House For Sale £5,000,000
Full description We are delighted to bring to the open market this Iconic and local focal point of unique architecture. The Grade II listed Swiss Chalet was imported from Switzerland in 1882 and assembled on the banks of the Thames near Hampton Court Palace and just across the road from the second largest Royal Park, Bushy Park.
The five-storey home was originally intended as an ornate garden feature for the grounds of a now long gone country residence, known as Riverholm. Over the years tremendous investment has been injected into this property, creating the now incredible features and truly unusual attributes this property has to offer.
Upon entering the property, from an expansive terrace, a triple aspect Lounge come dining room leads through to a large fitted kitchen with multiple built in Gaggeneau appliances, vast preparation areas and breakfast bar. A spiral staircase leads from this floor to other levels within the property.
The second floor has three bedrooms all with ensuite facilities and a utility room. From the landing here, there is a glass staircase leading to the master bedroom suite on the top floor.
All of the bedrooms have door access out onto the wrap around balconies that surround each level
The lower floor has 2 levels, an additional room with twin cloakrooms and ornamental Japanese garden style bridge, leading to the garden room together with a turning staircase down to the vast subterranean underfloor heated room, suitable for use in many applications, whether that be a swimming pool, ( with some alteration needed), gymnasium, office space, guest accommodation or something else, with hugely high ceilings and vast windows offering natural light, this space has many options.
Outside, the landscaped gardens include a large grated covered fish pond, large wet dock, covered walk way, lawned gardens and a self contained 840sqft annex. There is a sizable frontage to this property of approximately 600ft of private riverside mooring, with finger pontoons and includes 2 large floating entertaining areas/sun decks. These moorings have space for approximately 25 boats, with parking for up to 20 vehicles, giving the option for not only private but commercial uses, subject to the usual consents.
Hampton Court station is within 0.5 miles, with frequent trains to Waterloo taking between 34 and 37 minutes, with 43 direct trains a day. Also within 0.5 miles is the shopping area with a multitude of eateries, wine bars and public houses and of course Hampton Court Place itself.
