The focal point is the original Victorian fireplace, which adds a sense of warmth and history to the space. A handy Cloakroom provides ample storage for coats, while a convenient ground floor WC adds practicality.

The Living Room is a glorious space designed for enjoying magnificent views. Two sets of large French doors open onto the Veranda, allowing light to flood into this grand room.

High ceilings and a feature fireplace enhance the sense of grandeur. The room is spacious enough to be divided into two zones by the furniture: one end serves as a sitting area, while the other functions as a Library/Music Room.

Leading off the Living Room, we are welcomed into a stunning contemporary Kitchen, a unique extension designed to maximize both light and views. The varying heights of the vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere.

The Kitchen has high-quality built-in appliances and ample storage, while a sleek granite worktop curves elegantly to form a practical breakfast bar. A nearby Utility Room keeps laundry out of sight and provides access to the garden.

The real showstopper is the fantastic Dining Area, nestled between two entire walls of glazing. This superb space is perfect for enjoying dinners with friends whilst taking full advantage of the home's unique position between river and countryside.

Ascend the traditional Staircase to the first floor, where four spacious Bedrooms, a Bathroom, and a WC await. Each Bedroom is generously sized, comfortably accommodating double or king-sized beds and ample wardrobe storage.

Large sash windows in Bedrooms 2 and 3 frame picturesque views of the river, while Bedrooms 4 and 5 offer equally enchanting verdant vistas of the Garden and surrounding woodland.

The Family Bathroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a unique layout that accommodates both a corner bath and an expansive walk-in shower.

The top floor houses a superb Principal Suite, featuring a fully glazed A-frame, stylish vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams that lend it a captivating charm. The eaves provide ample storage, while the Dressing Room and Ensuite Shower Room enhance the luxurious ambience.

We are drawn towards to the French doors leading to the covered Roof Terrace. Whether savouring a quiet morning coffee or enjoying an intimate evening under the stars, this private space is the perfect retreat to unwind and soak in the beauty of your unique surroundings.

The glorious garden offers a private oasis of tranquillity, perfectly complementing the beauty of the home. A full length decked Terrace provides the ideal spot for alfresco dining or relax with your guests as the sun sets on the characterful Veranda before retiring to the Living Room beyond it.

Winding pathways create an inviting journey through the garden's mature landscaping. A sheltered Lawn provides a perfect place for quiet reflection bordered by an abundance of shrubbery adding bursts of colour and texture.

This outdoor haven promises a sanctuary of peace and seclusion, just a stone's throw from the scenic creek from which the property takes its name.
