An exceptional riverside penthouse offering almost 2,400 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, extensive terraces and stunning views of the river Thames

Description

Enjoying an enviable position close to the River Thames and offered to the market with no onward chain, this exceptional penthouse apartment occupies a sought-after setting within an exclusive development by Shanly Homes, completed in 2007.

Extending to almost 2,400 sq ft, the apartment is beautifully presented throughout, combining generous proportions with contemporary design. Extensive glazing draws in an abundance of natural light while framing attractive views across the river and surrounding greenery. High vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space and character, complemented by engineered wood flooring, stylish kitchen and bathroom suites, and excellent built-in storage throughout the reception room and all three bedrooms. Underfloor heating serves the apartment, while the principal bedroom further benefits from air conditioning. A particularly notable feature is the direct lift access into the private entrance hall.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, flowing from the entrance hall, with cloakroom and lift access, into the impressive reception room with balcony and adjoining dining area. A well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a third bedroom, currently utilised as a study, complete the principal living space. The principal bedroom suite features an en suite bathroom, while a second double bedroom also enjoys its own en suite facilities.

A standout feature of the property is the extensive outside space. A roof terrace is accessed from two bedrooms, while a further terrace is reached from both the principal bedroom and dining room. The reception room opens onto an additional balcony, providing a choice of spaces from which to enjoy the setting and river views. The development is surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaped gardens.

The apartment benefits from two allocated parking spaces beneath a carport within a secure gated parking area.
