3 bedroom detached house for sale

Tucked quietly behind a thick laurel hedge on Walton Bridge Road, this charming three bedroom detached cottage feels like a home that has been gently and thoughtfully brought back to life. Just moments from the banks of the River Thames, it offers that rare blend of village warmth and riverside calm that so many people long for.

You can imagine the kind of life that unfolds here. Morning walks along the towpath with the dog, stopping to watch the boats drift by. A quick wander into Shepperton for coffee, or across to Walton-on-Thames to browse the shops. It is the sort of setting that suits a family with roots in either community, people who already know how special this stretch of the river is and want to be part of it.

Inside, the house feels warm and welcoming from the start. The front sitting room is a comfortable, relaxed space, ideal for evenings in or a quiet cup of tea. From there, it opens into a bright dining area and a really well thought out kitchen. It’s a practical layout that just works. There’s plenty of space to cook, chat, and keep an eye on things at the table. It feels sociable without being over the top, and it’s been finished in a way that means you wouldn’t feel the need to change a thing.

Upstairs, there are three good sized bedrooms, along with a modern family bathroom featuring a generous walk in shower.

The garden at the back is a real bonus. There’s enough space for children to play, for summer barbecues, or for simply enjoying a bit of sunshine. At the far end, a substantial double garage offers flexibility, whether that’s for a home office, a gym, hobbies, or just excellent storage.

One of the nicest features is the direct access from the rear onto the riverside path. You can step straight out for a walk along the River Thames, head towards a nearby pub, or just enjoy some fresh air without needing to get in the car.

With good local schools nearby, straightforward road links to the M3, M25 and A316, Heathrow within easy reach, and both village and town stations walkable, it balances character with convenience. And if you have any connection to Shepperton Studios, you’re going to enjoy the short commute!

It’s the kind of home that feels settled and easy from the moment you walk in. AND it's offered with no onward chain... what a bonus!

What does the current owner love?

The chance to take it back to brick and truly make it his own. He’s loved being able to shape every detail to suit his style and taste, so the house now feels exactly how he always wanted it to — thoughtfully finished, personal, and done properly from the ground up. The large garage has also been a bonus man cave but sitting with a coffee in the morning sun on the decking is something that will be missed the most.

What do I love?

For me, it’s the fact that it’s completely turnkey. You can just move straight in and enjoy it. No snagging lists, no weekend projects, no living in a building site. It’s all been done.

I also love the location. The way the layout naturally draws you to the back of the house means you’re always facing towards the river side of things, so it feels much more connected to the River Thames than you might expect. There’s something really lovely about that.

It would be perfect for walking my dog, Bonnie. We’d be out along Cowey Sale all the time. And being able to stroll along to The Minnow Pub or D'Oyly's Island for a drink or a bite to eat would be so nice. I’d absolutely love having all of that right on the doorstep.
