Shooters Hill, Pangbourne, Berkshire

The Old Boathouse is a modern four-bedroom terraced house, in a picturesque and highly convenient location yards away from the village’s amenities, including its station.

The living accommodation is arranged across four beautifully appointed levels, with an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room on the ground level, which opens directly onto the riverside garden via floor to ceiling sliding glass doors. There is space for a large family dining table, while the kitchen itself has stylish modern units in white, a central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, including dual ovens, an induction hob and dual wine coolers. Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room for further storage and appliances, as well as a shower room and a toilet.

On the first floor there is a further comfortable drawing room, which offers unrivalled views of the riverside from its sliding glass doors, which open onto a magnificent roof terrace. There are two well-presented bedrooms on the first floor, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room.

Occupying the second floor is a luxurious principal bedroom, which features sliding glass doors opening to a Juliet balcony, offering spectacular views of the tranquil riverside surroundings. The principal suite also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a generously proportioned en suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower. Finally there is a good-sized and bright study with velux window. On the third floor there is a gym or bonus room, which could equally be used as a further overspill bedroom if required, with a skylight overhead allowing plenty of natural light.

At the front of the property, the shared driveway and parking area provides parking space for up to two vehicles, as well as to the garage for home storage. At the rear, the river garden is ideal for al fresco dining, with an area of artificial turf lawn and steps down to the private river mooring, with its jetty. The garden is enclosed by fencing on both sides with raised planters adding a splash of colour. The first-floor roof terrace provides further space for al fresco dining, or simply relaxing and enjoying views of this peaceful and calm stretch of river, and across the fields beyond.
