Summary - 20 River Gardens, Purley On Thames RG8 8BX
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Thames-front detached home with mooring, balcony views and large plot — flood risk applies.
Over 30ft private Thames frontage with mooring and fishing rights
A rare riverside detached home with more than 30ft of private Thames frontage, mooring and fishing rights — ideal for boat owners and anyone who prizes uninterrupted water views. The first-floor open-plan living, kitchen and dining room is designed to make the most of the panorama, with bi-fold doors opening onto a wide balcony for summer dining. Practical touches include a garage, large storage room, utility area and Megaflo pressured hot water system.
Set in a quiet, affluent stretch of Purley-on-Thames, the house sits on a substantial plot with front parking and a tandem integral garage. The garden slopes to a reinforced concrete river frontage supplied with water and electricity for the mooring. Three bedrooms (two doubles and a large single currently used as a study) and an ensuite give flexible family or guest accommodation, while good transport links bring Tilehurst and Pangbourne stations within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is a 1970s modern build and some ground-floor finishes are cement-rendered with tiled floors; electrics on the ground floor are arranged at waist height. There is a high flood risk associated with riverside living here — buyers should factor in insurance, flood mitigation and possible future resilience works. Overall, this is a special riverside opportunity offering lifestyle appeal and strong river access, best suited to those who value waterfront living and accept the responsibilities that come with it.
