The Property

Nestling in a small Marina with stunning and interesting views next to the River Ant, is Boathouse Cottage.  Designed and built by the present owner and completed in 2015 as a luxury holiday home, the cottage has been constructed and finished to the highest standard and is beautifully presented throughout.  This unique two bedroom, two bathroom home currently boasts a 5 Star Gold rating with Visit England, which is testament to the thought and attention to detail lavished upon it by the current owner.

Built of standard construction on piled foundations to resemble a converted boatshed, making a perfect second home, holiday let, perhaps with a view to retirement.

On entering the cottage, you are welcomed into the entrance hall which benefits from tiled flooring, which continues throughout the ground floor.  Leading off the entrance hall is a good sized kitchen fitted with Neff appliances and the dining area looks out to front of the cottage.  The South facing sitting room has doors opening onto an elevated decking area and a multi fuel / wood burner to cosy up with in the cooler months.  There is a ground floor cloakroom and laundry in the entrance hall and stairs leading up to a very spacious landing, flooded with natural light from Velux windows with two bedrooms off.

The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, has an en-suite shower room and a stunning views over the Marina and river beyond from double aspect windows.  The second bedroom, also a double, looks out to the front of the cottage and the family bathroom with bath and separate shower adjacent to it.

Outside

Boathouse Cottage is set in a landscaped garden with seating on the decking immediately outside the sitting room and a further bench under the kitchen window.  All perfect for relaxing in the sunshine and watching people 'messing around in boats'.

There is a private paved service area and private parking to the rear of the cottage. 

There is also an opportunity to acquire a mooring overlooked by the cottage, if you have your own boat.
