A truly remarkable home with lovely river views, studio flat & swimming pool offering an outstanding blend of architectural grandeur, historic charm and contemporary style.
The Tower is a striking period residence that seamlessly combines architectural grandeur with bold contemporary design. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers elegant accommodation rich in character, with impressive ceiling heights, ornate cornicing, decorative fireplaces and an abundance of natural light.
The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive, providing exceptional spaces for both entertaining and everyday living. A magnificent drawing room features an intricately carved fireplace, stunning period detailing and large windows overlooking the gardens, while a further sitting room enjoys direct access to the terrace and offers a wonderfully bright and relaxing environment.
The dining room is a distinctive and atmospheric space, surrounded by bespoke floor to ceiling bookcases crafted in rich dark wood. Elegant proportions, a statement chandelier and library style surroundings create a sophisticated setting for formal dining and entertaining.
A dramatic central staircase forms the heart of the house, rising through impressive galleried landings with white balustrades, vibrant red carpeting and striking patterned tiled flooring below.
The kitchen and breakfast room is both stylish and practical, featuring contemporary cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a central island. Roof lights and extensive glazing flood the room with natural light, while doors open directly onto the terrace, creating an effortless connection between the house and garden.
The first floor provides a superb principal bedroom suite with river views and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, complemented by four further bedrooms (some with river views) and a well appointed family bathroom. One of the most distinctive bedrooms is located within the tower itself and double doors opening onto an elegant balcony, creating a truly unique and characterful retreat. Above the garage, and accessed via external steps from the rear terrace, is a versatile first floor studio apartment offering excellent ancillary accommodation.
The mature gardens provide a private and picturesque setting, with established trees, colourful planting, expansive lawns and generous terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beautifully enclosed and wonderfully tranquil, they provide the perfect backdrop to this exceptional family home.

Properties with this level of individuality and architectural character rarely come to the market, and The Tower is undoubtedly one of the most memorable homes I have visited. I was particularly captivated by the seamless blend of period elegance and contemporary design, together with the enchanting gardens and unique tower bedroom, all of which combine to create a truly exceptional family residence.
