Emma Vanstone-Booth of Phillip Booth comments: “Our clients on the ‘Reading Riviera’ tell us that there are many pleasures to waterside living. The views are unique and special, and vary with the time of the day, and from season-to-season. Mist rising from the water on a cold day is replaced by the energy of the warmer months, with vocal waterfowl, the dart of the elusive kingfisher, fish rising, and dragonflies and damsel-flies dancing. River users provide generous people-watching, and opportunities to join in, whether in rowing crews or on pleasure boats, canoes, kayaks or standup paddle-boards. If you’re really lucky you might also spot a Mermaid – well, a Henley Mermaid, the local open-water swimming and river quality campaigners www.henleymermaids.com.”
She continues: “This lifestyle is beneficial too, with copious scientific studies concluding that substantial mental and physical wellbeing is to be gained from living near open water. And your social life will take on a new vigour, as you become ‘that’ friend with a riverside haven.”
“With proximity to popular villages and excellent transport links into London via the mainline railway and the Elizabeth Line, these properties offer spacious accommodation in secluded locations with private river frontage, modern mooring facilities and generous gardens.”
