The Boathouse is a unique freehold property located beside the River Thames, adjacent to the Grade II Listed Richmond Lock. This site offers an exceptional opportunity with Full Planning Permission for the development of three four-bedroom family homes, each featuring off-street parking and a generous gross internal floor area of 9,171 sq ft. The approved plans, which are part of the marketing material, illustrate a modern living environment with ample natural light and seamless connections to the riverside. The property includes a private courtyard for parking, gardens, terraces with direct river frontage, and a private jetty and moorings, all set within a conservation area. Originally a boat-building yard in the 1960s, The Boathouse was transformed in the mid-1970s by musician Pete Townshend into a recording studio. This rich history adds character to the property, making it not just a home but a piece of local heritage. The new scheme promises spacious living, kitchen, dining, and bedroom areas designed for family life and entertaining, with direct access to landscaped outdoor spaces. The site is conveniently located near Richmond’s shops and restaurants, while offering easy access to the Thames Path for scenic riverside walks. This property is offered for sale by informal tender with best and final offers to be submitted in due course.
