Rare chance to live on an island on the River Thames
A rare opportunity to purchase a New England-style home on a River Thames island has just arisen.
Hamhaugh Island, an idyllic island accessed by a private footpath over Shepperton Lock and Weir, is at the southernmost point of the River Thames. Being just one of 46 properties on the island, the bungalow boasts three bedrooms and bathrooms, two reception rooms, private mooring, and direct river views.
The whole space is flooded with natural light. Highlights include a spacious vaulted reception room with sliding doors leading out to the decking, Velux-style skylights, a well-equipped utility room, and a galley kitchen with an abundance of cupboard space and modern integrated appliances. It might have a petite footprint, but it benefits from a light and bright scheme to give an airy feel.
Towards the back of the property sits three good-sized bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The principle suite also has its own en-suite, complete with striking Fired Earth tiles and plenty of storage space. A separate study which could be used as a single bedroom or nursery completes this side of the home.
Picket fences and and picture-perfect flowers are special features of the garden. Inspired by coastal landscaping, you'll find beautiful mature rose and peony plants, a lawned area, pergola adorned with vines offering shade, and a paved path which leads down to the private tiled 55 foot mooring.
'The opportunity to own and live on the islands of the River Thames don't present themselves all too often and so we are delighted to be bringing this three-bed property on Hamhaugh Island to the market,' says Simon Ashwell, head of Savills Weybridge office.
'Taking on a New England-style, this home has been beautifully renovated and offers a bright and airy kitchen diner and well equipped kitchen, ideal for entertaining and hosting friends and family.'
This property is currently on the market for £1,200,000 with Knight Frank.
