About This Property

A unique riverside home built in 1991 of traditional brick construction with the living accommodation extending to 1273 ft2, set over two floors with an additional under croft garage/boathouse of 664 ft2. The design takes full advantage of its stunning south westerly facing position fronting onto this picturesque stretch of the river Thames with panoramic views over the convergence of the Desborough Cut and the meander of the river. This is complimented by a delightful semi-rural outlook over the meadow to the rear.
The beautiful home has been extensively modernised and improved to offer a versatile layout. The principal accommodation is set on the ground floor with a full width riverside lounge that has a semi vaulted ceiling giving a greater sense of space and three sets of patio doors flood the room with natural light and maximise the views. For those chilly winter evenings there is a recessed fireplace and a dining area adjoins the open plan kitchen. The contemporary style kitchen with integrated quality appliances is fitted with a range of white gloss fronted units with co-ordinating white granite worktops that enhance the clean uncluttered appearance. There are 3 double bedrooms on this level the main having a refitted ensuite bathroom. In addition, there is a beautifully appointed shower room.

To the first floor is the master suite with an excellent range of wardrobes with space behind into the eaves and a bank of drawers. Adjacent is a further bathroom attractively fitted with a modern 3-piece suite including a freestanding bath.

Under the house is a garage/boathouse/utility/workshop with power, lighting, plumbing for laundry appliance, a new gas central heating boiler installed in January 2024. There is a roller garage door to the rear and a flood proof door opens onto the riverside garden. Further flood prevention measures have been installed including a sump pump, removeable barriers and raising the garden level.

The south westerly backing garden is a real suntrap. It has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance and is perfect for entertaining with different levels of decking, natural and artificial lawns and a picket fence that opens onto the quay that provides 36’mainstream mooring with a pontoon mooring and riser posts. The side boundaries are well screened by mature shrubs and a palm tree. A gated side access leads to the front.
