Brick-built Thames bungalow with 50ft mooring, refurbishment potential and high flood risk..
50ft main‑stream private mooring plus additional inlet mooring
A rare riverside bungalow on Pharaohs Island with direct frontage to the River Thames and a 50ft main‑stream mooring — ideal for someone seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave waterside life. The single‑storey brick property (approx. 911 sq ft) offers a large sitting room, conservatory facing the river, two bedrooms, bathroom and utility. The plot is compact but optimised for river use, with a paved quay, lawned area and mature screening.
The house requires renovation throughout, so it will suit a buyer prepared to modernise interiors and external finishes. There is scope to extend subject to planning (STPP), which may create additional living space or improved river‑facing accommodation. Services include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful practical positives for everyday use.
Important practical considerations: the property sits on a private, boat‑access island and is only reachable by water; neighbouring homes are close and the garden is modest. Flood risk is high at this riverside location — buyers should obtain specialist flood and insurance advice. The community of 23 homes and central green offers a strong social element and an authentic riverside lifestyle that's hard to replicate.
For buyers seeking a unique riverside home or a refurbishment project with development potential, this freehold bungalow offers direct water access, established mooring and the chance to create a bespoke Thameside retreat. It will particularly suit downsizers or purchasers wanting a second/holiday home with quick river access, subject to understanding the renovation needs and flood implications.
