Fancy living in this luxurious house on a private river island in Surrey?
Not only is Sphinx a gorgeous property in its own right, the riverside home also happens to be located on a private island on the River Thames, which can be accessed only by boat.
Pharaoh’s Island in Shepperton, Surrey, was bought by the treasury and gifted to Admiral Nelson after the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Due to this fact, most of the island’s 23 homes have Egyptian names – hence ‘Sphinx’.
Built in 1903, the home has many famous links – Sphinx was previously owned by Janet Munro and Ian Hendry, and also featured in John Boorman's two semi-autobiographical films, Hope and Glory in 1987 and Queen and Country in 2014.
The home has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms, a private jetty and annex with sauna.
The interiors are neutral, traditional and cosy, with predominantly white walls and wooden floors. And if you don’t fancy a dip in the river, you can always go for the property’s lovely outdoor swimming pool.
As Sphinx is situated at the tip of Pharaoh’s Island, it offers spectacular river views.
This property is available for £2,250,000 through Knight Frank.
