Tumbling Bay, Walton-on-thames, Surrey

We are pleased to offer for sale this intriguing and rarely available two-bedroom chalet, Elsdor, forming part of the unique Tumbling Bay Association on a private, boat-access-only island in the River Thames. Established in 1927 following the purchase of the upstream section of Tumbling Bay Island, the Association now comprises just 11 individual chalets, with residents enjoying an effective share of the freehold and communal use of the island grounds whilst each property occupies its own private plot.

Elsdor is in need of refurbishment and offers accommodation arranged over a single floor comprising a reception room, kitchen area, bathroom and two bedrooms. The chalet is surrounded by attractive gardens with access to both the mainstream Thames, where there is an approximately 55ft mooring, and the creek to the rear, creating an exceptional setting for boating, relaxation and enjoying the river. Access is via a short boat hop from the Walton-on-Thames bank, providing a wonderful sense of privacy, seclusion and tranquillity. Properties on the island are seldom offered for sale, often remaining within the same families for many years, making this an ideal opportunity to create a unique weekend retreat, holiday home or peaceful waterside workspace.

Despite its secluded setting, Walton-on-Thames is conveniently close by, offering a comprehensive range of shops, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities along the High Street, together with the substantial Heart Shopping Centre, providing an abundance of retail and leisure outlets and restaurants. Walton-on-Thames mainline station provides regular services to London Waterloo, with an average journey of approximately 30–35 minutes, making this an unusually accessible riverside escape.

Due to the anticipated level of interest, an Open Event will be held on Saturday 3rd October 2026.
