Riverside House, Roydon

CHAIN FREE HOME ON THE RIVER STORT. A handsome, double fronted characterful residence occupying a unique position with gardens stretching down to the banks of the River Stort. The original part of this house is believed to date back to the mid 1800’s, with striking vertical hung tiles complementing the façade, where later additions to the property blend seamlessly with the original structure. There is a possibility of further enlarging the property, subject to the usual planning consents. Being just a short stroll to the village High Street and Roydon mainline railway station, providing direct access to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, this is a truly unique property and a superb opportunity to own something rather special.
