Set within the sought-after Riverside Island Marina in Isleham, this charming CHAIN-FREE waterside lodge enjoys an enviable position within a unique marina development of Scandinavian-style chalets, surrounded by tranquil woodland and scenic waterways. The island setting offers a peaceful lifestyle,
with a picturesque one-mile circular walk weaving through shaded, tree-lined paths and around calm inlets, creating a truly idyllic environment.
The property itself is well-presented and thoughtfully arranged, featuring a bright and welcoming open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area that forms the heart of the home. This sociable space is fitted with attractive shaker-style units and benefits from excellent natural light, with sliding glass doors opening directly onto a balcony — an ideal spot for relaxing while taking in views over the marina and surrounding landscape.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both offering extensive built-in storage, making excellent use of the space and providing comfortable accommodation for residents or guests. The modern bathroom is finished with a contemporary white suite, including a bath with shower over and vanity storage, while additional storage is provided by a practical loft/store room accessed via a drop-down ladder.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a block-paved driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles, bordered by established planting and with gated side access leading to the rear. The south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying open views across the river. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, it features a paved walkway, lawned garden, and a decked seating area positioned beside the private mooring. Steps lead up to the brick-built balcony above, creating a wonderful elevated seating area, with further storage beneath.
This property would suit a wide range of buyers, from boating enthusiasts and weekend retreat seekers to those looking for a unique full-time waterside home.
