Ferry house is a uniquely positioned riverside home situated on the picturesque banks of the River Thames. The house is west facing to enjoy sunny days and evenings overlooking the river. Along with its own boat house, it has all the amenities for riverside living. The main section of the house is built of brick under a clay tiled roof with some timber additions all adding to its immense character. Originally built around 1870, the house has been beautifully refurbished by the current owner, but maintains many original features, such as the impressive fireplaces and leaded light windows. The garden is elevated making the property perfectly safe from river flooding. Ferry House is one of the few river-side houses with a cellar (also never known to flood). All the principal reception rooms, apart from the dining room, enjoy views of the river at the bottom of the garden. As you enter the house, you are greeted by a grand entrance hallway with a charming original carved oak staircase. The drawing room is home to a beautiful White Carrera marble fireplace, oak strip flooring and corniced ceiling. The sitting room is equally impressive with a carved wooden fire surround and painted half panelling on the walls. The kitchen / breakfast room is bright and spacious and includes a seating area, AGA and a full range of built-in appliances, with access to the rear decked terrace and gardens. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys wonderful views down the garden and of the river. It also has access to a sizeable balcony and includes a dressing room, bathroom and shower room. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, one with an appealing curved bay window and separate bathroom. A large unconverted loft above the second bedroom provides potential for extra storage or an additional room (STP). The second floor comprises two bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen, accessible via stairs from the first-floor landing. This floor can also be accessed separately from the ground floor courtyard to the front of the house via a spiral staircase and can also be used as a self-contained one or two bedroom apartment.
