Features and description
- Freehold
An exquisite riverside residence on the banks of the Thames.
Water Lodge is a stunning property set on a prestigious stretch of water between Dorchester-on-Thames and Abingdon. The property has been completely remodelled in the last six years to create an idyllic riverside hideaway set in grounds of just under two acres with a sun terrace, heated swimming pool and direct river access via a private mooring. Approached by its own private lane the house sits centrally within generous and beautifully tended gardens. The house has been transformed to create opulent and contemporary accommodation with an excellent balance of light and spacious living over two floors. The centrepiece to the ground floor is a wonderful open plan kitchen that leads straight out to the south westerly terrace with the swimming pool and garden beyond. The kitchen is flanked by a dining room and living room with two ground floor bedrooms in the north wing, one with en suite and walk-in cupboard/dressing room, and a study and utility room adjoining the double garage with potential for additional living space, leading to a double garage. On the first floor is an exceptional main bedroom with en suite bathroom, dressing room and balcony with glass balustrade overlooking the pool and gardens and the river and fields beyond. There is also another bedroom with en suite on this floor.
The pool area has been finished with natural stone that matches beautifully with the pool and pool house, Although on the river, the house is very private in an elevated position, screened by a spinney of mature trees set back from the bank, in effect creating a riverside garden with lawn running the width of the stretch and enjoying a well tended pontoon for mooring a substantial boat, A formal garden set back from the waters edge has complete privacy from any river traffic. On the opposite bank is the Thames Path so with the small boat it is possible to cross the river for a glorious walk in the countryside.

Dorchester-on-Thames is a desirable riverside side settlement within five miles of Abingdon and Wallingford. A pretty and leafy area with The Chequers public house within a quarter of a mile and Dorchester-on-Thames within a mile in the other direction for a wider range of amenities including several public houses and a convenience store. There is an excellent Primary School in Clifton Hampden, a doctors’ surgery, and tennis and cricket clubs on the more than generous sports field that is run by the community. Communications from Burcot are excellent with Didcot Parkway Station within six miles for London Paddington (fast train forty minutes), and the M40 (J7) nine miles by road. Abingdon and Wallingford are immensely charming riverside market towns and provide a much wider range of amenities. Schooling is excellent in the area with Abingdon The Manor, St Helen and St Katharine, Cothill, and Chandlings accessible locally and the wide range of reputable Oxford Schools also in easy reach. The property is also within the catchment area of The European School at Culham.<br/><br/>
