This wooden cabin on the River Trent has been valued at £325,000, here's why

It is clear from the pictures that this is no ordinary cabin.

From the front it looks individual and there's no doubt it is pretty but take a look around the back and at the view and its setting and you'll understand a little more about the reason it has a price tag of £325,000.

The current owner said that it's a very special place to live with a lovely community.

Imagine stepping out of your back door, having the River Trent at the edge of your lawn and your boat tied up alongside. This property in Barton-in-Fabis comes with not only an idyllic view but mooring rights and fishing rights.

However, while I'm afraid a boat isn't included in the sale, there is a floating pontoon ready to tie up and access any future purchase of a boat you may make.

And it's these features that add not only to its appeal but also to its monetary value.

Valuer Philip Barton at Robert Ellis said: "With mooring and fishing rights plus a pontoon it is a property that stands out."

The view from here is stunning. Overlooking the River Trent towards Attenborough Nature Reserve, there's an abundance of wildlife on your doorstep too. It really is a lifestyle change that could bring a new peaceful way of life your way.

In fact, selling agents, Robert Ellis estate agents in Beeston, termed it a "a once in a lifetime opportunity".

So, just what is on offer?

For a start, this is a two-bedroom property.

Inside the bespoke home there's a natural wood theme that runs throughout the accommodation reinforcing the cabin styling and bringing a sense of calm.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, as well as a hob and oven, and there's a utility cupboard where there is plumbing for a washing machine. The lounge/diner takes full advantage of the views with patio doors, while the bathroom has a quirky free-standing tin style bath that is a delight as well as a separate shower cubicle with an electric shower.

But life in this property is not just about what the cabin has to offer in terms of accommodation, it's about lifestyle.

The owner says that they love watching snow fall on the river in the winter from the warmth of the lounge with its log burner.

In fact, it's the perfect spot to watch the changing seasons. The owner talks of opening the curtains on an Autumn morning and seeing the mist roll round on the river.

Outside, the property, which only went up for sale this week, there is space to park your car as well as lawn areas, naturalised areas with mature trees and also various sheds. Of course there is the mooring and pontoon already mentioned plus lovely raised decks from where you can simply sit back and enjoy the setting and view.

Is there a downside to the purchase? Well, unfortunately the selling agent says that it is only available to cash buyers. But if that's you, this is a fabulous opportunity to live on the banks of the River Trent.
