Description
The Boathouse occupies an idyllic position alongside the River Thames. Set at the end of a private road, electric gates open to reveal this remarkable and architecturally designed cedar clad property. The Boathouse has undergone a meticulous renovation and major extension, which has been completed to
the highest specification throughout. This has been executed beautifully, focusing on a “pared-back aesthetic” design, creating a stunning home. Completed in 2018 this award winning renovation was recognised by The Sunday Times as a finalist in their British Home Awards, The Daily Telegraph Best Renovation 2019, The Times Bricks & Mortar supplement and Grand Designs magazine.
This breath-taking home offers approximately 4,435 sqft of luxurious accommodation arranged over two floors, along with garaging/ workshop, accessed via a 160m long private driveway.
Highlights on the ground floor include open-plan living, with wonderful flowing accommodation from the impressive central atrium, to the dining room, sunken drawing room with polished concrete floors and feature open fireplace. Slim profile sliding doors fully open along the overhanging cantilevered roof. “Open corners” enable the living area to be seamlessly connected to the decked terrace and garden beyond. The impressive kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of
bespoke oak veneered cupboards and drawers, integrated Gaggenau appliances, a concealed pantry cupboard and large
central island with marble work surfaces. A concealed study/library fitted with bespoke shelving, utility room, gym, cinema room and cloakroom complete this floor.
The oak staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing with extensive glazing, providing a picturesque outlook over the
grounds. The spectacular principal bedroom with air-conditioning includes paneled feature walls and discreetly concealed built-in wardrobes. The luxurious en suite has a
soaking tub, perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the garden. This floor has four further beautifully presented bedrooms (1 en suite) and a family bathroom.
The landscaped gardens and grounds have been carefully designed. To the front of the property there is an expansive lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and feature trees.
The driveway sweeps up to the parking area adjoining the house, defined with slate shingle, which cleverly mirrors the
silver of the cedar cladding. Adjacent to the main house is the expansive garaging and storage space.
The rear south westerly facing garden has been thoughtfully planned. The centerpiece being the elevated and beautifully designed decked terrace with wonderful views over the River Thames, outdoor lighting and feature open fireplace. A wonderful space and suntrap, taking advantage of the early
evening sun, which is ideal for year round entertaining. Additionally the lower terrace adjoining the house has an outdoor kitchen and a pizza oven.
A gate provides access across the towpath to the mooring with decked jetty. Onward use is subject to an acceptable license from the Environment Agency.
