Jewel of the Nile - Fancy this stunning home on Pharoahs island in the Thames - gifted to Admiral Nelson after his victory at the Battle of the Nile 1798.
The Edwardian property on Pharaoh's Island near Shepperton Lock which comes with its own swimming pool and guesthouse can only be accessed by boat, via an exclusive 90ft mooring.
It was used for the shooting of two John Boorman films, Hope and Glory (1987), which was Academy Award nominated for Best Picture, and Queen and Country (2014).
The island acquired its 'Pharaoh' name as it was gifted to Lord Nelson after he triumphed in the Battle of the Nile (1798). He used it as a fishing retreat and the island is now home to 23 glamorous properties.
