The Boathouses is a quietly composed collection of eight contemporary riverside homes in Taplow, with just four remaining. Positioned directly on the banks of the River Thames, each house is oriented to draw in long views of the water, where light shifts throughout the day and the landscape becomes part of the architecture. The houses are defined by a restrained material palette, with natural textures and soft tones creating calm, balanced interiors. Open-plan kitchens and living spaces extend outwards to private gardens, each with its own mooring, allowing a direct and immediate relationship with the river. Full-height glazing frames the outlook, while generous proportions give a sense of ease and flow. Internally, the specification is considered; wide oak flooring runs throughout, complemented by underfloor heating and discreetly integrated smart home technology via the SELECT system. Air-source heat pumps and intelligent lighting reflect a focus on long-term efficiency as much as comfort. Bedrooms are arranged to make the most of the setting, many with elevated views, while the overall layout prioritises both openness and privacy. Outside, landscaped gardens lead gently to the water’s edge, creating a natural threshold between home and river. Life here is defined as much by rhythm as by design. Early mornings on the terrace, paddleboarding at dusk, or setting off by boat towards Marlow or Windsor. The river becomes part of the everyday. Despite its sense of seclusion, Taplow remains well connected. Maidenhead is a short drive away, now transformed with a wide range of amenities, while the Elizabeth Line offers direct access into central London in under 40 minutes. *Images shown are of the show home (Plot 6).
