About this property

A Rare Riverside Opportunity with Incredible Potential A characterful three-bedroom bay-fronted terrace with a wonderful River Kennet outlook, private garden and exciting scope to create a truly special home.

Backing directly onto the River Kennet, this attractive bay-fronted terrace offers a rare combination of period character, generous living space, a private garden and genuine potential for modernisation.
