Discreetly tucked away behind electric gates on one of Wraysbury’s most exclusive avenues, discover a riverside sanctuary where sleek design meets soul-soothing calm.
With its sleek, contemporary architecture, 20 Park Avenue is an inspiringly aspirational property. With uninterrupted views over the River Thames and Windsor Castle beyond, a heated swimming pool with swim-jet, outdoor kitchen, balcony terrace and of course a 75-foot private morning, this is a home that presents a spa-like exterior and sense of calm, but internally it is just as spectacular, embodying modern luxury and practicality.
A striking arrival
As you pass through the gated entrance, the tone is immediately set for peace and privacy. A sizeable forecourt provides plenty of parking for family and guests alike, while two carports and small garage store ensure there is ample room for both vehicles and life’s essentials.
As you step inside into the welcoming embrace of the entrance hall you are immediately struck by this triple-height, bright and airy space. A striking steel spiral staircase takes centre stage, an architectural feature that spirals elegantly upwards beneath statement industrial pendant lighting. Minimalist in feel but bold in presence, it sets the scene for the balance of style and serenity that pervades this entire home.
Feast your eyes
Flowing directly from the hallway, the main living space opens out - expansive, airy and designed around the ever-changing views of the River Thames beyond through the full-width bifold doors at the far end of the room.
Beautiful, tiled flooring keeps the space contemporary and cohesive, and thanks to the underfloor heating (which is present throughout the ground floor), it’s just as easy to create a cosy atmosphere when needed. Subtle zoning invites entertainment and allows for pockets of privacy. Wine and dine at the formal dining table, sitting to the left upon entry and perfectly positioned for slow breakfasts or long, conversation-filled suppers whilst taking in the spectacular views.
Meanwhile, the living-room area offers a space to relax and unwind after mealtimes, taking full advantage of those bifold doors and the elevated outlook over the garden, the river and Crown Estate-owned fields beyond.
To the right, the kitchen is the epitome of chic, pared back living. A large and sociable central island of white Corian provides plenty of preparation space, whilst beneath, wide, deep drawers provide accessible and abundant storage. There are also all the features you might expect in a house executed as well as this, such as wine fridges on each end of the island, Küppersbusch induction hob with in-island extractor, while the sink offers an instant boiling water tap.
Full height cabinetry, sleek and handleless, runs the length of the back wall, allowing the views to take centre-stage. Integrated appliances, including a built-in fridge and freezer, Küppersbusch ovens and coffee machine, keep everything streamlined and within easy reach, servicing your every culinary need.
Wine and dine
Savour the views during meal times at the built-in, diner-style seating booth, creating a natural, social hub for casual dining or evening chats. The Bifold doors open onto raised, composite deck, where glass balustrades preserve the views out over the garden, swimming pool and river below, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out.
Cinematic comfort
Back in the entrance hall, to the left, the home subtly shifts gear from relaxation to work and play. An expansive space in its own right, currently subdivided, serving in a multi-functional manner with a dedicated office space providing privacy and focus to the front - all tucked just far enough from the social heart of the home to maintain a comfortable separation between work-life and home-life.
Beyond, the cinema room dials down the pace. A projector, drop-down screen and built-in ceiling speakers bring movie nights to life, while a textured wall infuses character.
Airconditioning maintains an ambient temperature all year round, whilst bifold doors open from here to a covered loggia-style dining area on the composite decking, connecting the indoors to the poolside terrace beyond. A space that shifts effortlessly between private downtime and sociable evenings. As with all the main rooms in the home, the river outside is kept firmly in view.
Practical places
Just off the entrance hall, the utility space is designed for quiet efficiency. Fitted cabinetry conceals plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, while a stainless-steel sink and heated drying rails make light work of laundry, folding neatly away against the wall after use.
Everyday life is shaped by clean lines, considered detail, and quietly efficient design, perfectly exemplified in this practical area of the home, a dedicated zone that keeps the rest of the home effortlessly ordered.
Adjoining this, a generously sized cloakroom continues the calm, cohesive aesthetic. A contemporary vanity unit with basin sits alongside extensive built-in wardrobe storage, blending practicality with polished design – perfect for coats and shoes.
Finished in sleek white tones, the entire space feels neatly organised, never compromising on the minimal style that is felt in every corner of the home. There is also access to the plant room.
Sophisticated sanctuary
Returning to the entrance hall, ascend the spiral staircase, past the striking industrial-style pendant lighting, as the principal suite unfolds directly ahead of you - calm, elevated and perfectly private.
Dark-toned wood flooring flows throughout the first floor and from the top of the stairs, it draws your eye to the vast, full double-height glazed window that rises up in a right angle toward the ceiling, complete with electric blinds for full control. Built-in storage is seamlessly integrated along one wall, while on the opposite wall is a door to the first-floor balcony.
