A splendid 3-bedroom detached house (see note 1), set on high ground in perhaps one of the most important residential private roads in the heart of this period Thameside village.

Nutshell Cottage is a unique contemporary property, combining the best of modern technology, yet harmonises with the stone, brick and natural golden oak used throughout. Large windows give masses of light to the interior and also wonderful views over the very pretty landscaped gardens created by the present owners.

The property and grounds can only be described as absolutely fabulous`, having undergone total reconstruction and redesign to both its interior and exterior in 2015. Enjoying not only tremendous security, but fantastic privacy, this is a lavish reconstruction created tastefully with care and loving detail, almost impossible to find.
