The Old Coach House stands as a magnificent contemporary dwelling nestled on the banks of the river Thames, situated in the heart of Bray. This exquisite home was custom-built by its current owners in 2018. Its design boasts clean, sleek lines and expansive full-height windows that capitalise on the breathtaking views of the river. The meticulously landscaped gardens gracefully lead down to the extensive riverfront, featuring a private boathouse with wet dock.

Access to the property is through electric gates, which open onto a spacious driveway with ample parking space for multiple cars and access to the garage. On entry, the hallway which features a double-height ceiling in part, provides an unobstructed view through the house to the river beyond. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting room presents a remarkable wall of full-height windows with sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the garden, making the most of the incredible views. The contemporary kitchen is equipped with a wide array of cabinets, integrated appliances, and a generous central island. A bespoke display shelving unit separates the dining and sitting areas, creating a flexible reception space that offers direct outdoor access.
