Property

Nestled within one of the Thames' most exclusive and enchanting settings, Pharaohs Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful waterfront home on the highly sought-after Pharaohs Island. Accessible only by boat and home to just 23 private residences, this unique island community enjoys an unrivalled sense of tranquillity, privacy and charm. Rich in history, Pharaohs Island takes its name from Admiral Nelson's famous victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798, after which the island was reputedly gifted by the Treasury. Today, many of the island's homes retain Egyptian-inspired names, adding to the area's distinctive character. Occupying a peaceful position with direct River Thames frontage and a private mooring, Pharaohs Cottage perfectly embraces waterside living. Approached through beautifully established gardens, the property immediately captivates with its individuality, warmth and relaxed atmosphere.

About This Property

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully designed to maximise both natural light and the spectacular river outlook. Vaulted timber-clad ceilings, exposed brickwork, character beams and wide plank wooden flooring combine to create a wonderfully inviting environment, full of charm and personality. The bespoke kitchen features a central island, ample storage and generous preparation space, seamlessly flowing into the living and entertaining areas. Large bi-folding doors open directly onto the riverside terrace, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out and providing the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the ever-changing Thames scenery.

The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook and benefits from attractive styling and excellent natural light. Two further double bedrooms provide versatile accommodation for family, guests or home working, whilst a substantial additional room offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, office, studio or creative workspace. Above, a useful mezzanine area provides further storage or occasional accommodation.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower and timeless metro tiling, creating a stylish and relaxing retreat.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The private riverside garden enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting with direct water frontage and its own private mooring, allowing immediate access to the River Thames and the extensive cruising network beyond. Whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the water, launching a paddleboard or setting off for a day on the river, the lifestyle on offer is exceptional.

Offering approximately 1,745 sq ft of accommodation including the mezzanine and outbuilding, Pharaohs Cottage combines period character, contemporary comfort and an enviable riverside setting. Properties on Pharaohs Island are rarely available and this delightful home represents a unique opportunity to enjoy an idyllic island lifestyle within easy reach of London and the surrounding Surrey countryside.
