Perched on the banks of the Thames, Graham Norton’s Georgian townhouse in London has just hit the market. Let’s take a tour.
Beloved television personality, author and one of Cork’s finest exports Graham Norton has just put not one, but two of his properties on the market. The first of which is his brick-fronted Manhattan property (which, fun fact, he bought from Claudia Schiffer!), and his London home at Pier Head.
Overlooking the Thames, the building was previously used as a customs office for the London Dock Company before it came into Graham Norton’s possession, and it just so happens to have access to a beach that reveals itself twice a day at low tide.
Combining all the charm and character of a period Georgian townhouse with the addition of a detached former warehouse, the property has all the wide open space of a loft, and is drenched in natural light.
Set across four floors, comprising eight main rooms, a welcoming and generously sized entrance lobby, two reception rooms, a principal suite with a vast ensuite bathroom that occupies the entire top floor, there are two double bedrooms both with ensuite shower rooms, a further double bedroom, a guest W/C, and a well-planned kitchen.
The rear adjoining building incorporates extensive space over two floors, offering double height ceilings, lots of natural light and plenty of charm. There is large open plan living accommodation dominating the upper floor which has vaulted ceilings, views of the river and direct access to the rear garden. The lower part features a shower room, a useful large storage room and a lounge.
In addition to a secluded low maintenance private garden and the pretty inner courtyard, the house shares ownership of the garden, the cobbled lane and the beach which is revealed twice each day at low tide.
On the market for a cool £4,950,000, here’s hoping that Mr Graham Norton is heading for West Cork!
