Detached house for sale in River Bank, Thames Ditton KT7

River Haven is a stunning ‘New England’ style home situated on one of the area’s most coveted private roads, which runs parallel to the Thames in the picturesque village of Thames Ditton – just 20 minutes from Kingston via boat service. The house has been extensively remodelled/extended and improved by the current owners over the years allowing for an abundance of light and space, with immaculately styled interiors complementing the elegant riverside setting. There’s a large workshop under the house, a carport, ample parking and riverside gardens, the latter with a private mooring for a boat or maybe two.

The interior is presented to a very high standard, featuring dark woods, heritage colours and vibrant patterns to create a contemporary and stylish residence. The rooms feel fantastically light and bright, with large windows affording excellent natural light as well as framing beautiful views over the river and beyond. There’s a nautical feeling throughout which nods to its stunning waterside setting. The house features underfloor heating throughout, air conditioning, a security intercom system, and contemporary bathrooms.
The layout is ideally suited to entertaining, with the main living space totally open plan and leading out onto the rear terrace to extend the space in the warmer months. The room is informally ‘zoned’, with a standout kitchen and dining area, a vast seating area and a bar discreetly tucked around the corner. There’s also a walk-in pantry and an adjoining laundry room for keeping laundry machines tucked away. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with en suite bathroom, which could equally function as a snug if desired.
Upstairs there are two further bedrooms – both also en suite – which open onto an amazing terrace at the rear of the house which has stunning views over the water and Hampton Court Golf Club. A mezzanine floor above the principal bedroom is currently used as a study, and there is ample eaves space for storage. At basement level there is a large workshop and additional storage areas.

Outside

The landscaped rear garden backs onto the river, a decking terrace leading down to a parcel of lawn, a patio, a slipway, and a private mooring where there is space for a leisure craft. Adjoining the mooring there is an elevated decking with magnificent views up and down the river and across to the opposite bank, which forms the grounds of Hampton Court Golf Club. To the front there is a gravel driveway, a neat front garden and a single car port.
