    About this property

    • Set in an elevated position with commanding views over the river and countryside beyond is this extraordinary property. Full planning permission is in place for a major extension and renovation of the lovely Arts and Crafts home, incorporating a detached annex and swimming pool.

      Set on a plot of about 3 acres, split between about 1.7 acres on the mainland with a further 1.3 acres on a beautiful private island in the river Thames. There is direct river frontage with a long mooring on both the mainland and island, providing the perfect space to enjoy the river Thames.

      Currently the handsome Arts and Craft house has a size of about 4,150 sqft, providing five bedrooms and three reception rooms, most of which have outstanding views to the rear. Consent has been granted for substantial extension and alteration, the project design and consent achieved by renowned architects Holland Green. Full details are available on request. Permissions and all building drawings to date (including internal fitout, M&E, etc) are available for the benefit of the buyer.

      Currently the house has been part-stripped internally with some of the groundworks commenced. A buyer may choose to carry on with the existing design or, perhaps, make alterations to suit their needs.
