Summary - CHERRY EYOT LODDON DRIVE WARGRAVE READING RG10 8HL
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Architectural waterside living with private moorings and expansive grounds.
Five bedrooms with panoramic river views and three balcony bedrooms
Cherry Eyot is a striking modernist residence set on an exceptionally private two‑acre river plot, offering uninterrupted views where St Patrick’s Stream meets the River Loddon. The award‑winning design by John Pardey is elevated to maximise light and panorama, and a recent £500k refurbishment has renewed exterior cedar and slate cladding, installed underfloor heating, electric blinds, new bathrooms, a bespoke kitchen and three new moorings. The principal living spaces flow onto teak balconies and terraces for true indoor/outdoor entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged to take advantage of the water views: five bedrooms all overlook the river and three open onto a balcony. Living rooms include an open fireplace and log burner; useful ground‑floor storage, a wine cellar and utility spaces add practical support. The property benefits from modern comforts including a new electrical system, sophisticated lighting and a full garden irrigation system after comprehensive landscaping.
This is a rare riverside opportunity for buyers seeking a modern, sculptural home with direct river access and substantial outdoor amenity. That appeal is balanced by material considerations: the site is in a high flood‑risk zone, the property uses oil‑fired heating and relies on private water and drainage, and council tax is high. Prospective purchasers should factor flood mitigation and insurance costs into ongoing ownership budgets.
Access is along a private road with automated gates and a sweeping driveway, yet the location retains good connectivity: Wargrave and Twyford offer local shops and rail links to London; Henley is nearby for schooling and leisure. The house presents scope for sympathetic adaptation subject to planning, but the recent high‑spec renovation means it can be enjoyed immediately by a family seeking distinctive riverside living.
