Stroll past this pretty suburban house in a quiet Leicestershire cul-de-sac, and you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid. You certainly wouldn't expect it to have its own private island.
But this four-bedroomed property backs on to the River Wreake, and a small bridge connects the back garden with an island almost half an acre in size, part of a large strip of land that divides the river in two.
The island is used by the current occupants as extra garden space, with a trampoline set up, and a few small outbuildings. But the new owners could let their imaginations run wild.
