Extensive hard landscaping works have recently been completed to further integrate the house with its setting, using natural materials throughout. These include a new brick retaining wall defining the tiered garden, Sapele decking at ground level adjoining the house, and limestone paving extending to the rear, side, and front elevations to create a variety of seating areas that offer privacy and enjoy sunlight throughout the day. A bespoke galvanised steel pergola supports an established grapevine, forming a beautifully shaded outdoor dining area during the warmer months.
* Soft landscaping commenced last season, with an emphasis on native planting to encourage biodiversity and reflect the riverside environment.

The large integral garage (5.0m x 5.8m) is fitted with an electric door, Belfast sink, power, and lighting, and has direct internal access to the house.
* The property was comprehensively re-designed in 2020 and has since been further enhanced by the current owners, including the landscaping of the gardens in accordance with the original architect’s specification. Throughout the design process, there was a clear intention to retain and celebrate as much of the original 1960s house as possible. At the heart of the home is a striking Sapele open-tread staircase, which forms the centrepiece of the design and from which the home’s distinctive and individual spaces are accessed.

Heating is provided via a combination of underfloor heating and individually controlled cast-iron radiators, with hot water supplied by a thermal store powered by a high-efficiency boiler and supplemented by 3kW of high-efficiency solar thermal panels.
