Steps lead you down through landscaped grounds towards the water’s edge, creating a sense of anticipation as the river slowly comes into view. It is a fitting entrance to a property where natural beauty and thoughtful design intertwine.

A Peaceful Upper Retreat

On the upper floor lies a calm and characterful bedroom, its exposed beams offering warmth and texture against clean, contemporary finishes. Glass balustrades introduce a sense of openness, allowing light to filter between floors while framing views towards the ground level and the river beyond. A modern shower room sits alongside, cleverly designed with privacy and ease in mind, ensuring this floor functions as a self-contained sanctuary.

Light and Flow Below

A wide staircase draws you down into the heart of the home. At this level, a bathroom awaits, styled in neutral tones and fitted with a shower over the bath, heated towel rail, basin and WC.

From here, the home flows into a sleek and fully fitted kitchen, complete with induction hob, integrated dishwasher, and ample cabinetry. A breakfast bar provides an informal dining space, perfect for morning coffee or casual suppers. The kitchen merges effortlessly into a generous open-plan lounge, where glass doors extend the living space directly onto the balcony.

Set beyond the main living space, a second bedroom offers privacy and comfort in equal measure. With fitted wardrobes and a window welcoming natural light, this versatile room can serve as a restful guest suite, a dedicated study, or a peaceful retreat for family members.
