4 bed detached house for sale

Wheatleys Eyot, Sunbury-On-Thames TW16

Tucked away on the private island of Wheatleys Eyot, this rare riverside holding offers a true retreat from the everyday. Reached by pedestrian access only, life here moves at a gentler pace, defined by open water, passing boats and an unmistakable sense of calm.
The plot comprises two detached properties. The principal house is a contemporary timber-clad home, recently constructed and designed to make the most of its remarkable setting. The exterior is finished in natural timber cladding, giving it a clean, architectural feel that sits comfortably within its wooded island surroundings. Large openings draw in light and frame views across the gardens towards the Thames, while inside the accommodation is well balanced and ready for immediate occupation. A water softener is already installed, an important practical addition for riverside living.
In contrast, the original dwelling remains on site and now offers clear potential. It may suit refurbishment, replacement, or the creation of a smaller studio building to complement the newer wood-clad house, subject to the necessary consents. The opportunity to shape this secondary structure adds flexibility, whether for guest accommodation, workspace or additional income.
The grounds are a particular feature. Generous private gardens lead directly to a deep water mooring of approximately 37 ft, allowing swift access to the river for boating enthusiasts. There is also a separate shed and workshop, ideal for storage, hobbies or maintaining river equipment.
Despite its seclusion, the property is only moments by footbridge from the amenities of Sunbury-on-Thames, with its village shops, pubs and rail connections into London.
A unique opportunity to secure a tranquil island lifestyle with scope to enhance and personalise, all set within one of the Thames’ most special private enclaves.
