2 bedroom houseboat for sale

Nestled in a quiet, enviable location on the River Thames with easy access to Weybridge and Shepperton,  D’Oyly Carte Island is an exclusive mooring where we can provide two or three bedroom stunning residential boats. 

Each one is beautifully handmade by our master craftspeople, with thoughtfully designed interiors, furnished to the highest standards to maximise space, comfort and luxury. We think it’s a whole new way to experience life afloat, and we can’t wait to tell you more. 

A unique two-acre private island on the River Thames near Weybridge is the perfect location to moor your boat for total tranquillity and enjoyment.  

Access to this beautiful island is by its own private footbridge which links secure parking on the mainland.  Local shops and amenities are within an approximate 15 minute walk. This unique combination provides a beautiful balance of convenience with seclusion.      

The centrepiece on the island is Eyot House, a private Grade II listed Victorian property which was built for Gilbert and Sullivan opera impresario Richard D’Oyly Carte. 

D’Oyly Carte is a select mooring with approximately 30 pied-a-terre and leisure berths. Three linear moorings have already been allocated to Waterspace Living customers with an additional four new berths planned for construction in early 2025. 

The remainder of moorings are occupied by private leisure craft from river cruisers, Dutch barges and wide-beam canal boats. 

Water and electricity are provided close to each berth and there is also a refuse and recycling facility on the mainland.  Boats can pump-out requesting the on site floating pump out barge.  Car Parking is available on a private access road from Walton Lane immediately opposite the Island footbridge. 

The private owners of D’Oyly Carte Island are continually improving the island for boat owners.  Being based on site, the owners are very proactive and tend to any arising issues quickly and efficiently. 

There are numerous river cruising options from the Island.  Just a short distance away is the start of the River Wey Navigation which provides a beautiful, scenic route to Guildford and beyond to Godalming.   Alternatively, heading downstream on the River Thames, you can reach Hampton Court Palace passing through just 2 locks or head upstream through the rural towns and open countryside of Surrey and Berkshire.

 The island has the tremendous benefit of its very own Cafe, bar and creperie set in wonderful landscaped surroundings with views over the River Thames.
