Description

Situated on the exclusive Harleyford gated development, within close proximity of the estate’s amenities, this detached log cabin is the ideal ‘lock up and leave’ holiday home.

The estate provides 24-hour security and is accessed via a private gated entrance. Internally the house is well presented in a modern, Scandinavian-influenced style, with light and airy rooms and a modern finish throughout.

The lodge is entered into a hallway with a study area; this leads to the two good-size double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has an en suite shower room. There is also a bathroom with a P-shaped bath. Upstairs, the impressive good-size living area has a high, vaulted ceiling and opens through a high glazed gable end, to the rear balcony looking towards the Thames Valley. The living area is open plan to the kitchen which is well equipped with plenty of storage and a number of built-in appliances.

Outside
The house has access to the extensive 160-acre grounds of the estate, parts of which can be attributed to the 18th-century landscape designer Capability Brown. The estate sits between the Temple and Hurley locks on the river Thames, with excellent walks along the riverbanks and through the estate’s own marina. The house has two allocated parking spaces and there are additional visitor spaces nearby. A private terrace and a first-floor balcony provide space for outdoor dining and offer beautiful views over the river.
