Humberts are delighted to bring to the market this semi-detached, spacious three-bedroom property occupying an elevated position in the sought-after waterside village of Malpas. The property affords breath taking river views from all principal rooms on both floors.

Entering the property leads you into a hallway, with the first door opening to the living room featuring a large floor-to-ceiling window and glazed door with views to the river. From the living room a door opens into the dining room, with a simliar full height window and door opening to the front patio. The dining room features original parquet flooring and superb water views from the French doors. To the rear is a nice sized kitchen with a range of period cabinetry. A rear aspect door opens out into a generous utility area with plumbing for white goods and a hallway leading to a WC, workshop, wood store and a door leading out to the front garden.

From the entrance hallway the stairs rise to serve the first floor, opening onto a spacious landing affording generous natural light. The master bedroom is a good double and features front facing windows with views over the river and surrounding countryside. The second bedroom is also of a good size and features windows with a door opening onto a balcony providing superb views up and down the river. To the rear elevation is the third bedroom with a rear aspect window. Completing the first floor is a bathroom featuring a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and a separate WC.

Externally the gardens are extremely spacious, with terraces to the front elevation and a gently sloping garden to the rear. There is tremendous potential for decking areas and patios, all whilst retaining a good degree of privacy. The gardens also enjoy a wonderful view down to the river.
To the front, the new driveway provides parking for two or three cars and there is also the added benefit of a garage located in a block of three just a short distance from the property.

The property has been recently upgraded with solar panels, a battery storage unit, Air Source central heating and upgraded insulation.

The home has the added benefit of planning permissions which permit the addition of a river facing balcony, two storey extension to the gable end and changing to reverse level accommodation. Further details for this planning permission are available from Humberts.
