A palatial property on the riverfront, complete with ballroom and cinema

This Riverside Manor occupies a prime riverfront location in the sought-after commuter village of Bourne End in Buckinghamshire (UK) and can provide a truly spectacular property. The Manor was designed by renowned architects EPR in London alongside William Bertram in Bath; it was constructed and finished by the owner to an exacting specification, albeit one that would thrill many a luxury-seeker.

The main entrance hall is bathed in light and provides a dramatic way to arrive

The property sits in just over 4 acres of landscaped grounds and feels palatial from the moment you step inside, courtesy of 4.8m high ceilings and great swarths of light rushing in from large windows on all sides. There are five main reception rooms on the ground floor, from a formal dining room to a more casual and open kitchen-diner for family meals and informal entertaining.

The kitchen is superbly finished and provides all the latest conveniences for an ambitious home-chef

There are a selection of sitting and family rooms, as well as a generously-sized study, to ensure the ground floor has ample space for guests and family members to mingle or find their solitude. Many of these rooms boast the superb view of the Thames, which flows just outside this Manor.

Ground floors rooms have interconnecting doors for alternating between open-plan living and privacy

Moving upstairs, the house has seven double bedrooms, the most spectacular of which is the master suite which comes complete with a dressing room and a large, well-provisioned bathroom – and did we mention those river views?

The master bedroom has dual aspect views and ample space

All bedrooms come with en-suite facilities and all bathrooms are elegant, stylish and equipped with the highest quality of fittings and fixtures.

A choice of rain shower or bath, the latter with a river view for a luxurious soak

The Manor grounds have unbeatable leisure and recreaction facilities. There is an indoor pool with a gym and spa, a cinema room, a games room, and a ballroom with space to seat 250 guests. Outside in the grounds there is a tennis court and a stylish waterfront boat house for keeping your vessel.

To complete the property, the grounds also house two staff cottages to allow hired help to live on site and a guest apartment, useful accommodation for visiting relatives or friends who prefer privacy.

Laid back luxury for the cinema experience in the privacy of your own home

The location of this property is ideal for those seeking easy access to London; it is close to the M4 and M40 motorways and a few miles from village railway stations with links to London. Heathrow airport is around 30 minutes drive away, while attractive locations such as Henley, Bray (where Heston Blummenthal’s The Fat Duck and the Waterside Inn are located) and Windsor are within easy reach. Eton College is around 25 minutes drive, although there are many other private schools in the vicinity.
