Hamhaugh Island, Shepperton, Surrey, TW17

Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 28 ft wide open-plan kitchen/dining/living space at the rear with floor to ceiling windows giving views across the gardens to the river beyond. There is also a useful garden studio which has been used as a guest bedroom or office. Outside, a large decked entertaining overlooks the lawn and the riverside to the rear. To the front of the house a large lawn cascades down to the path that leads along to Shepperton Lock where parking is provided for residents. Hamhaugh Island is a small friendly private island with a strong community feel, clustered around a central green, which is an attractive and ideal venue for those annual neighbourly get togethers. The island was originally used as a weekend retreat for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of London, divided into camping plots, with the tents being later replaced by timber structures, which over the years have been replaced and grown to provide substantial and some very palatial permanent homes, yet this has not detracted from its tranquillity or the spirt of island living.
