A rare and idyllic lifestyle opportunity. A charming 3 bedroom cottage on the Thames with 26 moorings, set in about 1.9 acres.
This delightful Grade II listed cottage, with glorious views, sits tucked away in an enviable position on an island, with the River Thames meandering around its boundary. The cottage has been tastefully and completely redecorated by the present owners.
Downstairs offers a generous-sized kitchen with hand-built oak units, a built-in oven with countertop induction hobs, an integrated dishwasher, and a large sitting/living room with a wood-burning stove. The utility room also doubles as a useful shower room.
An oak winder staircase leads upstairs. The master ensuite bedroom, with a walk-through wardrobe, has double doors opening onto a balcony with views over the river and meadows. Two further bedrooms also enjoy river views and share a Jack & Jill shower room.
A decked terrace wraps around two sides of the cottage and looks out onto the delightful private garden, featuring mature trees and a wildflower area that leads down to the river and a private mooring with wooden decking.
There are two brick outbuildings: a single garage and another that houses the well-water filtration system. The front of the property also features raised beds and a pretty, mature rose hedge.
The separate meadow, which includes 25 boat moorings and a Second World War pillbox, is sensitively screened by natural hedging. Further information regarding management and income is available from Savills.

With 26 moorings, countryside views and 1.85 acres of an island on the Thames, this is more than messing about on the river, it's living the dream, surely.
