About this property
A rare opportunity to acquire freehold land with prime river frontage and moorings directly on the mainstream river Thames in the borough of Richmond upon Thames currently housing two purpose built houseboats and with the scope and space of a third. Alternatively there is scope to replace the existing houseboats with one large floating home.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a wide residential mooring on the sought-after main stream of the River Thames, offering a distinctive blend of tranquil waterside living and outstanding investment potential. Spanning approximately 38 ft. In width, this rare mooring includes two characterful houseboats currently arranged as three self-contained dwellings, set within a peaceful riverside location and complemented by a generous garden plot.
The Inner Houseboat is the largest of the two, arranged over split levels and offering spacious, well-designed accommodation. It features a bright and airy 22 ft. Open-plan kitchen and reception room, two double bedrooms, a stylish shower room, and two private outdoor spaces: A sunny 12.5 ft. X 9.11 ft. Terrace with stunning river views and a separate 10.8 ft. X 6.10 ft. Deck-perfect for al fresco dining or quiet reflection by the water.
The Outer Houseboat is cleverly divided into two single-storey studio units, each with its own open-plan kitchen/reception space, separate bedroom, and shower room. Both enjoy access to a substantial shared 33 ft. X 18 ft. Terrace, ideal for soaking in panoramic views across the Thames.
Included with the mooring is a 48 ft. X 37 ft. Riverside garden plot, currently used as a communal green space for the two houseboats. This area also hosts two useful storage sheds with plumbing and electricity, as well as a 10.1 ft. X 7.2 ft. Utility room-adding valuable amenity space to the property.
This versatile offering presents multiple possibilities:
•A ready-made rental investment with three income-generating units
•The opportunity to add a third houseboat to the outer mooring (subject to the necessary consents)
•A blank canvas for a visionary buyer to create an extraordinary single riverside residence or a stylish commercial enterprise
With its blend of lifestyle appeal, prime river frontage, and flexible usage potential, this is a truly unique opportunity to secure a slice of riverside living with the scope for future enhancement or development.
