An exquisite riverside residence occupying a discrete and generous plot, within just 8.5 miles of Hyde Park Corner
Description
Beautifully designed in the Georgian style, Ferry House replaced a dower house which was demolished after suffering a direct hit from a doodlebug during World War II. The missile passed through the branches of the copper beech which was supposed to have been cut down as it was thought it would never regain its shape. However, it was never felled and still stands proud to this day. The house was rebuilt in 1953 by The Duke of Northumberland and subsequently bought by his brother-in-law, Lord Gilmour.
Nestling idyllically on this most scenic stretch of The River Thames Ferry House is set within stunning walled gardens and is a perfect example of 'country living in town', with Hyde Park Corner a mere 8.5 miles away. As well as the principal garden (that forms part of the freehold) the property enjoys use of a large parcel of additional land that is held on a separate lease and includes stables, a menage, woodlands and a swimming pool.
Having been the subject of a recent renovation the property provides tastefully presented and laterally configured accommodation that lends the house equally well to both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. Furthermore the layout and separate entrances provide superbly for live in staff and generational living. Of particular note is the striking reception hallway with its gorgeous galleried staircase. The beautifully appointed and bespoke kitchen has a country feel and features blue marble worktops and a La Cornue range cooker. There are also four reception rooms on the ground floor. Whilst to the first floor there are seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, with the two principal suites having large dedicated dressing rooms (there is also an additional bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor).
What really completes this wonderful family home are the stunning riverside gardens that wrap around it, affording excellent privacy and incredible aspects. Within the garden there are many areas that are ideal for alfresco entertaining, including a fabulous three storey tree house. There is also a garage and secure gated parking for several cars.
Location
Enviably perched between The River Thames and historic Syon Park, Ferry House occupies a genuinely semi-rural setting within the charming village of Old Isleworth. There is easy access onto the A316 and A4, connecting onto the M3 and M4 motorways respectively. Local amenities cater well for day to day requirements whilst St Margarets Village and Richmond town are approximately 2 and 3 miles away respectively. Richmond is internationally renowned for its sophisticated array of shops and restaurants, (with a large representation by many of the major retail outlets) in addition to a quaint array of antique, boutique and more specialist stores that are mainly located in a series of enchanting cobbled alleyways that lead off of picturesque Richmond Green. Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.
