An immaculately presented, high specification riverside home with in a highly coveted position. Private river frontage, mooring, and a large quadruple garage.

Description In a truly exceptional setting within the village of Cookham Dean, Moonraker is a stunning, architecturally designed and highly individual residence with gardens on the river Thames.

The property was built in 2017 by a renowned local developer and has been significantly updated over the years, inside and out, to create this stylish, high specification home with no expense spared.

The contemporary house has a thoroughly modern design, with high ceilings, large windows and a use of clean lines to further highlight the sense of light and space, with all the floors connected by a spiral staircase.

Internally the standard of finish is immaculate and the house is fitted with all the expected modern conveniences, including underfloor heating throughout and a security system with an alarm and CCTV.

The house is in a wonderfully private position, with magnificent views over its own gardens, the river and the Gibraltar Islands and farmland beyond, and there is excellent access to local footpaths and bridleways on Winter Hill and the surrounding protected National Trust land.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and extends to about 3400 sq ft, with the main reception rooms on the ground floor comprising a large drawing room, an inviting reception hall and an expansive kitchen/dining room.

The entire rear wall is lined with bifold doors opening to the garden, creating a fabulously light feel throughout.

Within the kitchen there is attractive cabinetry, fitted appliances and a stunning view across the rear garden.

At basement level there is a home cinema, playroom, gym and sauna with shower facilities.

The bedrooms are located together on the first floor and comprise a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room, with the remaining four bedrooms all en suite with built-in storage.

All of the bedrooms have a beautiful rear aspect towards the river and have access to a balcony. Moonraker is tucked away in a very secluded position on a private no-through lane.

Though the views to the rear over the river Thames and beyond are spectacular, the house feels exceptionally well screened from the front and sides via mature trees and hedging, with no neighbours overlooking the house or gardens.

To the front, a gated entrance opens to a large driveway and a gravel terrace which wraps around the front of the house; a separate gated entrance on the lane opens to a further driveway and a detached garage, which is large enough to be used as a workshop – for the car enthusiast, the garage also features a kitchenette with wine cooler, a WC and a lift.

The gardens extend from the rear of the house and have been beautifully landscaped, creating areas of lawn, well stocked flowerbeds and borders, a kitchen garden with raised beds and a greenhouse and a number of different seating areas for entertaining alfresco in the warmer months.

The gardens lead down to the water’s edge where there is a further seating area with a firepit and a private mooring ideal for a personal craft for exploring the river – the ideal setting for enjoying sunsets over the river.
