OUTSIDE SPACE
The property benefits from two garages set back from the road with a gravel driveway in front with parking for up to four vehicles. The garages offer potential for re-building to create a wet boathouse, if required. A secure gate leads into the garden from the driveway area.
The beautiful south facing garden is part lawn and part patio, set across multiple levels. The river runs all the way along the garden and stretches to approximately 200ft of river frontage providing a long mooring area. The patio and path are at higher levels to allow for the river rising. The patio has been recently re-laid and is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the river privately, in between two mature willow trees and surrounded by plants and flowers. There is a summerhouse complete with electrics facing the wonderful views that could be converted to a home office or gym. The garden has an additional rear area that includes a second lawn and storage shed.
