Description
The Red Lion House, Chiswick Mall, W4
Homes like this simply do not come to market.
Standing proudly on Chiswick Mall – quite literally the most coveted stretch of river frontage in West London – The Red Lion House is a Grade II listed townhouse with a story that spans over three centuries. Originally built in the early 1700s as the Red Lion pub and converted to a private residence in 1915, this is not just a house, it is a piece of London’s living history.
What sets it apart even among its illustrious neighbours is the position. The house enjoys completely unobstructed, forever views straight down the Thames, with a frontage that feels more like a riverside estate than a London townhouse. The first-floor reception room is nothing short of breathtaking – five sash windows wide, stretching across the full width of the building, creating one of the most dramatic and atmospheric living spaces you will find anywhere in the capital.
To the rear is a tranquil private garden, home to what is believed to be the very first wisteria plant ever brought to the UK, as well as a charming winter garden that links inside and out beautifully. To the front, a rare riverside garden provides direct mooring access, offering the extraordinary luxury of stepping from your home straight onto the Thames.
Perhaps most compelling of all is the future potential. Following extensive surveys, the current owners have secured listed building consent and planning permission for a transformative scheme extending the house to approximately 7,500 sq ft, including a major rear extension, loft conversion, reinstated balcony off the principal reception room and the creation of a new roof terrace – elevating this already exceptional property into a world-class riverside residence.
This is not just a home; it is a generational asset. A landmark on one of London’s most prestigious addresses, offering history, scale, water frontage and approved development potential in a combination that may not appear again for decades.
