Embankment, Putney, London, SW15

Waterfront living at its finest. What a view!

Description

Waterfront living at its absolute best: A superbly located, brilliantly upgraded lateral corner house (3,174 sq ft) giving superb uninterrupted Thames views.

The house is set well back from Putney Embankment and approached by a raised front terrace, giving both privacy and elevation; enhancing the fabulous outlook and views.

Putney Embankment is renowned for its many boat houses and rowing clubs and this property is surely the perfect vantage point for the first stretch of the Oxford and Cambridge boat race.

The front door leads into the main reception area of the house. This is split level and provides a large sitting area, the focal point of which is a pretty fireplace. This in turn leads onto a superb kitchen / breakfast / dining space with a beautifully designed bespoke kitchen and a good sized island. This area is very much the hub of the house and is brilliantly designed for family living / entertaining on a grand scale.

There is also a good sized utility, a well laid out plant room and a downstairs cloak / shower room which also serves the south facing study / bedroom as required. The large concertina glass doors therefrom give easy access onto a private terraced area, which is open to both south and west, making it the ideal spot for sunworshippers.

The lower ground floor gym is a good size and will no doubt appeal to keen rowers and athletes alike, but this space could also work as well as a snug/games area for teenagers.

The first floor is given over to the large, elegant and dual aspect river facing reception room, with access to a pretty balcony and affording sensational Thames views.

The sumptuous principal bedroom suite has superb en suite facilities including a fitted dressing room and large bathroom.

There is also a cleverly positioned discreet study area, with pocket doors that bring privacy, if required; also direct access to the large west facing first floor terrace with its stupendous views of the river and beyond.

The second floor provides three further good sized double bedrooms, all served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

In short: A beautifully balanced and presented lateral house with some of the best views we have seen over the Thames and westward beyond. The south, west and north facing terraces give a wonderful variety of light and differing vantage points over this fabulous west Putney waterfront enclave.

Location
