26, Hythe End Road, Staines-upon-thames, TW19 5AR

Short let This three-bedroom detached house sits on the banks of the River Thames in Wraysbury, reached across a bridge that frames the river view from the moment you arrive.

The contemporary design maximises natural light and the connection to the water, and the layout has been shaped around daily life rather than convention, with the open-plan ground floor, river views and outdoor space working as a single connected environment.

The ground floor centres on a kitchen, dining and reception room extending to over 35 feet.

The kitchen island sits with direct views across the river, where herons, swans and other wildlife are a daily presence through the seasons.

This is the natural focal point of the house, equally suited to a quiet weekday evening and to hosting friends and family at the weekend.

Smart lighting is controllable throughout via app, Alexa or Google. Hidden storage has been built into every room, and underfloor heating runs throughout.

Running costs are low, and the property was designed for easy day-to-day maintenance Beyond the main living area, the ground floor includes a third double bedroom, a dedicated study or home office, a utility room and a guest cloakroom.

The separate study is a practical asset for anyone working from home, removing the need to repurpose a bedroom.

On the first floor, the principal suite has a dedicated dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom.

The second bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking the surrounding landscape, a feature that adds real value to the room rather than serving as a token addition.

Both first-floor bedrooms are doubles. Outside, the sun terrace and private plunge pool sit within an entertaining garden with a generous decked area.

Through the warmer months, the garden and river become the centre of daily life, with the decked area and terrace providing a natural setting for dining and entertaining outdoors.

National Trust fields are almost on the doorstep, and the river itself opens up a way of life that goes well beyond the property boundary.

This is a home that feels closer to a permanent holiday than a daily commute.
