View through an open white-framed doorway into a sitting room with a wooden mantelpiece fireplace, a black cast-iron stove insert, a beige leather sofa with patterned cushions, a small wooden stool, and a framed vintage New Yorker magazine cover poster on a dark blue-grey wall. A trio of angled mirrors hangs above the mantel. The foreground hallway has the same patterned tile floor seen elsewhere in the property, lit by warm low sunlight casting long shadows.

Character

A Victorian house, made over in 2023

The house is handsomely presented throughout and has a lovely, warm, friendly and cultured atmosphere. The views from all the principal rooms are superb and look down upon this idyllic sweep of river.

2 sitting rooms, Tv room and a boot room make up the body of the ground floor fed by the heart of the house, the kitchen. A large dining room has doors which open out to a large dining patio with a BBQ.

Second view of a living room with slate-blue walls, featuring a salmon-pink painted cast-iron fireplace with mantel mirror and an Art Deco fan-shaped mirror above it, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV on a glass stand, leather sofas, a wooden coffee table on a mustard rug, and two windows including a bay window with garden views and a red umbrella outside.

A considerable games room has been added complete with pool table, table football and a 46' screen ensuring the young of all ages have somewhere to play.

Floor by floor

How the house is laid out

The shared rooms are on the ground floor. The bedrooms are above them, over two more.

Ground floor

The kitchen, and everything that feeds off it

Inside the front door is the hall, and off it run the kitchen, the laundry room, the dining room, the cloakroom, the snug and the first sitting room. The dining room opens onto the patio through sliding doors.

  • Two sitting rooms, each with an open fire
  • A snug with a shelf of books and board games
  • A dining room that comfortably seats 20
  • A laundry room with two larder fridges, washing machine and tumble dryer
Galley-style kitchen with green walls, dark navy cabinetry and a wooden countertop. A central island holds a gas hob with overhead extractor hood; terracotta tiled flooring runs the length of the room. A back door with glass panel and adjacent window let in daylight at the far end, with a 'Fire exit' sign on the door. Open wooden shelving on the right holds rows of wine glasses, and a coffee machine and toaster sit on a counter in the foreground left.
Dining room set up for a meal with two tables covered in white linen, red leather chairs, wine glasses and white crockery, small floral centrepieces, an archway leading to another room, framed artwork on the walls, and a dark landscape painting near a window.
First floor

Four bedrooms and the family bathroom

Twelve steps up from the hall. Four bedrooms on this floor, a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, and the way out to the hot tub.

  • A twin with its own bathroom
  • A double, a king, and a family room with four single beds
  • Family bathroom with bath, shower cubicle, toilet and basin
  • The door out to the hot tub

The games room

Added for the ones who never sit down

A pool and snooker table, table football and a big screen, in a room of its own at the top of the house.

  • Pool and snooker
  • Table football
  • Big screen
  • Its own seating area
A snug seating area with a dark brown leather three-seat sofa scattered with patterned cushions, positioned in front of a window with a roller blind, looking out onto a stone wall with greenery. To the right is a pool table with red and yellow balls and cues mounted on the wall. Two framed coastal photographs hang above the sofa, a mirror is visible further right, and a wooden coffee table with magazines sits in the foreground on a multicoloured patterned rug over wood flooring. A green fire exit sign and red fire alarm call point are mounted by the window.
