Have you ever wanted to own your own home on an island? This opportunity might be right up your street. A charming lock keeper’s cottage on an island on the River Trent, on the market with estate agents Gascoines, offers exactly this, accessible by its own private footbridge across the river. Situated between East Stoke weir and Hazelford Lock, near to the villages of Bleasby and Fiskerton, the The Old Lock House is a three-bedroom detached property which offers unique seclusion.
With offers in the region of £450,000, the property features three generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area that opens onto a private patio overlooking the river. The bright, contemporary living room is complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fitted kitchen plus utility room, and a landing that affords a scenic outlook. The Old Lock House also includes a home office space, ample storage throughout, and a detached garage and parking on the other side of the footbridge.
The garden leads directly to the lock’s edge, offering a peaceful spot for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. For more information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Gascoines at 01636 813245 or visit www.gascoines.
