Description

General Description

An outstanding and unique modern home designed and built as a complete one-off with a river frontage and fishing/mooring rights. The property has been engineered to an exacting standard and is raised on piles to give exceptional views and ensure that the property is not compromised by periods of high water. Designed and constructed on behalf of the current sellers, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional, interesting, and superb quality waterside property ideally located in the Midlands, which has fantastic motorway, rail, and air links across the country and Europe. 

The Property

The property is designed around its outlook across the river and the open countryside beyond. Finished to an exceptional and exacting standard and elevated on piles above ground level, expect to find beautiful open-plan interiors. The accommodation is spread over two floors and extends to approximately 1,200 square feet.

There are two double bedrooms, a large four-piece family bathroom, and the most impressive zoned open-plan living area with unspoilt views to the rear. Featuring an entrance hall area, dining and living spaces, and a high-specification fully-fitted kitchen, the living space is unique and contemporary. Additionally, there is a useful utility room/WC off the hall. The property has been carefully designed and offers plentiful storage throughout.

Of note are the open balcony terraces to the rear. Upstairs, a glazed terrace opens from the main bedroom. To the ground floor, there is a generous wrap-around deck from where the main living space opens to create rarely available ‘inside out’ living with a dramatic and stunning backdrop.

The Outside

Set as one of a small number of properties on an island between two arms of the River Soar, and originally forming a small development of timber weekend retreat lodges, the property occupies a large plot and was completely redesigned, engineered and rebuilt by the current seller around 15 years ago. Beautifully landscaped, the grounds include a gravel-laid private driveway, and formal wrap-around gardens with mature lawns, borders and evergreen structure. There is also a substantial insulated summer house to the rear left corner. 

The Location

Zouch is a small village settlement in beautiful surroundings. Set on the River Soar, the village benefits from lovely walks, a local marina and a boat club. Loughborough town centre is 3 miles away, with a full range of amenities, a train station with direct line to London St Pancras, and the highly regarded Loughborough University. East Midlands airport is also 6 miles by car, and the cities of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Birmingham are all situated within 45 minutes via the M1 motorway connection, just 2 miles away.
