Off the hallway is also the kitchen and separate dining room which has direct river views. The kitchen has been recently re-modelled with an array of base ad wall wooden units and a garden facing breakfast area. Leading off the kitchen is the utility room and back door.
Retuning to the galleried hallway is access to the bedrooms. The principal suite takes full advantage of the river views and offers an en suite bathroom and dressing room. There are a further 3 bedrooms (2 en suite) and a family shower room. In addition there is a study overlooking the front garden.
Outside the front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees offering privacy. To the rear is the delightful river garden with a raised terrace off the house and a mooring. The boathouse has easy river access and a slipway on to the river. There is also a workshop and two garages.
