Exceptional Two-Storey Penthouse Apartment in Historic Riverside Setting

Occupying the upper floors of a historic riverside building in a peaceful rural setting, this exceptional two-storey penthouse apartment has been comprehensively renovated to create a remarkable home of immense character and contemporary style.

Blending striking original features with elegant modern finishes, the apartment offers beautifully light and versatile accommodation with panoramic views across the river and surrounding countryside. Exposed timber beams, painted masonry walls and vaulted ceilings retain the building’s heritage and charm, while carefully considered design and luxurious fittings provide outstanding comfort throughout.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space — an impressive and atmospheric room filled with natural light from its south and west-facing aspects. The newly installed kitchen features integrated appliances and refined brass detailing, while a rotating wood-burning stove creates a striking focal point within the living area.

The lower floor also provides two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying far-reaching river views, together with a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring underfloor heating, a marble double vanity unit and a large double rainfall shower.

Above, the bedroom suite forms a truly unique retreat, complete with a freestanding bath positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook across the water and surrounding countryside. An adjoining en-suite shower room completes this accommodation.

An open mezzanine overlooks the living area below and offers a wonderfully versatile additional reception space, ideal for entertaining, relaxing or home working. Flooded with natural light from two west-facing Velux roof balcony windows, the mezzanine enjoys spectacular sunset views, while an adjoining study nook with a further balcony window provides an inspiring work-from-home environment.

With central heating throughout, underfloor heating to the bath and shower rooms, and the warmth of a wood-burning stove, the apartment combines year-round comfort with timeless character.

Externally, the property benefits from communal riverside gardens together with a private garage and residents’ parking.

A rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive home combining historic charm, luxurious modern living and breathtaking riverside surroundings.
