This rare and iconic London riverside property is back on the market
Waterside properties are often the most sought-after, and this historic property on the banks of the River Thames has to be one of the most impressive.
The incredible Grade II listed authentic Swiss Chalet, and a former House Beautiful Property of the Week, was imported from Switzerland in 1882, originally to be used as a boathouse, but has since been converted to offer a unique family home with an accompanying boatyard with a wet dock.
Overlooking the beautiful Bushy Park, the Chalet is just a few minutes away from Hampton Court Palace. The five-floor listed building has gone on the market a few times within the last seven years too – more recently, it came back on the market late last year, and is now listed once again, with offers above £3.5 million.
The chalet was originally a garden feature for a substantial house called Riverholm. But a £5 million makeover by architect Myck Djurberg saw the luxury property transformed into the ultimate party house, which at the time included a 21-metre indoor beach complete with 40 tonnes of sand, as well as a spa complex, outdoor pool and wine cellar.
Today, the landscaped, waterfront plot offers a blank canvas for the new owner to put their stamp on it. Arranged over five floors, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the first floor includes a terrace with riverside views leading to the dining room and kitchen-breakfast room, making it the ultimate spot for entertaining.
Sleeping accommodation occupies the third and fourth floors, with the principal bedroom suite even benefiting from a balcony.
Meanwhile, outside, a timber bridge over the dry dock leads to lush, landscaped gardens and further to the river and the pontoons. The finger pontoons offer exclusive moorings of around 600ft, offering ample space for numerous boats.
The Chalet, Hampton Court, Surrey is on the market for £3.5 million with UK Sotheby's International Realty.
