Description

Escape from the Rat Race with this 2 bedroom, freehold bungalow on Garrick's Ait in Hampton, a tranquil, traffic-free island overlooking historic parkland. Garrick's Ait is on the Thames accessed via boat from either East Molesey (a short 10 sec trip) or Hampton (30 sec) banks. The property is brick-built and was constructed in 2000 on one of the largest plots on the island with 35ft of private mooring and decked garden with a large 20sqm raised area perfect for entertaining.
The house centres around a large, open plan, living space with vaulted double height ceilings combining kitchen, dining area and lounge. Skylights flood the space with light and double patio doors open to the extensive decking. The master bedroom connects ensuite to a large family bathroom with high ceilings. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with new shower unit and WC and travertine stone tiling. Living and sleeping areas all benefit from river views.
There are currently two boats owned by the vendors which could be negotiated into any offer. Free parking is available on both Molesey and Hampton riversides. The island lies 10mins walk from Hampton and 20mins walk from Hampton Court Rail stations which operate regular 35min services into Waterloo.
