Summary - THORNBIE HOUSE DONKEY LANE BOURNE END SL8 5RR
8 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious family home with private gardens and triple garage.
Direct river frontage with private 130 ft mooring
Thornbie House is a rare Victorian riverside residence set on a very large, private plot with direct Thames frontage and a 130 ft mooring. The house offers enormous family-friendly space across three storeys — roughly 7,441 sq ft — with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and multiple reception rooms that take full advantage of garden and river views. Period features such as wood floors, cast-iron fireplaces, original bells and a covered loggia give the house strong character while later updates leave it liveable now with scope for further modernisation.
The layout suits multi-generational living or frequent guests: a self-contained studio/office above the triple garage provides independent accommodation, while an expansive gated driveway and abundant parking serve household and visitor needs. The property adjoins the Thames Path for quick pedestrian access to the station and local green spaces, and village amenities and schools are within easy reach — good for commuting and family life.
Important practical points: the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which affects insurance and flood protection requirements. Energy efficiency is modest (EPC rating E) and broadband speeds are reported slow. Council tax is very expensive. These are material considerations for running costs and any refurbishment planning. Overall, this is a distinctive riverside family home with considerable space, privacy and scope to update to current standards.
