Wargrave Road, Henley-On-Thames, Oxon, RG9
£550,000
Description
A fantastic self-contained River Thames leisure plot which measures approx. 100 feet in depth and 39 feet in width at the riverside and benefits from residential mooring permission. By separate negotiation there is a fabulous modern ‘Bluefield’ houseboat for sale moored to the river bank providing 2 bedrooms, a reception room with kitchen and a shower room. Please ask for further details.
DESCRIPTION
Ondine is a peaceful leisure plot on the Thames with a fantastic 2 bedroom house boat available by separate negotiation. The plot has mains power, water and has a sophisticated water treatment plant which returns waste to the river as clean water. The plot is under a 1 miles walk from the centre of Henley.
The plot itself is 100ft deep and 39ft wide at the riverside and benefits from residential mooring permission. Post war, there was a desperate shortage of housing and many of these amenity plots became temporary or permanent housing for families. Latterly they have either morphed into permanent homes with the necessary planning permission granted or have remained as part of the green belt with leisure cabins.
The houseboat is perfect for those seeking additional interior living space with the 310 sq.ft area divided into open plan living / kitchen / dining area, 1 or 2 bedrooms, walk in storage cupboard and a fully compliant bathroom with walk in shower, w.c, wash hand basin and towel radiator.
The interior has a unique design which features painted tongue and groove wood. The fully fitted kitchen comes with a Butler's sink and bespoke kitchen cupboards with brass cleats as handles, built in hob, combi oven and a fridge. The spacious living area has space for a sofa bed, meaning this houseboat can sleep up to 6 people.
The opening windows in the living area and the bedroom and writing room have bug blinds in addition to the black out blinds
There a 2 composite decks at each end of the houseboat, perfect for al fresco dining and watching boats sail by. A river gate was added to the downstream deck to enable access to a boat moored alongside or for paddleboarding or swim ladder access. There are three posts on the quay heading which enable the houseboat to rise and fall at will during flood conditions.
Whilst you could wander to the town centre in minutes, and check out the markets, grab a coffee or even visit the cinema – you’re also far enough out of the town to be backed by miles of countryside, with walks wiggling their way through patchwork fields, and woods at every turn.
Roughly a mile from the houseboat to the edge of the Chiltern Hills AONB, Henley-on-Thames is also right on the border of 324 square miles of wild to explore. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in green, Chiltern Hills AONB is one of the most wooded landscapes in England, with masses of wildlife to spot darting through the trees or dotted about by the chalk streams that run through it.
When you’re not exploring all there is to find here, and there is plenty, you’ll be retiring back to the houseboat for some incredible downtime. Take to the water if you have a paddleboard or canoe and explore the river as it winds London-ward or back towards Reading, spotting life on the riverbanks.
If you’re looking for peace and quiet, then enjoy cooking up delights in the galley, to enjoy on the deck as life trickles past. Next door to the bedroom, there’s a writing room, to finally finish that novel you’re working on, or the book you’ve had on the nightstand for months.
When the sun begins to set, and casts dazzling orange across the river, retire to the private garden with a glass of something chilled and light the fire-pit as the boats float by.
The Houseboat benefits from an air source heat pump providing air-conditioning and heating.
The garden has a sophisticated water treatment plant which returns waste to the river as clean water. There is mains electricity.
Agent note: we are aware of other plots along the Wargrave Road that have obtained permission for a structure on the site. There was previously a summer house on the plot. All enquiries should be directed to Wokingham Borough Council planning department.
Ondine is currently available for short lets via Canopy & Stars.
