Sansome & George Tilehurst - A rare opportunity to acquire a unique detached residence located on the river Thames with private mooring and fishing rights.

Tucked away along a tranquil stretch of the River Thames, this characterful home offers a truly unique lifestyle. With direct river access and a private mooring at the end of your garden, you can step straight onto your boat and explore the beauty of the Thames at your leisure.
The house itself is full of charm and potential – a rare gem that simply must be seen to be appreciated. While it would benefit from some modernisation, the setting is truly unbeatable. The garden is nothing short of spectacular – a lush, peaceful escape with uninterrupted views across the water.
Homes like this seldom come to market. Whether you're dreaming of lazy summer days by the river, weekend boating adventures, or a once-in-a-lifetime project to create your perfect riverside home, this is a chance not to be missed.

Scenic walks to Pangbourne village hosting a wealth of independent shops and businesses, frequent bus services to Reading town centre and Tilehurst railway station, with links to central London and Oxford, are all minutes away. The village of Purley benefits from an outstanding Church of England primary school, popular Mad Duck café, two social clubs, St Marys Church, community barn and excellent recreational facilitates including local tennis, cricket and bowls clubs.

This fine elevated home comprises entrance hall, family bathroom, shower room, inner hall, living room, kitchen, dining room, utility and three good sized bedrooms. The property features UPVC double glazing, gas radiator central heating, boarded loft area, water softener and solar panels which serve the hot water system.

Beneath the main living accommodation it offers versatile space including a sizeable store room, workshop/office, utility area, wash room, shower room, family room and a good sized garden room with direct access onto a fabulous patio and generous sized garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with various flower and shrub borders, enclosed by wood panelled fencing and a low level wall with twin gates, leading to the river bank (included in the sale however, on a separate title). The property has the added advantage of private mooring and fishing rights.

To the front there is a double width driveway with gated side access, leading to an enclosed paved patio area.
