When house hunters talk about buying a home in an idyllic 'back to nature' location, who would have thought such a setting would be right on our doorstep?
Just eight miles or so from Nottingham city centre is a property that is on the water's edge.
And not only on the water's edge but also in the heart of Attenborough Nature Reserve.
According to Robert Ellis estate agents in Beeston, the property is in need full renovation and improvement but does have two bedrooms, a bathroom and a one reception room.
The selling agent adds that the property stands in Barton Lane, Attenborough and has "fantastic development potential, subject to the necessary consents" of course.
But it's the location and the fact that the home comes with both mooring and fishing rights that will attract attention too. In fact, this property was listed in property website Zoopla's top five most viewed Nottinghamshire homes last month.
Mooring and fishing rights on the River Trent as well as some amazing views are listed on the sales details of the property.
The agent adds: "This is a fabulous opportunity that can only be truly appreciated through viewing".
As the property requires full renovation and improvement it is only available to cash buyers but is chain free and comes with vacant possession.
Outside, the property has parking for a number of vehicles to the side of the building as well as an area of land to the rear which is currently left wild though was formerly a garden.
Beyond this is an area of marshland providing a scenic backdrop and home to a variety of wildlife as you'd expect in such a setting.
For sale at a guide price £200,000, full details on the property, along with viewing arrangements are available from the selling agents.
Potential buyers should be aware that while the property has mains electric, there is no mains sewage - the property has a septic tank for sewage - and there is no mains water. Water for the property is currently pumped from a well.
