the refurbishment of the cottage very seriously and only used tradespeople who really knew how to deal with a traditional building. Now a delightful

spacious family home and, although full of modern innovation and

comfort, it retains its cottage ambience. The family spend lots of

time in the kitchen; a beautiful room with cream shaker units, oak

beams and work surfaces, all combined to make the room homely

and elegant.

insight


The main reception room has a very comfortable and cosy feeling, again, with wooden floors, beams and a lovely fireplace, it has lots of character.

A splendid house which to share with friends and family, especially on those sunny

days, or warm evenings, when guests can gather in the garden room and spill out

onto the spacious patio to observe life on the river.


The garden is south facing and laid to lawn. Safely fenced at its river frontage, the family children have always played happily and safely here. A peaceful, tranquil garden in which to relax and enjoy

watching life on the river. Another advantage of living here is that the owners have fishing rights and also rights for their own mooring.
