What could be better for the keen angler than a house with fishing rights on its own stretch of natural river or well-stocked private lake?
Owning a property beside a stretch of water could mean you have automatic fishing rights, known as riparian rights. However you should not just assume they are included, and you should also seek clarification on whether any fishing is double or single bank.
To a fishing enthusiast, who covets the opportunity to cast a fly just a short walk across the garden from the kitchen or home office, a large premium can often be justified.
However, it is not just the fishing that adds to the appeal of waterside homes: a burn, river or lake greatly enhances a property’s surroundings and will give hours of pleasure across the generations.
Here are some of finest properties with fishing rights currently on the market across the UK.
