This room is further enhanced by an open fireplace with wood-burning stove and a charming fireside alcove with cupboard and shelving.
The integral garage, with up and over door, power and light, also benefits from plumbing for a washing machine and a wall-mounted gas boiler. To the rear of the garage, a door opens into a versatile studio, currently used as an art space, with delightful views over the garden.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Bedroom Two is a double room with integrated wardrobes, enjoying views across the garden and river. Bedroom One is also a double, featuring integrated wardrobes and a front aspect overlooking Reston Scar in the distance.

Thoughtfully designed, it features a generous lawn bordered by mature plants and trees, alongside a patio perfect for outdoor dining or simply relaxing while taking in the river views.
