5 bed detached house for sale

The Butts, Brentford TW8

We are pleased to offer this distinguished five-bedroom waterside property, situated within the historic Butts conservation area of Brentford. Originally designed by architect Noel Parr in 1904 as The Boatmen’s Institute to provide basic education and religious instruction to the children of the boatmen who worked on the canal boats. The rooms above were used as a maternity home for boatmen's wives until the National Health Service was set up. This iconic Arts and Crafts building has been thoughtfully converted into a private residence, retaining a wealth of original character and architectural detail.
Arranged over three floors, the property features an expansive reception room on the ground floor that benefits from exceptionally high ceilings, original sliding doors, fireplaces, and distinctive windows—creating a grand and airy living space. The modern kitchen provides a seamless connection to the terrace and canal views.
The first floor accommodates four spacious bedrooms, including one with an en-suite shower room, alongside a generously proportioned family bathroom and a convenient laundry room. The principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor, offering a bedroom, dressing area, and a well-appointed shower room.
Externally, the property boasts a magnificent decked terrace directly on the waterside, providing an excellent outdoor entertaining space. To the front, ample parking and a lawned area lead to the charming Butts.
The garage has been converted into a gym, adding valuable flexible space.
This remarkable home combines historic significance with exceptional architectural features and modern living, presented in a prestigious and picturesque location.
