RIVERSIDE HOUSE 
Bishop Bridge

An impressive 5 bedroom property set in 4 acres with a small holding licence and the benefit of a river mooring on the River Ancholme. Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The Property

For generations river frontage has been seen as a benchmark of quality for fine properties and the aptly named Riverside House has this advantage in double measure as it nestles between the River Ancholme and the River Rase in Bishopbridge, just west of Market Rasen. Originally two cottages but transformed many years ago into a magnificent single dwelling, the property offers deceptive levels of space and the grounds stretch out along the river banks to approaching four acres, including delightful formal gardens and a  paddock perfect for grazing, benefiting from a small holding licence which can be transferred to any prospective purchaser. The Vendors are motivated sellers and have listed the property below the Strike Valuation with No Forward Chain.

The house has the benefit of oil fired central heating, uPVC framed double glazing and a security alarm. Principle  features include the central Reception Hall with its slender Georgian style staircase, the delightful front Sitting Room with a classic mahogany fire surround and the useful Study/Family Room. A Dining Kitchen provides excellent space for everyday dining and provides a spacious extension to the stunning main Kitchen, being hand made and bespoke, with a large feature canopy, island units, traditional belfast sink and additional complementary storage cabinetry. There is a formal Dining Room with a brick fireplace and a superb rear Lounge complete with a full height brick fireplace solid Oak distressed ceiling beams and French doors to the rear garden. Fitted with Intruder Alarm and all round CCTV.

Riverside House benefits from two staircases and the rear staircase hallway gives direct access to the Cloakroom and the handy Utility Room.

There are FIVE double bedrooms in total with the Master Bedroom and adjoining shower room capable of being independently accessed from the rear staircase giving it the feeling of a separate suite. The other four double bedrooms are principally accessed from the main front staircase and this area of the first floor is served by a well equipped Family Bathroom.

In our opinion the setting of Riverside House and its outdoor space will for many be the principal element of its appeal. With delightful River views to both sides, bridges, a small weir, nearby mooring for narrowboats and private mooring being adjacent to the property, there is a varied variety of wildlife that live on the river, this is a rare combination indeed. To the eastern side of the River Rase a further gateway gives access to a grassed area which is included with Riverside House.

The rural location of the property belies its convenience with central Grimsby and Lincoln for example being only around 25 minute drive away. The nearby town of Market Rasen provides all the facilities one could need and a school bus which serves De Aston School picks up directly outside the house.

All in all Riverside House is a very special property in a unique location and viewing is absolutely essential
