3 bed detached house for sale

Boat Lane, Bleasby, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire NG14

This charming former lock keeper’s cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a truly unique riverside retreat.

Situated on an island beside Hazelford Lock on the River Trent, the property is available with no upward chain.

Accessible only by foot, the journey to the cottage adds to its charm and sense of seclusion.

From Main Street, between the villages of Bleasby and Fiskerton, a private lane leads past open farmland to a parking area, where the property’s detached garage is located. From here, a footbridge crosses the river, providing the only access to the cottage.

Set on a picturesque plot with gardens surrounding all sides, the cottage is beautifully presented in a traditional style.

The entrance hall leads to a welcoming lounge, where dual-aspect windows frame views of the lock and front garden. A fireplace with a solid fuel stove and back boiler provides warmth, heating both the hot water and central heating system.

The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style base and wall units, complemented by worktops and tiled splashbacks. Range Master oven with a five-ring gas hob (powered by Calor gas tanks), integrated dishwasher, and freestanding American-style fridge freezer complete the space. French doors open onto the garden, while a breakfast bar island and a cold-water filter tap add to the kitchen’s appeal. A stable door leads into the utility room, which houses a washing machine, dryer, additional storage, and access to the rear garden.

On the ground floor, a well-appointed shower room includes a double-width shower enclosure, low flush WC, and wash hand basin with vanity storage.

Upstairs, the landing enjoys views over the river and provides access to the loft via a fitted ladder.

The main bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room with electric shower.
The second bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and a storage cupboard housing the hot water tank. A third bedroom offers a versatile space, perfect for use as a study.

The rear garden is a private oasis, ideal for those who appreciate nature and outdoor living. Peaceful and secluded, it offers endless potential for a keen gardener or anyone seeking a tranquil escape.
