Old Wharf Cottage
Holiday Home Description
Beautiful thatched riverside cottage, named the 'Old Wharf Cottage' as once barges unloaded cargo of copper at the wharf, now the site of the outdoor heated swimming pool. A lovely circular layout adds to the 'flow' of the house where living rooms inter connect with the Arts and Craft style kitchen which has a gas fired Aga, electric cooker and adjoining dining area. Three new state of the art bathrooms have been installed with walk-in showers and large bath. Two are en-suite. It was originally built in 1903 in the Edwardian Era. The Arts and Crafts Movement between 1880 and 1910 influenced the owners many of them artists and sculptors themselves, and later arts and craft features were added including ornate plaster work around the bedroom cornice's,a coat of arms as you climb the oak staircase with carving depicted by aged red and green paints, much used by the Arts and Craft Movement-inspired by medieval colour and image seen in the works of the artist/designer William Morris.
3 Bathrooms (2 ensuite, 1 good sized family bathroom with deep bath) all with new state of the art walk-in rainforest showers.
5 Bedrooms: 3 double, 1 twin, 1 single room (extra futon bed available if required)
Notes: Sky Freeview and Broadband wifi available.
A Beamed Entrance Porch and Reception Hall welcome you to this wonderful holiday home; set in country cottage gardens with many old varieties of flowers such as hollyhock and roses, tulips and daffodiiles adorn the lawns in spring. The riverside lawns stretch down to the river patio near the waters edge. Inside there is a captains cabin recontructed from a ship bound for Australia with wonderful carved ships figureheads and 17th century beams used on the outside. The Old Wharf Cottage is ideally situated for easy access to London City Centre, Windsor and Heathrow.
