Explore the Georgian home for sale on the River Thames

There aren’t many places for sale that reside on their own private island in England’s longest river, but this magnificent property is exactly that.

Nestled at the eastern tip of Pharaoh’s Island, this beautifully secluded Georgian home can be found on a narrow wedge of land in the heart of the River Thames and is only accessible via boat.

The five-bedroom property offers remarkable riverside views, while its grounds occupy half an acre of perfectly pruned lawns as well as an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub.

The property has also been home to 1960s film stars Ian Hendry and Janet Munroe and was featured in two John Boorman semi-autobiographical films – Hope and Glory in 1987 and more recently Queen and Country in 2014.

On the market for £2.25 million, this home boasts amazing entertaining spaces, not to mention a two-bedroom guesthouse for friends and family to enjoy.

But outside is where this place comes to life. The 90ft private mooring is a heavenly slice of tranquillity, accompanied by a sheltered decking area perfect for barbecues and al fresco dining.

Pharaoh’s Island itself is a private island that accommodates a community of just 23 homes.

Rightmove’s property expert Miles Shipside said: “When we talk about quirky homes, this is exactly the sort of thing that we mean. It’s a collector’s item for property fanatics – how many people can say they actually live on the River Thames? But apart from its unique positing and wonderful views, the house has a stunning façade and is a testament to Georgian architecture.”

This property is listed for sale with Jackson-Stops.
