Main image: Cook ham, Berkshire £7,200,000
Positioned High above the River Thames, this impressive and secluded, castellated period house dating from 1885, has expansive panoramic views, and incorporates a separate home office, ancillary staff accommodation and garaging, (totalling 7744 square feet - 719 m²). The main house, with six bedrooms, lies some 32 feet above the river, and has winding garden pathways leading down to a private 206ft (63m) river front and mooring. : The author of Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Graham famously wrote: "Believe me my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.": Kenneth was raised by his grandmother in Cookham Dean and may have taken his inspiration from stays at his family's boat house just along the reach from Gibraltar House. What is extraordinary about the design of this unique historic mansion is that all of the reception rooms and bedrooms have breath-taking views up and down the river Thames, a picture-perfect landscape of willows, reeds, and a gentle river rolling past. The panoramic views extend across to the distant hills beyond Marlow. (The London Broker)
