A private island on the River Thames with tree-lined banks and a domed pergola is up for sale with a guide price of £75,000.

The island, which is about 2,000 square feet wide with 250 feet of river frontage, sits just downstream of Temple Lock in the main flow of the Thames and was previously used for entertainment and fishing purposes. 

Savills property agent Richard Maby described it as a "lovely little retreat" and "a rare commodity on the open market", adding that it would suit someone "with a spirit for adventure looking for somewhere to escape to after a busy day".

With one side developed for mooring and the other lined with trees for a more natural vista, the pretty land mass seems like the perfect freehold acquisition for a keen seaman also interested in nabbing a secluded retreat less than two miles from busy Marlow.

It is also just a stone’s throw from the centre of Bisham, a village on the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire border home to the Bisham Abbey Sports Centre, a world-class facility that welcomed the Prince and Princess of Wales on a visit in the autumn.

Alongside a pretty columned and domed pergola at its centre, the island has a small underwater riverbank and, despite its attractions, is best suited to short-term visits, with no electricity, water or drainage services available.
