A house that was built along Reading’s stretch of the River Thames is currently on the market for £2.5m.

The four-bedroom and four-bathroom property, which is a freehold, was built in 2008 with a ‘bespoke design’ and has been regularly looked after in the last 16 years.

Standing on stilts, the house has been designed to take in the very best of the views up and down the river and across the open countryside directly opposite.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with all the principal rooms enjoying river views.

The property was initially listed for a lot more, but was reduced to the current price in April of this year.

Being looked after by Robinson Sherston, a segment of its advert on Right Move reads: “A particularly fine feature is the large kitchen diner which was refitted by the current owners.

“The room has 180 degree river views and the design and units are by Charles Yorke, which have been arranged to enjoy the views and create a practical kitchen with a large island with high quality integrated appliances including a Wolf range oven and Sub Zero fridge freezer and wine fridge.

“There is plenty of room for the dining area which is riverside and perfectly captures the vibe.

“Off the kitchen is the utility /prep room which also has direct access down to the generous garaging.

Upstairs, there are four double bedroom suites, two on either side, connected by a visually striking galleried landing which stands over the central dining hall.

“Each bedroom has floor to ceiling glazed doors with "Juliet" balconies.

“The principal and guest suites both overlook the river with commanding views.”

On the outside, it reads: “On the river side is the mooring area and deck, with steps up to the entertainment deck that runs along the length of the house.

“The two areas combine to ensure the joys of river life are literally on your doorstep. The house faces west, thus ensuring that the evening sunsets can be enjoyed, and there is sun on the garden all day.”
