Elms Cottage - A Different Pace Of Life By The River Trent

Elms Cottage - A Different Pace of Life by the River Trent

Morning coffee overlooking the water, an afternoon spent on a favourite project and an evening sharing dinner with friends. At Elms Cottage, the setting and layout offer space for all three.

This modernised three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage combines comfortable living accommodation with a separate garden office, a substantial front workshop and a private garden extending to uninterrupted views of the River Trent, with direct river access.

Inside, the entrance hall leads into a generous kitchen, where a central island brings preparation, cooking and conversation together. There is room for everyday life to unfold around it, from leisurely breakfasts to catching up at the end of the day. A range of modern smart appliances adds convenience, while double doors connect the room with the outdoors.

A separate lounge offers somewhere to settle with a book or enjoy a quiet evening. Having this room alongside the larger kitchen gives the home a welcome balance of sociable and more restful spaces.

The dining room provides a dedicated setting for meals with family and friends, with its own double doors opening outside. Whether hosting a celebration or simply making time for dinner together, it is a room that encourages gathering around the table. A ground-floor WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around the landing. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and built-in storage, while the two remaining bedrooms are served by the main bathroom. The layout accommodates family life, visiting guests or the flexibility to dedicate a room to individual interests.

That flexibility continues beyond the cottage. The separate garden office creates a distinction between home and work, with a short walk through the garden replacing the daily commute. It could equally provide a quiet setting for study or creative pursuits, away from the activity of the main house.

At the front, the substantial workshop adds valuable space for practical hobbies, equipment and ongoing projects. For anyone who enjoys making, repairing or collecting, it offers the freedom to leave work in progress without taking over the living accommodation.

The private garden is arranged in two distinct areas, giving the outdoor space a sense of discovery. The first offers scope for everyday relaxation and entertaining; the second reveals the property’s defining feature: Uninterrupted views across the River Trent and direct access to the river.

Here, the water becomes part of the daily outlook. It is somewhere to pause before the day begins, take a break between meetings or spend an unhurried evening watching the changing light. The two garden areas allow space for company and activity alongside a quieter place to enjoy the riverside setting.

Elms Cottage brings together the appeal of cottage living, the convenience of modern appliances and useful spaces to work and create. With the River Trent at the garden’s edge, it offers a home where time outdoors can become as much a part of the routine as life within.

A cottage to settle into, with space to enjoy the way you want to live.
