A truly unique opportunity to acquire this exceptional riverside home, enviably positioned on the banks of the River Thames in the sought-after town of Bourne End. With the rare luxury of its own private mooring and uninterrupted panoramic views up and down the river, as well as across the open fields opposite, this property represents riverside living at its very best.
From the comfort of your own home, you can watch the ever-changing scenery of river life: swans gliding gracefully by, wildlife on the water, and walkers meandering along the Thames Path; a setting that offers tranquillity, beauty and charm in equal measure.
The house itself presents an exciting canvas for the new owner. Currently a much-loved and very comfortable home, it also offers immense potential to modernise and create a bespoke residence tailored to individual style and taste.
Accommodation is well-proportioned throughout, comprising three generous bedrooms with ample built-in wardrobes, a family bathroom, separate shower room and cloakroom. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive open-plan living and dining area to the rear, designed to make the most of the breathtaking river backdrop, with the kitchen conveniently adjoining this space.
Practicality meets potential outside. The property benefits from a large garage and even larger car port, together with a private internal courtyard garden. To the rear, the principal garden opens directly from the living space, with the option to create a raised seating terrace to further enhance the views. Steps lead down to a substantial entertaining patio, flowing onto manicured lawns that sweep down to the river’s edge, culminating in a private mooring.
This is a rare chance to secure a property in such a coveted waterside position, sold with no onward chain, offering both immediate comfort and exciting scope for future development.
