One of the finest houses and plots to grace the banks of the River Thames

Description

This substantial detached period house, which has been a much-loved family home to the current owners since 2008, would make the ideal home for a growing family. Warneford is situated on a plot of just under an acre (0.884 acres) with beautifully maintained terraced gardens running down to the River Thames, including a private mooring for a boat of up to 70ft.

The house has elegant reception rooms, as well as a number of generously proportioned bedrooms spread over the first and second floors. The impressive sweeping driveway, with a fountain in the centre, provides an eye-catching approach to the property as well as offering secure off street parking for a number of cars. In addition, the garage can accommodate up to two cars and also houses a games room which is currently home to a full size snooker table. A large, discreetly positioned workshop is also positioned to the front boundary.

On entering the property the delightful mosaic floored lobby leads into a spectacular period winter garden to the right, that is not only a beautiful aesthetic space for garden lovers but a wonderful additional reception space where you can enjoy the delights of the garden from inside. The lobby also gives onto the beautiful oak panelled reception hallway, providing a most graceful entrance and featuring a particularly handsome staircase with a striking personally designed stained-glass window. The gorgeous drawing room has an elaborately moulded Adam’s style ceiling and fireplace, and French windows leading onto a delightful terrace with spectacular river views. Both the study and dining room are also oak panelled and the dual aspect study has both a stained-glass window and views out over the garden. The spacious family kitchen has a Gaggenau range and opens into a large games room which could be used as a playroom/family room.
In addition, on the ground floor, there is second study/playroom, laundry, original pantry, numerous cloakroom cupboards and storage, and in the basement there is a full head-height cellar. On the first floor there are four large bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC, whilst on the second floor, which is accessed via another staircase, there are three further bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen - therefore perfectly set up for for guests, staff or older children seeking independence.

To the side of the house, the magnificent 167ft manicured garden has an exceptional selection of mature trees and plants, including a Monkey Puzzle and Eucalyptus tree. The garden terrace leads onto a large lawn, which stretches down to the river, where there is a private mooring and Japanese-style summer house.

Location

Warneford forms part of this prime conservation area within just a few hundred metres of Hampton Wick mainline station, providing a direct train service into London Waterloo.

Hampton Wick also offers a quaint array of local shops for day to day requirements whilst just over Kingston Bridge (within approximately half a mile) the more extensive shopping amenities are available with many of the major retail outlets evident.

Local schools, both private and state, enjoy an excellent reputation, as do the many and varied local sport clubs, including the much acclaimed Lensbury.

The commuter is further served by access onto the A308 (within approximately three quarters of a mile) which in turn adjoins the A3, thereby providing access into central London and the City. The A316 is also within easy reach and adjoins the M3 at Sunbury or Central London in the other direction, via the A4. The M3 in turn adjoins the M25 Motorway, connecting Gatwick and Heathrow international airports.
