Shooters Hill, Pangbourne, Reading, Berkshire, RG8

Modern living offering a well-appointed riverside home in a sought-after location.

Description

4 Shooters Hill is an exceptional detached riverside residence, uniquely positioned on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of Pangbourne. Originally built as a boathouse, the property later became home to guitarist Jimmy Page during his years with The Yardbirds. It is widely believed that Led Zeppelin was conceived here in 1968 following a meeting with Robert Plant, giving this remarkable home a rare and fascinating place in musical history.

The house has recently undergone a top-to-bottom remodelling and refurbishment and is finished to the highest standard. From the moment you enter, the house is both stylish and welcoming. A generous reception hall leads into a stunning open plan sitting room with feature wood burner and beautiful handmade kitchen and hidden pantry, all finished with original solid oak flooring and framed by breath taking, uninterrupted views of the Thames and the wooded Chiltern escarpment. Floor to ceiling doors open onto a glass fronted balcony suspended above the water, a perfect spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply watching rowers and wildlife drift by.

The ground floor also includes a well-designed study, WC, shower room, pantry and practical storage, ensuring the home functions beautifully for modern living. Upstairs, the principal bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling enjoys panoramic river and country views, accompanied by a walk in dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom. A second bedroom, also with built in storage, benefits from its own en suite bathroom.

The lower ground floor offers an impressive range of leisure and lifestyle facilities. This level opens onto a lower deck with views across the Thames and features include an indoor heated swimming pool with swim machine, infra-red sauna, bar and kitchen area, shower room, utility room, air-conditioned gym/studio and a spectacular air-conditioned home cinema, along with two further bedrooms that provide excellent flexibility. The Lower Ground Floor has separate front access from the driveway.
