Description Tudor Cree is a unique conversion of a former brewery, and forms a stylish three bedroom home.

Both the impressive sitting room and the master bedroom have patio doors leading to balconies which are suspended over the river, from which stunning views of the water and all the associated wildlife can be enjoyed.

The current owners have seen ducks, otters and kingfishers from here, and the balconies are ideal for enjoying summer evenings with a glass of something chilled whilst watching the natural world of the river go by.

The sitting room, which forms the first floor, enjoys triple aspect views, and a fabulous stone fireplace in which nestles a log-burner for colder nights.

From here, steps lead up to the large attic space, which has plaster walls and a proper window overlooking the river.

It is an ideal space for a home office, art studio or even more living accommodation, subject to obtaining necessary planning consents, building warrants etc.

The large kitchen has space for a dining area or for use as a family ‘snug’, and the property benefits from ‘lateral living’ for an older relative with a bedroom, the bathroom and the kitchen all being on the ground floor.

The lower ground floor is home to two further double bedrooms, including the aforementioned master bedroom with balcony.

A welcoming garden room/entrance vestibule opens from the garden, and leads into the generous main hallway, off which all ground floor accommodation can be accessed including the useful separate cloakroom WC.

Steps lead up to the sitting room, and another set lead down to the lower ground floor.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire this unique riverside home, the sellers are only the second set of owners since its conversion around 45 years ago.

It has been enjoyed as a second home for the last 20 years but could equally be a wonderful main home with lots of room for family and friends to visit.
