Description

Originally two cottages, River Lodge enjoys an enviable position in the heart of picturesque Denham Village, located about 17 miles from central London and less than half a mile walking distance of the Elizabeth Line at Denham station. The gardens and grounds are a real feature of the property, with a variety of outbuildings and extending to just over two and a half acres.

The front door opens into a large reception hall with a cloakroom and a staircase to the first floor.
Bi-fold doors open into a conservatory, with underfloor heating, two ceiling lanterns and affording fabulous views over the garden with bi-fold doors on to the outside terrace area. The conservatory leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, a generous space and well equipped with an excellent range of units, wood and granite worktops and integrated appliances. An island unit gives further storage and there is ample room for a breakfast table. A formal dining room with built-in cabinetry lies just off the kitchen. Tucked away off the reception hall is an impressive study, with an extensive range of built-in shelving and a desk area. Wide pocket doors from the reception hall lead through to the impressive drawing room, a perfect entertaining space with feature panelling and a spiral staircase leading up to a mezzanine gallery. Beyond this room is a further sitting room, fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, guest cloakroom, utility & boot room. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room. This area is self-contained with its own entrance and would be ideal as a guest suite, for multigenerational living or staff.

The main staircase off the reception hall leads up to a family shower room and three further double bedrooms, all with built-in storage. The principal bedroom is of a good size with a walk-in wardrobe and large en suite bath/shower room. In addition is the dramatic mezzanine gallery, overlooking the drawing room, offering a fabulous versatile space and ideal as a library/reading room.

Set back from the road the gardens wrap around the property with a large driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a car port and garage with a room above. There are large areas of lawn, interspersed with a variety of trees with beds and borders giving colour.
