ACCOMMODATION
With approx 2.5 acres of well-maintained lawns, feature trees, well-stocked beds, a wooden boat landing stage, and a substantial wrap-around deck, the property benefits from an in-and-out gravel driveway with secure electric gates, and a 'log cabin' style outbuilding.

The living space enjoys a high-quality open-plan layout, with river views beyond the garden room. The bedroom wing is separated by glazed double doors and there is also an integrated annexe apartment.

A door opens to the attached annexe, with a double bedroom with a window to the front, a kitchenette with granite worktops, a carpeted sitting area, and a bathroom comprising a bath with shower over, a w.c. and a wash hand basin.

Outside
The front of the property benefits from an in-and-out gravel driveway with separate electric gates, attractive planting with 'standard' Red Robin shrubs lining the driveway, and a feature fountain. The broad deck which wraps around 2 sides of the house provides an idyllic outdoor living space, perfect for Al Fresco dining and sundowners.

The elevated deck leads to the jacuzzi hot tub to rear of the property, nestled in amongst attractive planting. Mature trees dot the lawn, and many have dramatic up-lighters. A wooden ‘Boma-style’ area encircles a fire pit and provides a cosy sanctuary for outdoor seating.

The modern private tennis court is set to one side close to the main house and is enclosed by chain-link fencing. The log cabin has light and power and would make a useful home office. The detached double garage has light and power.
