Bankside Cottages – A Picture-Perfect Riverside Home. A truly picture-perfect cottage in an idyllic setting overlooking the River Trent and the Trent Valley. Bankside Cottages are hidden in plain sight — a peaceful, semi-rural haven about a mile from Stone, offering the sense of being miles from anywhere while remaining within easy walking distance of the town. This lovely home has been cherished by the same owners for many years and has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled to create a comfortable and deceptively spacious interior that retains many original features and period character.
Occupying a large, elevated plot, the property enjoys beautifully maintained gardens with panoramic views across the Trent Valley and direct access to the River Trent at the foot of the garden.
