Friary Island, Staines, Surrey, TW19, United Kingdom

Set in a secluded position on the banks of the Thames, Friary House is a contemporary architectural home on the exclusive Friary Island. Accessed via electric gates, the property offers complete discretion, extensive river frontage, and remarkable views that sweep across the water to the south.



The house unfolds across three levels, thoughtfully elevated on stilts to make the most of its riverside outlook while also embracing flood-conscious design. Entry is via the first floor, where the drama of the architecture reveals itself: a double-height reception room anchors the central space, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open directly onto the terrace. Expanses of glazing allow light to move freely throughout the day, blurring the boundaries between inside and out.



Bifold doors lead from both the formal reception area and a more relaxed living/dining room onto a substantial decked terrace, which runs along the rear of the house and is fitted with a resistance swimming pool and jacuzzi, perfect for entertaining against a riverfront backdrop.



The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, with integrated appliances, ample storage and an adjoining utility room. To one side of this floor is the principal bedroom suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite. A spiral staircase winds down to a wine cellar, which has direct access to an entertaining space that has been cleverly integrated beneath the main house.



On the upper level, a galleried landing overlooks the reception space and offers panoramic views across the water. The further bedroom enjoys its own river-facing balcony and ensuite bathroom, while the two remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom, completing the main accommodation.



In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate self-contained flat above one of two garages, complete with a reception room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony perfect for guests, extended family or staff. The second garage, positioned closer to the main road, is an additional benefit.



Outside, the gardens sweep down towards the water and the property enjoys a significant stretch of private river frontage, including mooring for two boats.



The property also has underfloor heating, air conditioning, and a Loxone smart home and security system.

Despite its rural feel, Friary House remains within easy reach of Windsor and Maidenhead, with strong transport links and a calm waterside lifestyle that?s increasingly rare to find.
