It is constructed of brick with a timber frame and wooden casement windows under a tile roof. The construction of the house provides a high degree of flexibility allowing the buyer to adapt the layout to suit their requirements. The current layout includes a workshop and integral garage which could easily be adapted to provide further accommodation and there is potential to enlarge the property subject to planning permission. The accommodation which is enhanced by exposed timbers is well laid out and includes a hall and two good sized reception rooms including a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and wood burner. On the first floor a part galleried landing gives access to 6 bedrooms which includes a good sized principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a study/occasional bedroom which is accessed from the guest bedroom.
Garden and Grounds Set back from the road, the house is approached through a brick entrance and 5 bar gate opening onto a gravel driveway with grass verges and established trees on either side. Behind the house is a wide lawn with shrubs and trees and an outdoor barbecue area and heated swimming pool enclosed by an evergreen hedge. Beyond the garden is an area of former paddock which is partly planted with young trees and a wide grass path which leads to the river where the land drops approximately 15’ to 20’ down into an attractive riverside garden with an 85’ frontage onto the River Thames.
