WILLOW DENE
Ratcliffe-on-Soar | Redhill Marina | Nottinghamshire
£4,750 PCM | Exceptional Riverside Residence | Up to Five Bedrooms | Approximately 2,983 Sq Ft
A LIFE LESS ORDINARY. A HOME RIGHT ON THE WATER.
Imagine waking to the gentle movement of boats along the River Soar, enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water and spending summer evenings watching life unfold on the river.
At Willow Dene, this isn’t a weekend escape. It’s everyday life.
Occupying an exceptional waterside position at Redhill Marina, this substantial and highly individual detached residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy riverside living without sacrificing space, comfort or connectivity.
With approximately 2,983 sq ft of accommodation, magnificent reception spaces, two outstanding principal bedroom suites, private balconies and the flexibility to accommodate up to five bedrooms, Willow Dene offers a lifestyle that is genuinely difficult to replicate.
For those with a passion for boating, the property also offers the potential for multiple boat moorings, subject to the necessary arrangements and permissions.
THE HEART OF THE HOME
Inside, the accommodation is every bit as impressive as its setting.
A substantial entrance hallway introduces the generous proportions that characterise the property, leading through to an exceptional arrangement of living and entertaining spaces.
The kitchen, extending to approximately 20 feet, forms a superb centrepiece, with its large island providing a natural gathering place for family and friends.
Adjoining the kitchen is a dedicated dining room, while the magnificent principal living room, measuring over 20 feet in length, provides an elegant setting for entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day.
The arrangement offers an enviable balance of open, sociable spaces and separate rooms in which to retreat.
Beyond the principal reception areas, a separate family room provides a further generously proportioned living space, ideal as an informal lounge, television room or children’s retreat.
ROOM TO LIVE LIFE YOUR WAY
One of Willow Dene’s greatest strengths is the versatility of its layout.
A separate snug provides a wonderfully comfortable retreat, while the substantial office is ideal for those working from home.
Both rooms could alternatively be utilised as additional bedrooms, giving the property the flexibility to offer up to five bedrooms, subject to individual requirements and suitability.
A further ground-floor bedroom, family bathroom, utility room and guest cloakroom complete this level.
Whether accommodating a growing family, welcoming overnight guests or balancing professional and family life, Willow Dene offers the space to do so with ease.
TWO EXCEPTIONAL BEDROOM SUITES
The first floor is particularly impressive.
Positioned on opposite sides of the property, the two principal bedrooms offer outstanding proportions and an appealing degree of privacy.
The primary bedroom extends to approximately 20 feet 5 inches by 16 feet 11 inches, complemented by its own en-suite bathroom, generous dressing accommodation and access to a private balcony.
The second principal suite is similarly impressive, measuring approximately 20 feet by 16 feet 11 inches, with its own en-suite facilities, dressing accommodation and balcony access.
These are rooms designed to be enjoyed, offering considerably more than simply somewhere to sleep.
THE RIVER ON YOUR DOORSTEP
It is the setting, however, that makes Willow Dene truly memorable.
Situated directly beside the River Soar, within the established surroundings of Redhill Marina, the property enjoys a distinctive relationship with the water.
Narrowboats and pleasure cruisers, the changing seasons along the riverbank and the atmosphere of the marina all contribute to a setting that feels far removed from conventional suburban living.
For boating enthusiasts, the location is especially appealing. With the potential for multiple moorings, subject to separate agreement, there is an opportunity to enjoy the waterways as part of everyday life.
For others, the attraction is simply being beside the water — enjoying the outlook, the changing light and the wonderful sense of escape that comes with riverside living.
Whether entertaining friends on a summer evening, enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the river or returning home after a busy working day, Willow Dene offers an altogether different perspective on life.
REDHILL MARINA — A REMARKABLE LOCATION
Redhill Marina occupies a fascinating position on the River Soar, close to its meeting with the River Trent and the wider network of waterways around Trent Lock.
This is an area with a character all of its own, where established boating traditions, riverside scenery and open countryside create an attractive setting for those who appreciate life outdoors.
The waterways offer opportunities for boating and exploring, while the surrounding landscape provides an appealing contrast to the pace of city life.
Yet for all its individuality, Willow Dene remains exceptionally well connected.
East Midlands Parkway railway station is nearby, providing convenient mainline rail connections, while the A453, M1 motorway and East Midlands Airport are all readily accessible.
Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough and Leicester are also within reach, making the property particularly attractive to professionals, relocating families and those seeking an unusual home with excellent regional connections.
SOME HOMES ARE SIMPLY DIFFERENT
Willow Dene is not a conventional rental property.
It is a substantial home with remarkable flexibility, exceptional bedroom accommodation and a waterside position that gives it an identity entirely of its own.
From the generous proportions of its living spaces to the appeal of the River Soar just beyond, this is a property that offers far more than an impressive address.
It offers the opportunity to live somewhere genuinely special.
Willow Dene — where life by the water becomes a way of life.
