A rare two-storey houseboat occupying a prime residential mooring on Taggs Island, offering direct views down the River Thames and the convenience of private vehicular access. The property provides generous living space across two floors with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and approximately 1,155 sq ft of accommodation — unusual scale for a floating home and suited to those seeking a distinctive riverside lifestyle.
Outside, terraces and an adjacent garden give room for planting, entertaining and easy river access. The island’s private bridge and communal sunken garden enhance privacy and community living. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the surrounding neighbourhood is very affluent with good local schools nearby.
Important practical matters: the mooring and garden are leasehold with roughly 50 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders will decline to lend on properties with this term — purchasers should check finance options and survey requirements before proceeding. The property is in a high flood-risk location; suitable insurance and flood-resilience measures will be necessary.
There is an island maintenance charge of about £150 per month (approximately £1,800 per year) covering bridge and communal upkeep. The houseboat appears in generally good, modern style but buyers should allow for houseboat-specific maintenance and potential updates to systems over time.
