6-bedroom house for rent in Burtenshaw Road, Thames Ditton, Surrey, KT7
Huf Haus - the makers of premium prefabricated homes - are celebrated for their striking architectural design and strong sustainability credentials. With only around 300 examples across the UK, opportunities to rent one are exceedingly rare. Rarer still is a property as enviably located as this, set in the charming Surrey village of Thames Ditton with sweeping views of the River Thames and the added luxury of private mooring.
Expanses of glass not only define the home’s sleek, contemporary aesthetic but also flood its generous 4,913 sq ft of living space with natural light. Outside, a private heated swimming pool and beautifully landscaped, lawned gardens that stretch down to the river bank further reinforce this home’s harmonious connection with nature.

Who would have imagined such tranquillity in a pocket of South London?

Designed to reimagine the traditional townhouse, every element of its 3,213 sq ft layout has been thoughtfully conceived to maximise the views, with dramatic double-height spaces that draw daylight deep into the heart of the home.
Its design is as intelligent as it is striking, integrating state-of-the-art technology and luxury amenities including a private gym and cinema room.
