A charming three story townhouse of about 2120 sq ft, with river views, fishing rights, a mooring and a gorgeous garden leading right to the edge of the River Avon. Situated in the heart of Christchurch town centre, the house was built in the mid 1800’s and offers massive potential for modernisation/improvement/redevelopment (subject to any necessary permissions).
The house has been in the family for decades and was last on the market in 1957. The ground floor reception room facing the road was for many years, a yacht chandlery which has now relocated. Planning permission has been granted to convert this back from commercial to residential (Application number 8/24/0756/COU). There is pedestrian access to the property from Bridge Street itself, whilst the vehicular access is under the archway to the left-hand side of the house which leads to the private driveway for up to four cars, The second pedestrian access to the house is via an external staircase. The property is now in need of modernising and offers massive potential for improvement. The garden to the property is separate to the main house and completely secure with a large garden chalet and lawn leading to the waters edge. The owner has moored a boat up to 6m in length on the river. IMPORTANT NOTES- 1. the garden can flood during the winter period. 2. The house itself is locally listed and the garden is in the Green Belt. There are bats in the roof of the main property mid Spring/mid Summer 3. There are flood defence barriers on the garden which will be shut by the environment agency if required.
