5 bedroom house

The property enjoys an attractive location within the village and has wonderful gardens which adjoin the River Thames.

The property is believed to date from the early 17th century and was remodelled and restored in 1890 and sympathetically extended in the 1960s. Internally there is accommodation over two floors and there is considerable period detail with an Inglenook fireplace, wooden floors and exposed beams. The thatch was replaced in 2015, all the bathrooms have been updated and the present owners have carried out ongoing decorative maintenance.

The front door opens into the dining room with an inglenook fireplace and there are double doors to the kitchen/breakfast room which is well fitted with a range of wall and base units. Off the kitchen is the utility room with a door to the outside. From the hall/dining room, there are steps down to the drawing room with an open fireplace and two pairs of French doors to the garden. From the dining room, there is an inner hall with a secondary kitchen and steps down to the sitting room/study with fitted bookshelves on either side of the fireplace and windows to both front and rear. There is also a WC on this floor.

There are two separate staircases to the first floor with the main stairs off the dining room leading to the landing with the main bedroom with en suite bathroom at the rear and overlooking the garden. There are two further bedrooms on this side with a family bathroom. The second stairs rise from the inner hall and lead to the landing where there are two bedrooms with a bathroom.

The gardens are most attractive and lie to the rear and slope gently down from the terrace. From the terrace, there are lovely views and it makes an ideal outside dining area. There are steps down to the formal gardens with lawn, summer house (with electricity ) and well-stocked herbaceous borders together with a range of specimen trees. Leaving the formal garden there is a stream with a footbridge and the water meadows are beyond leading down to the river.
