Description

With a privileged setting on the river, this freehold property overlooks the Thames and the green expanse of Higginson Park beyond. The house forms part of a sought-after gated development built in the 1980s and enjoys all the benefits of town living, being a short distance (0.2 miles) from the High Street, being a pleasant walk over the Grade-I listed suspension bridge.

Internally the spacious accommodation is a little dated and would benefit from modernisation, posing a fantastic opportunity for personalisation by the new owner.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with storage cupboard under the stairs, a 20ft open plan sitting room and dining room, with sliding doors opening to a private riverside terrace, and a separate spacious kitchen. There is also a separate room which could equally work as a third bedroom or snug, along with a good size ground floor bathroom.

The first floor has two good-size double bedrooms, the main room being particularly spacious with built-in storage and access to a private balcony with stunning river views. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The layout is flexible in that other residents in the development have utilised the larger first floor room as a reception room instead, providing a wonderful space with a balcony, with elevated views over the river.

The house has a private setting behind a gated entrance and benefits from two private parking spaces, with separate car parking for visitors. Rivermead Court is set within pretty communal gardens which lead down to the river. The property has a private terrace on the ground floor and a separate balcony on the first floor, both with views over the river.