This bedroom is spacious and uncluttered, with air conditioning ensuring year-round comfort. Light pours in through those amazing windows offering uninterrupted views of the river. Across the fields, Windsor Castle lies just beyond the trees - a distant, storied presence beyond the River Thames, and a reminder of the incredible setting of this house.
Glass balustrades line the open staircase leading up to the mezzanine gym above - a space that overlooks both the principal bedroom and the entrance hall below. It’s a private retreat within a retreat, kept intentionally pared-back to let the views - and the stillness - take centre stage. Currently used a gym this space would also make a breath-taking snug, reading room or office.
With the remarkable views on display, you would be forgiven for the fact that as you entered the room, you passed on your left the beautiful walk-in wardrobe with automatic lighting, open shelving and plenty of hanging rails meaning everything has its place.
Opposite the walk-in wardrobe is the door to the 4-piece en suite. Step through to a large, spa-style en suite where twin wash basins sit atop slate-grey worktops, a walk-in shower is backed in soft grey tiling, and an extra-wide bathtub invites long, slow soaks. A roof lantern invites soft, natural light down from above, while a discreet door tucks away the WC for a clean lined, considered finish.
Serving your every sartorial need, this is a space designed to support the serenity of its surroundings.
Balcony views
From the principal suite, step out onto the balcony terrace - a quiet outdoor space designed for serene mornings and clear evenings soothed by the sound of the river below. With seating space for a morning coffee or a nightcap under the stars, soak up the serenity of the outdoors, with views that stretch across the water and into the trees beyond. The balcony can also be accessed from bedroom 2 which is where we will head next.
Versatile spaces
To the left of the stairs, flexibility can be found in bedroom 2. This is another large suite with a private sitting room / dressing room area overlooking the front of the home which could easily serve as a guest bedroom, home office, or teen retreat. Its position and proportions make this a quietly versatile addition to the upper floor.
The bedroom of bedroom 2 is along the internal hall of this suite and set at the back of the house overlooking the river. Spacious and serene, this is a restful retreat with a subtle, soporific feel. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage, while a dedicated dressing table is perfectly positioned for the natural light.
Bifold doors open directly onto the balcony terrace, shared with the principal suite. Currently arranged with a firepit and seating area, this elevated space captures soft river breezes and evening light - perfect for unwinding or entertaining beneath the open sky.
Separating the bedroom and it’s dressing room/sitting room (or bedroom 4) is the contemporary bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, along with built-in storage for streamlined living.
Sweet dreams
On the opposite side of the main landing, bedroom 3 offers a generous double layout with peaceful views to the front. Built-in storage ensures this room remains calm, open and practical, while a pocket door opens to a private en suite complete with walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and Velux window above for natural light and ventilation. This is a quiet, comfortable guest or family bedroom - well-proportioned, self-contained and totally tranquil.
Entertain, unwind and explore
You step out of the bifold doors from the main kitchen / living space onto a raised deck designed for alfresco dining and riverfront relaxation. Steps down to the garden lead to the low-maintenance and easy to clean artificial lawn.
In summer, make the most of the warm days and long, balmy evenings thanks to the outdoor kitchen and large pergola with pull-down sides and tilting roof – handy if the weather is less clement. Everything about this space feels tranquil, serene and perfect for making the most of the riverside location.
Begin the day with a swim in the heated, jet-flow swimming pool that allows you to train or unwind at your own pace.
To the far end of the garden, more glass balustrades frame the water’s edge, while a summer house, fitted with bifold doors looking out to the river and a large window overlooking the pool and garden, serves as a calm garden retreat, wonderful garden office, studio or guest space.
Beyond it all: a 75-foot mooring, private and ready to launch your next adventure on the water. The owners have created water-level access at points – ideal for stand-up paddle boarding or general water toys. There’s also a slipway with winch.
Extended living
Overlooking the side garden and accessed via sliding doors, the annexe offers self-contained living with the same sense of space and quiet sophistication found throughout the main home. It has also been built to be fully accessible with wider doorways and a lift connecting the two floors.
On the ground floor, a large, double-aspect, open-plan living room and kitchen creates an easy, welcoming environment, furnished with oven, hob, fridge and sink all neatly integrated. A useful understairs cupboard keeps day-to-day clutter out of sight, while a separate WC adds convenience for guests or visiting family. This room is also where the lift is located, emerging in the upstairs utility room.
Accessible for all
Whether taking the lift or staircase to the first floor, upstairs provides a double-aspect double bedroom drenched in light, with views to both sides and electric blinds. There is plenty of space for wardrobes and drawers and just outside on the landing is a vast store cupboard. Opposite the bedroom door is the utility room and just off here is the spacious bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, vanity unit with wash basin, and WC.
This is an amazing space and offers a totally self-contained property for older family members, grown-up children wanting independence, a live-in au pair or potentially even a rental property for income generation. This could be especially appealing given the close-proximity of Heathrow airport and the high number of crew needing short term accommodation when working in the local area.
