From the Agent: “Occupying an enviable position on the car-free island of Wheatleys Eyot, this remarkable three-bedroom house looks onto the Thames on one side and a beautiful creek on the other. Surrounded by perfect, private spots for swimming, the house has a separate annex and studio, as well as a mooring on the Thames. Designed to an impeccable standard by BCDH Architects, the sapele-clad building unfolds over a single story, which rises on stilts above grasses and wildflower meadows below that make a haven for local wildlife. Wheatleys Eyot, or Wheatley’s Ait as it is also known, is a small, eight-hectare island in the River Thames on the reach above Sunbury Lock. It lies on the northern bank, in the borough of Sunbury-on-Thames.”
