Unique offer of a prestigious property—The Dockmaster’s House—in central London with views of Tower Bridge. This listed building with a fascinating history was designed in 1827 by English architect Philip Hardwick, who is also renowned for his design of Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London. The current owner connected the house with The Toll House, creating an interior reminiscent of an English Georgian country home.
The River Thames surrounds the house on two sides, a feature enjoyed by the rooms on the southern side of the property. They boast a full-width apsidal window facing the river and side windows framing Tower Bridge and The Shard beyond. The ground floor includes a dining room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a utility area. On the first floor, there is a living room, a library, a study, a salon, and a guest toilet. The ground and first floors are connected by a central symmetrical atrium open to the upper level, featuring a beautiful staircase crowned by an ornate domed ceiling. The second floor accommodates two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and two bathrooms. The top floor is dedicated to a study with access to a terrace. A well-preserved Georgian cellar offers space for a climate-controlled wine room, fitness area, office, toilet, and utility facilities.

The house’s façade faces south, and on three sides it is surrounded by a formal country-style garden, complete with parterre design, mature roses and plants, and numerous areas for outdoor leisure. Features include an elevated terrace overlooking the river, an open rotunda, a riverside flower bed, an ornamental koi pond, and an open space for social events with a capacity of 60 guests. The garden is enclosed by a tall wall ensuring privacy, while security is provided by 24/7 surveillance.
Access on foot and by car from the Tower Hill side is via Red Bridge, a lock bridge resembling a drawbridge. Entry from St. Katharine’s Way is secured by an automatic gate with license plate recognition connected to the security system. Beyond it lies a spacious private parking area, a double garage, and an enclosed courtyard with additional parking, allowing for flexible use. The location combines the calm of a harbor atmosphere with the vibrant energy of the metropolis, making it one of London’s most sought-after addresses.
