Charming Grade II listed character house overlooking the river and quay.

Description

A most appealing Grade II listed period house understood to date from the late 18th or early 19th century having handsome elevations of red brick under a stone edged tiled roof. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers a versatile layout that could be arranged to suit a variety of buyer’s need. The room sizes are particularly generous and the majority offer beautiful views across the river, the bridge and the quayside. There is a charming sunny walled courtyard garden to the front and side, and importantly a driveway with parking for several cars and two garages. It is fair to say that the house would now benefit from some modernisation and refurbishment yet offers huge scope for a buyer to personalise and improve to their own taste.

Houses in this location rarely become available and early viewing is strongly advised.

The covered porch and glazed front door open into the entrance hall with understairs cupboard and guest cloakroom. The good size drawing room has a brick and polished Purbeck stone fireplace with gas fire, a beamed ceiling with feature stone corbels, and a window with window seat overlooking the garden and the river. The dining room enjoys similar views with double aspect windows, and has a wood flooring. A room divider provides useful storage, and opens into the kitchen which is fitted with a range of units, gas hob and extractor hood, double oven, dresser unit and a walk in larder. The utility room has a range of floor and wall units, a double sink, plumbing for washing machine, and a door to a rear porch with an outside store.

From the hall, a staircase with oak handrail leads up to the first floor landing, with linen cupboard. The generous main bedroom is L shaped and enjoys beautiful river views. It has a good range of built in wardrobes, a fireplace, and a fully tiled en suite shower room with basin, bidet and WC. The second bedroom is also a good size and has similar views, together with built in wardrobes and a dressing table. Also on this floor are the occasional fourth bedroom/dressing room, with a roof light, brick fireplace and a wardrobe, and the modern family bathroom with bath, basin, WC and a river view.

The staircase continues up to the second floor landing, with an eaves storage cupboard and a roof light with a view of the church tower. The large third bedroom has a superb river view, a wardrobe, a brick fireplace, and a modern electric heater. There is an adjacent bathroom with bath basin and WC.
