Exceptional Huf Haus in a prime riverside location, offering a fusion of contemporary high-end design, sustainability and contemporary elegance

Description

This exceptional Huf Haus, completed in 2011, offers an extraordinary fusion of high-end design, sustainability and contemporary elegance. Crafted to exacting standards with signature architectural precision, the home maximises natural light and delivers seamless connectivity between its striking interior and the surrounding landscaped gardens with river frontage.

Floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outdoors in, framing serene views and bathing the interiors in light. These are complemented by integrated automatic blinds, delivering convenience and privacy with a touch of luxury. Throughout the property there is ambient lighting and underfloor heating across both floors, powered by an air source heat pump, creating an atmosphere of comfort and refinement.

Stylish bespoke carpentry and custom storage solutions by Stil Art are seamlessly integrated throughout the living spaces, ensuring both functionality and visual harmony. A whole-house air circulation system discreetly delivers fresh air via floor vents, promoting year-round well-being and energy efficiency.

The bespoke Bulthaup kitchen is a true centrepiece of the home, incorporating high-end Miele appliances including a built-in coffee machine, microwave, oven, steamer, induction hob, two warming drawers, integrated Liebherr fridge freezers and a Gaggenau wine fridge, all framed by luxurious stone worktops.

The bathrooms are designed for indulgence, featuring premium fittings by Hans Grohe, elegant sanitary ware by Keramag and discreet concealed cistern systems by Geberit.

Enhancing the home's modern appeal is an intuitive smart home system that controls lighting, heating and electric blinds from touchscreen panels positioned throughout the property.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

Approached through elegant electric gates, the property reveals itself via an impressive sweeping driveway, set well back from the quiet lane and enveloped by beautifully secluded grounds. Nestled to the front on the left hand side is a lovely area of orchard featuring mature fruit trees including plum, apple, and cherry. On the other side of the drive is a detached double garage with a spacious store, ideal for secure storage or workshop use.

The landscaped gardens are nothing short of spectacular, masterfully designed by renowned landscape architect Andy Sturgeon, winner of 9 RHS Gold medals and 3 coveted ‘Best in Show’ awards at the Chelsea Flower Show. These exquisitely curated outdoor spaces offer year-round beauty, architectural planting, and tranquil zones for peaceful retreat or vibrant entertaining.

To the rear, the property enjoys stunning river frontage complete with a private mooring, perfect for boating enthusiasts and lovers of serene riverside living. There is a wonderful raised waterside platform close to the mooring which is suitable for entertaining and al fresco dining. Adjacent to the platform is a well-positioned summer house, complete with power supply, providing a versatile space for relaxation, work or additional entertaining.

A charming side pathway offers access via a private footbridge to Fishery Road and the picturesque village of Bray beyond, with delightful local amenities just a stroll away.
