A beautiful family home blending luxury design, natural materials, and flexible living, tucked away within a secluded mature plot complete with a private mooring on the River Thames a short walk from the property
Set along a private lane with access to the river and its own mooring, this is a substantial and meticulously rebuilt and extended home offering space, privacy and a genuine shift away from city life while remaining well connected. The house has been rebuilt from the ground up and carefully designed to create a layout that works equally well for family life and entertaining, with well proportioned rooms and a natural flow between the main living areas and the garden. At the centre of the house is a large kitchen and dining space, designed as the focal point of the home. It connects directly to the main reception rooms and opens onto a large south facing rear terrace, which catches the sun throughout the day and provides a natural setting for outdoor dining and evenings in the warmer months. The principal rooms are bright and open, with large windows and doors framing views of the garden and drawing in plenty of natural light.
The accommodation extends to over 6,800 sq ft, arranged across two floors, with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The principal suite is well proportioned, with views over the garden, along with a generous en suite and dressing area. A separate annexe provides additional flexibility, whether for guests, extended family or as a more independent living or working space.
The gardens are private and well established, with a strong sense of seclusion. The south facing terrace sits at the heart of the outdoor space, while access to the river and a private mooring provide a rare addition and open up a different way to enjoy the setting, particularly in the warmer months. An approximately 850 sq ft gym provides a highly flexible space with potential for alternative uses or division, with doors opening onto the garden. Ample parking and the private lane setting all add to the sense of space and privacy. Burcot is a picturesque riverside village with its own award winning gastro pub, The Chequers, which also offers boutique rooms and acts as a social and culinary focal point for the community.

The next steps...
1
Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
