This is an exclusive development for over 55's so it's a peaceful and relaxing area with gardens that you can truly enjoy. There is plenty to do locally with a good number of friendly clubs to join, catering for most tastes. Your first view of its setting is breath-taking itself and doesn't do enough to prepare you for what's inside.

Step inside and enter a bright and spacious entrance hall, with stairs to the first floor ahead, with a short passage leading to the downstairs bathroom and a luxurious study. We'll return here shortly but for now, take the door immediately to your left to enter the living room.

You'll first notice how much space the room has, with large windows offering fantastic views of the front, side and rear of the property and allowing plenty of light to reach inside. Wall mounted lighting adds atmosphere at night and there is a gorgeous fireplace with a marble base and surround. It's a long room with pale walls and carpet and a side entry to the dining room for views right through to the back garden and the river that you overlook.

Cross the threshold to enter the dining room, which continues the style and décor from the living room but is perfectly shaped and placed for a large table for all your meals. Just beyond this area lead to a conservatory area. This space can be used however you want, with room for chairs and a small table. There's also the door to the back garden.

Let's leave the dining room to lead us to the kitchen. Tiled flooring and partially tiled walls complement the wood cupboards at floor and wall level, which are topped with bright counters. It's a smart and stylish look with counters on three sides, offering plenty of space to get let your culinary skills come alive! An integrated oven and electric hob sit on the far wall with an extractor fan also installed, providing everything you need. You also get a view to the rear of the property with its river and trees.


Return to the entrance hall and, before taking the stairs, head down the short corridor to the bathroom. A bright room with a toilet and sink. Moving on we come to a luxury study with fitted furniture.


Take the stairs to the first floor and enter the door immediately on your left to find the family bathroom. A large bathtub with a separate shower with a matching toilet and sink. The walls are partially tiled and the window looks to the back garden.

Right next to the bathroom is the first of three bedrooms in this property. With views to the rear and the river, this room is large enough for a good-sized bed and furniture, with two doors along wall leading to further storage space, keeping everything neat and tidy.

Continue along the landing to find the second bedroom, which is front facing. This room also features a built-in wardrobe as well as plenty of space for a large bed and furniture.

Beyond this we find the final bedroom, the biggest in the house. It is an impressive size, stretching from front to back of the property. You can fit a huge amount of furniture here as well as any size bed you want and has a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom.

Head back to the ground floor and take the door at the back of the house to see the back garden. With the River Avon running just beyond the lawn area, you'll have a real sense of community here as the boundaries are few and space is shared with other residents but the views you'll enjoy are beautiful, with fields and meadows not far away. The running water adds a soothing backdrop to enjoy those sunny afternoons with friends or family. You have a patio overlooking the main river and a front garden managed by the management company. With the communal gardens, maintenance, the services are managed by the on-site management provided by Cognatum.
