Today we turn our attention to one of the Thames’ most exclusive and discreet residential addresses. Set on a private island and surrounded by flowing water, this is a home that offers true escapism without sacrificing connectivity.

Today’s featured property delivers a lifestyle more commonly associated with continental waterfront retreats, but right on London’s doorstep.

Occupying a prime position on the banks of the River Thames, Friary House is a striking contemporary residence set within the highly exclusive Friary Island. Elevated on stilts to maximise its setting, the home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its extraordinary waterfront environment.

At the heart of the house lies a dramatic double height reception room, where floor to ceiling glazing frames the Thames and floods the interior with natural light. This space flows effortlessly into the expansive riverside terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor living and the ever changing waterscape beyond.

The sleek modern kitchen is perfectly equipped for both everyday living and entertaining, while the principal suite offers a calm and luxurious retreat with walk in wardrobe and elegant en suite. An additional self contained apartment above the garage is ideal for staff, guests or independent living.

Outside, Sweeping gardens descend directly to the water’s edge, with a generous stretch of private Thames frontage and mooring for two boats. The expansive decked terrace spans the rear of the home and features a resistance pool and jacuzzi, creating a private riverside entertaining space that feels both luxurious and serene.

Outstanding Feature: The breathtaking double height reception room, where full height glazing transforms the River Thames into a living artwork, a spectacular backdrop for both quiet mornings and memorable evenings.
