2 bedroom houseboat for sale

Set along a peaceful stretch of the Main Stream Thames between Teddington and Twickenham, this beautifully presented two-storey residential houseboat offers approximately 879 sq ft of bright and well-planned living space together with the security of a residential mooring. Positioned on the quieter backwater of Swan Island yet with easy access for day boats or kayaking onto the main river, it combines tranquillity with connectivity in one of South West London’s most desirable waterside settings.

The upper level provides a wonderfully light open-plan living and kitchen space, designed for relaxed riverside living and entertaining. Folding doors open directly onto a private sun terrace, where a newly installed flat roof and decking completed in 2024 create an inviting outdoor space overlooking the water. The kitchen was re-tiled in 2023 and flows seamlessly into the reception area, with views across the water.

Re-carpeting with new underlay in 2021 to the stairs and lower level enhances comfort to the home, where two generous double bedrooms ate located, one benefitting from a substantial walk-in wardrobe, dressing area and double doors opening onto the riverside walkway. The bathroom, refurbished in 2021, features a full-height ceiling, bath with shower over and cassette WC. Replacement radiators installed in 2021, a programmable Nest smart thermostat and a recently serviced boiler with Gas Safe certification in February 2026 ensure efficient and reliable central heating.

The current owners have demonstrated a clear commitment to ongoing maintenance and improvement. In addition to the 2024 installation of a hull leak sensor system for added peace of mind, the vessel is scheduled for an out-of-water survey in February 2026, including re-blacking and replacement sacrificial anodes — offering prospective purchasers valuable reassurance and the opportunity for detailed inspection.

Swan Island is accessed on foot via a short bridge just off the Strawberry Vale and Cross Deep junction. Radnor Gardens, immediately adjacent, provides attractive open green space along the river together with a children’s playground. Strawberry Hill station is approximately 0.4 miles away, offering frequent services to London Waterloo — around 78 trains daily with journey times between 28 and 50 minutes — while both Twickenham and Teddington High Streets are equidistant, each offering an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, wine bars and further rail connections.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to secure a thoughtfully maintained riverside home in a peaceful yet highly convenient Thames location. Viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both the setting and the lifestyle on offer.
