Description
First floor
Approached via a picturesque, tree-lined gravel driveway, The Boathouse is a truly one-of-a-kind period home set directly on the banks of the River Thames, right beside Shillingford Bridge.
Inside, the open-plan living area is bright and welcoming, with a vaulted timber ceiling and exposed beams adding warmth and architectural interest.
The kitchen is fitted with a classic wooden cabinetry and sits comfortably within the open layout, flowing into both the sitting and dining areas to create an ideal space for entertaining.
Adding a distinctive artistic touch, the property features two bespoke murals painted by Ann Emmons in 2005, especially commissioned for the home.
There are three bedrooms, including two dual-aspect doubles flooded with natural light, all with built-in storage.
Altogether, the property offers a rare blend of charm, character and lifestyle, a peaceful riverside retreat with panoramic views, private mooring and inviting living spaces designed to celebrate its exceptional setting.

A bit of history on the home
The Boathouse is said to have a fascinating Royal connection. It is alleged that Frederick William Mortimer, the tailor, and his friend the Prince of Wales shared a close association with Lily Langtry and were known to frequent nearby Shillingford Court. Local lore suggests that Prince George would stay at The Boathouse during his visits to the area.
Outside
Externally, the property is rich in character, with an attractive brick and timber façade and an elevated first-floor living space designed to make the most of the outlook.
The covered balcony is a true highlight. This is a wonderfully atmospheric space framed by decorative timber arches which overlooks the river and historic stone bridge.
Expansive lawned gardens leading to a charming brick and paved riverfront terrace, an idyllic setting for relaxing or hosting.
Boasting with approximately 75 metres of private river frontage with its own mooring.
