The Property
River Lodge enjoys a privileged position in the picturesque and historic Denham Village, a setting renowned for its timeless charm yet enviably close to London. Originating as two cottages, the home has evolved into a substantial and versatile country residence of over 5,900 sq. Ft., with elegant interiors and a wealth of character features.

The principal reception hall provides an immediate sense of scale and grandeur, with a cloakroom and staircase to the first floor. Wide pocket doors open to the magnificent drawing room, a superb entertaining space enhanced by feature panelling, a spiral staircase to a dramatic mezzanine gallery, and access to further reception rooms. A striking conservatory, with underfloor heating, ceiling lanterns, and bi-fold doors, flows seamlessly onto the terrace, offering panoramic views across the gardens.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous and sociable hub, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, wood and granite worktops, integrated appliances, and a central island, complemented by an adjoining formal dining room. A study with bespoke fitted cabinetry, a utility and boot room, and an additional sitting room with secondary kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom complete the ground floor. This latter wing is self-contained with its own entrance, making it ideal for multi-generational living, staff accommodation or guest use.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite impresses with its walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite bath/shower room. Three further double bedrooms, each with fitted storage, are served by a family shower room. The mezzanine gallery, overlooking the drawing room, provides a versatile retreat, perfect as a library or reading space. The self-contained wing also features two further bedrooms, one en suite.

Gardens & Grounds
The grounds are a true highlight of River Lodge, extending to just over two acres. Approached via a private driveway with ample parking, car port, and garaging with a room above, the property is enveloped by beautifully landscaped gardens, interspersed with mature trees and colourful borders.

The rear terrace creates a perfect setting for alfresco dining, while beyond lies an outdoor swimming pool with sun terrace, pool house and covered seating area. An enclosed tennis court further enhances the leisure amenities. The garden is bordered by the River Misbourne, a gentle chalk stream, with a charming wooden footbridge leading to an additional lawn adjoining a neighbouring paddock.

Location
River Lodge is ideally situated less than half a mile from Denham Station (Elizabeth Line and Chiltern Railways), offering connections into London Marylebone from just 19 minutes. Central London, Heathrow Airport, and the national motorway network are all easily accessible.

Denham itself is a quintessential English village with a collection of period inns, restaurants and country walks. Nearby Gerrards Cross provides a wider range of amenities, including boutiques, supermarkets, and an Everyman cinema. The area is well served by prestigious golf, tennis and sporting clubs, while Ascot, Windsor and Henley-on-Thames offer further recreational pursuits.

Schooling in the area is excellent, with highly regarded state and independent options, including Maltman’s Green, Thorpe House, Caldicott and Gayhurst.
