Chauntry, Chauntry Road, Maidenhead, SL6 1TR

Description Set along the Bray reach of the River Thames, this handsome Edwardian house occupies one of a small run of distinguished riverside homes, where long lawns lead down to the water’s edge and private jetties line the bank.

Built in 1908 and forming part of the Maidenhead Riverside conservation area, Little Fishery House combines period character with a rare sense of scale and setting.

Extending to approximately 6,899 sq ft, the house is approached via a generous forecourt with access to a double garage and carport.

The façade is typical of its era, with gabled rooflines, tall chimneys and a balanced symmetry that gives way to well-proportioned interiors arranged across three floors.

The ground floor is centred around a broad reception hall, from which a series of principal rooms unfold.

Several of the reception spaces have been carefully arranged to take full advantage of the setting, with large windows and doors oriented towards the gardens and the Thames beyond.

As a result, the outlook is a constant presence throughout the main living areas, drawing light deep into the plan and creating a strong visual connection between the interiors and the riverside landscape.

The kitchen and breakfast room overlook the water and lawn, while a formal dining room, study and further ancillary spaces provide flexibility for both entertaining and day-to-day family life.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged with a similar sense of proportion.

The principal bedroom suite enjoys an elevated outlook across the gardens to the Thames, and is accompanied by a dressing area and ensuite bathroom.

A number of further bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, offering up to ten in total, alongside several bathrooms and additional rooms that can be adapted for guests, staff or workspace.

The gardens are a defining feature of the house. At the rear, a wide stretch of lawn leads directly to the river, where a private jetty allows immediate access to the Thames.

The setting captures the character of this stretch of water, where boats pass slowly and the view shifts throughout the day.

Mature trees and established planting frame the plot, creating privacy while preserving the openness of the riverside aspect.

Little Fishery House is positioned on Chauntry Road, a particularly desirable address within Bray, known for its collection of substantial period houses and direct river frontage.

The area offers a balance of country and connectivity, with Maidenhead station providing fast services into London via the Elizabeth Line, and convenient access to the M4 and Heathrow.
