20 Cariad Court
Occupying the top floor of Cariad Court, Apartment 20 is accessed via an elegant communal entrance serving all apartments. A welcoming L-shaped reception hall provides a natural flow throughout the home, with all principal rooms accessed from this central space.
The well-appointed kitchen enjoys a pleasant front aspect and is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry and integrated appliances. The impressive sitting/dining room is the principal reception space, where large sliding doors open onto a private balcony, perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking views across the beautifully landscaped gardens, the River Thames and the Thames Valley beyond, extending to the wooded National Trust hills on the Berkshire side of the river.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom with separate shower, while the second double
bedroom also enjoys delightful river views. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside
Cariad Court is approached via a private entrance from Cleeve Road, leading through beautifully maintained grounds to the residents’ parking areas, including both extensive surface parking and additional underground parking.
Set within approximately four acres of magnificent landscaped gardens and grounds, the development occupies an elevated position some 100 feet above the River Thames, commanding spectacular west-facing views across the river, water meadows and the rolling Berkshire Downs beyond.
Originally created for Cariad House, a distinguished Tudor-style country residence built for the Earl of Shrewsbury during the late Victorian period, the gardens retain much of their historic character. Expansive lawns, elegant stone terraces, meandering pathways, ornamental rockeries and mature specimen trees combine to create an exceptional parkland setting, offering residents a rare sense of privacy, tranquillity and grandeur in one of the area’s most desirable riverside locations.
