Switzerland. A land synonymous with quality and luxury in everything they export: from watches, to chocolate, to bank accounts. And, those elements of quality and luxury are also present in their architecture, particularly in Hampton Court’s The Chalet.
Steeped in history, this incredible, five-floor, Grade II listed, authentic Swiss Chalet was imported from Switzerland in 1882. Originally designed as a rather grand boathouse, The Chalet has been converted to offer a unique and exciting opportunity to acquire a truly original and stylish home.
Overlooking the iconic Bushy Park to the front, The Chalet is just a few minutes walk from Hampton Court Palace and was originally a garden feature for an imposing house called Riverholm and offers views of an incredible backdrop from every angle.
The Chalet then went under substantial renovation, transforming the luxury home into the ultimate party house, to include a spa, wine cellar, outdoor pool, spiral staircases and an indoor beach (including the sand)!
The Chalet has four bedrooms and three bathrooms with a large terrace overlooking the water, leading to the reception room and kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for entertaining. The master bedroom suite also benefits from a balcony with more stunning views of the River Thames.
This property offers an exceptional opportunity to someone looking for space, originality and the chance to renovate a substantial home to their own taste, or a developer.
Famous Swiss brand Rolex has a rather fitting strapline to describe their watches: “They don’t tell time, they tell history.” And The Chalet offers just that, access to an important piece of history right here in the heart of Hampton Court.
