Description
This extraordinary property, known as the Dockmaster's House, boasts a rich history dating back to 1827 when it was designed by renowned architect Philip Hardwick.

The property's unique features include its stunning river views, apsidal windows, and barrel windows, which give the impression of being on a ship.

The property also features a stunning garden, designed by Todd Longstaffe Gowan, with a parterre, mature roses, and various locations for outdoor entertaining. The property is surrounded by the River Thames and has private security, daily refuse collection, and a unique entrance via the "Red Bridge" over the lock.
