Facing the river, but set back some distance from it, along Abbey Drive. I was quite surprised to find it listed by Pevsner, who suggests it may be of early 19th century date ('The Buildings of England' - included in both Surrey and Middlesex volumes). To my eye, interesting details include the Tudor-style chimney and the honeycomb windows. There is also a thatchwork peacock on the roof (left-hand end).
