House For Sale £2,750,000
The Moorings is an impressive example of a contemporary riverside home. The house occupies a private position on the banks of the tranquil River Loddon and was completed in 2008, receiving a riba award soon after. The house is designed to optimise its riverside position, being raised up on steel stilts to take maximum vantage of the stunning surrounding views and enjoying the private gardens.
The house is accessed by a set of steel stairs, which lead up to the front door and entrance hallway. It was designed to provide a flexible and fluid living environment. The terrace, which almost spans the length of the house, is easily accessible through a set of Schucco sliding doors. The centrally positioned entrance hallway provides easy access to the main reception areas, which have been designed to maximise space and are perfect for entertaining, with Rako lighting, modesty blinds and underfloor heating throughout. The bespoke kitchen / dining room has an abundance of natural light and has large sliding doors, giving access to the terrace also. There are then three double bedroom suites off the entrance hallway, all of which have an en suite shower or bathroom. The spacious principal bedroom can be found on the second floor, which has an en suite shower room and dressing area.
The house is approached from the lane through discreet automatic gates and a sweeping driveway leads up to the house with plenty of parking available, both outside the house and in the area beneath the house. The garden is mainly lawned and leads down to the river front. There is a mooring and a decked terrace seating area over the river, providing an excellent view up and down stream.
The Moorings is situated in a peaceful, secluded position on the bank of the River Loddon. The river provides easy access to the River Thames, Wargrave and Henley-on-Thames. The property is situated on a private road, giving privacy and security. Wargrave and Twyford have good local shopping facilities and railway stations providing a regular service to London Paddington (from 39 and 31 minutes respectively) with the Elizabeth Line now open from Twyford. The market town of Henley-on-Thames (4 miles) to the north, offers excellent shopping, schooling and recreational facilities with more comprehensive facilities available in Maidenhead and Reading. The M4 (J8/9) is approximately 8.5 miles to the east, providing access to London (36 miles), London Heathrow airport, the West Country and the M25 linking with the national motorway network.
Sporting facilities in the area include golf at numerous surrounding courses including Castle Royle Golf & Country Club, Hennerton Golf Club, Temple, Badgemore, Henley and Huntercombe. There is racing at Ascot, Windsor and Newbury. There is boating, sailing and rowing on the River Thames (which is joined by the Loddon and therefore accessible from The Moorings) with Henley-on-Thames being home to the famous Henley Royal Regatta. There are many excellent walking trails along the River Thames, River Loddon and St Patrick's Stream. There are some excellent schools in the area including; Eton College, St George's School at Ascot, Reading Bluecoats School, Rupert House School in Henley, Papplewick School, Shiplake College, The Oratory, Queen Annes in Caversham, The Dolphin School in Hurst, Lambrook and Wellington College to name a few.
