If you like the wind in the willows, this is the property for you

Situated in an idyllic spot, Edgewood, is a remarkable boathouse conversion with a 71ft wet dock on the Thames. The interior has been beautifully and cleverly refurbished to provide comfortable and contemporary living with the most superb river views.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom – all of which have been decorated in beautiful creams and shades of pastel blue in a style reminiscent of clapboard housing in New England or Scandinavia. Downstairs is far more modern and contemporary. A minimalist master bedroom with bath and plenty of storage space, a separate shower room and an extremely funky kitchen/dining/family room complete the look.

This is a property which makes one feel like one is living on a boat. A feeling which is perhaps intensified by the outdoor decked area, the far left hand corner of which features a weeping willow. On the water, the deck is an idyllic spot in which to watch the world float by.

With the combination of the wet dock, decked outdoor area and the weeping willow, one could be easily forgiven for imagining oneself as Ratty in Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows. A feeling which is particularly apt as it is claimed that Grahame took his inspiration for his classic novel from this Thameside village and the Quarry Wood in adjoining Bisham.

The property features reception hall, kitchen/dining/reception room, utility room, cloakroom, master bedroom with stand alone bath, 2/3 further bedrooms, playroom/bedroom 4, family bathroom, shower room, 27 ft decked terrace, 71 ft wet dock and garden.
