The property, dating from the 1970s, has been the subject of extensive improvement by the present owners to give high energy efficiency with solar panel and battery storage and the installation of a new boiler in 2021, replacement of most windows with modern double glazing, and remodelling to provide a roof lantern to the kitchen and open plan access into the dining room, both with patterned tiled flooring, with wide sliding doors on into the drawing room, so that the property can have a south-facing open plan area opening on to the terrace overlooking the river.
Principal rooms have attractive cornices and large doors with veneer inlay. The reception hall is imposing, with double timber front doors and a patterned wood block floor. The drawing room has a fireplace with a large log burning stove with recessed arched alcoves to either side. In addition to the open plan layout is a separate sitting room/ playroom/tv room.
The kitchen/breakfast room has an Aga with attractive tiled surround, painted kitchen units with timber worktops, brick cooker surround and island unit with granite worktop, opening to the conservatory currently used as a gym and enjoying the views over the river.
The property is well designed for working into later life living, with a principal bedroom suite on the ground floor, with fitted dressing room and en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower, and with double glazed doors to the south-facing terrace. Family bathroom and shower room has been updated with new sanitary ware and shower.
Outside
