Riverbank Cottage - Riverbank Cottage is located in a perfect riverside setting, approached by a tree-lined driveway and positioned to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, privacy and space.
The accommodation includes both the main house and an annex: ideal for your guest to enjoy a short visit exploring the private woodland and riverside walks. The spacious lawn offers potential as a small paddock for those with equine interests or can simply be enjoyed as glorious gardens for those with green fingers.
A large timber garage and plenty of gravelled parking, along with outbuildings for storage, complete a wonderful home for the whole family to enjoy.
Accommodation - The side entrance door opens into a hallway which runs through the centre of the house. There is a ground floor w.c, a cloak storage cupboard and stairs leading up to the first floor.
The light and spacious living room features double doors looking out over woodland and down towards the river, with a further window overlooking the gardens. This room boasts a characterful exposed beam, timber parquet flooring and a beautiful feature Range oven with a stone surround and hearth.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of cottage-style units with granite work surfaces, a Belfast-style sink, plumbing for a dishwasher and space for an oven, hob and American-style fridge freezer. A door leads through to the useful walk-in pantry with shelving. The separate dining room is perfect for entertaining and is fitted with a range of cupboards, book shelves and a feature fireplace. A door from here leads through to the inner lobby, which was previously used as the main entrance to the property and has quarry tiled floor, an under-stairs storage cupboard, a door to the study/snug and a further door leading outside to the front.
The study or snug is a peaceful, tucked-away room with windows to two sides and an unused feature fireplace, perfect for use as a home office or a quiet spot in which to relax.
To the first floor, there is a walk-in store room with shelving and doors to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
A large double bedroom looking out over the front gardens has been fitted with a range of built-in wardrobes and a fireplace. There is a single bedroom enjoying the views over the paddock, with a large double bedroom to the rear which benefits from a range of built-in wardrobes and storage and a dual aspect over the woodland, gardens and paddock.
The large family bathroom has tiled flooring and features a free-standing bath, Victorian-style towel radiator, a step-in shower cubicle with drenching shower head, w.c and a vanity sink unit with storage under.
Externally - The environment and gardens surrounding Riverbank Cottage are what make this property truly special. These are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of seating areas, edged by woodland in places. For buyers wanting a small paddock, the lawned garden to the front would work perfectly although fencing would be required.
The property enjoys a slightly elevated position with lovely, terraced walks leading down to the riverbank and there is a patio seating area which can be accessed directly from the living room.
Behind the private gardens, there is a slope leading down towards a lower lawned terrace. Through a tree-lined archway, the current owners have created a roped pathway with railway sleepers, leading down into the woodland. The woodland itself is full of wildlife, with deer helping to maintain the pathways. A lower walk runs alongside the riverbank, with places to sit and enjoy the privacy and tranquillity.
Garage And Parking - The house is approached by a private, gated driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.
The large, timber double garage has twin double doors and a courtesy door to the side, with power and lighting connected.
Annex - The brick-built annex is fitted with 12 solar panels and has an attached wood store, a tool store and an electric car charger port.
The entrance leads directly into the kitchen, which has a range of units, electric oven and hob, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a dryer, access to the loft and a window to the front.
A door from the kitchen opens into the good-sized living room, which has double doors opening up to a patio overlooking the woodland. The adjacent shower room has a step-in shower cubicle, hand wash basin and low-level w.c.
Externally, there is a private, fenced garden dropping down to the woodland and walks beyond, providing a wonderful spot in which to enjoy the peace and quiet. There is also a purpose-built timber kennel and a timber shed.
Owner's Insight - The current owners love the feeling of being in a private and rural location, yet with good road links and access to nearby towns and infrastructure. The nature and wildlife is amazing and it is so peaceful and tranquil: a lovely home for the past 22 years.
Tenure - The property is freehold and will be offered with vacant possession on completion.
Viewings - Strictly by appointment with GSC Grays. Telephone:[use Contact Agent Button].
