luxury waterfront houses for sale Maidenhead, United Kingdom

Set within one of the Thames’ most exclusive private island, this exceptional riverside residence offers a rare combination of seclusion, water frontage, potential and understated luxury. Approached on foot via a private bridge, the setting immediately delivers a sense of arrival and quiet detachment. Surrounded entirely by the river and mature greenery, the island offers an atmosphere of privacy and calm that is increasingly difficult to find, where daily life is gently shaped by the movement of water and changing light across the landscape. The principal residence is a beautifully considered timber-built home, designed with a refined simplicity that allows the surroundings to take centre stage. Generous glazing invites natural light throughout the interior, while framing elevated views across the gardens and towards the Thames beyond. The result is a home that feels both contemporary and grounded, offering comfort and clarity in equal measure. Internally, the accommodation is arranged to provide a natural balance of living and private space, with three bedrooms complemented by generous reception areas and a well-appointed kitchen and dining environment. The overall impression is one of calm sophistication, with each space flowing effortlessly into the next and out towards the gardens. Within the grounds sits a separate detached dwelling, offering an additional layer of versatility and independence. Currently arranged as a self-contained one-bedroom residence, it provides elegant ancillary accommodation that may suit guests, extended family, or those seeking a dedicated studio or workspace within the same private setting. The gardens are a defining feature of the property, extending generously to the water’s edge where a 37 ft deep-water mooring provides direct access onto the Thames. This rare frontage allows for an exceptional riverside lifestyle, whether for boating, quiet contemplation or entertaining beside the water. A selection of outbuildings, including workshop and storage facilities, further enhances the practicality of the estate without compromising its sense of refinement. Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, Wheatleys Eyot remains conveniently positioned. A short stroll across the footbridge leads to Sunbury-on-Thames, with its village amenities, riverside dining and direct rail services into central London.

Held by the same family for more than four decades, this exceptional Georgian riverside residence occupies one of Strawberry Vale's most coveted positions, directly overlooking the River Thames. Set within expansive private grounds of almost half an acre, the six-bedroom principal house is accompanied by a detached two-bedroom coach house, creating a rare opportunity for multi-generational living or guest accommodation in one of Twickenham's most exclusive settings. A carriage driveway with parking for up to 12 cars approaches the house, where elegant Georgian proportions and period detailing establish an immediate sense of grandeur. The entrance hall forms the centre of the home, leading through to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms arranged across the rear of the house. Each enjoys French doors opening onto the garden, allowing the river and surrounding landscape to become part of everyday life. High ceilings, original fireplaces and generous sash windows reinforce the home's period character, while the adjoining library provides a quieter space overlooking the grounds.

The conservatory is home to an indoor 'endless' swimming pool, providing a convenient fitness feature. A separate utility room and guest shower room complete the practical ground floor accommodation. Beneath the house, extensive cellar rooms offer exceptional storage and present significant scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The first floor comprises six double bedrooms. Two large suites occupy the finest positions, each opening onto a balcony overlooking the gardens and the River Thames beyond. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and additional shower room, offering flexible accommodation for family life.

Perfect for extended family, guests, staff or independent living, it adds another layer of versatility to an already substantial estate. Outside, the gardens are among the property's defining features. Sweeping lawns, mature specimen trees and established planting create an exceptional degree of privacy while framing uninterrupted river views. A former punting shelf offers the potential to reinstate direct access to the Thames via a private pontoon, subject to the necessary permissions, making the setting as remarkable as it is rare.
