We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated within the cherished Old Chiswick Conservation Area, Red Lion House is an imposing five-bedroom, Grade II listed townhouse offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on one of West London’s most coveted addresses.
Formerly a historic public house, the property has had upgrades including a new roof, updated plumbing and electrics, while retaining its exceptional period character and now has planning permission to turn the house into one of the most exceptional properties in Chiswick.
Believed to date from the early 18th century, the property boast its own private riverside garden with unrestricted views of the River Thames and Chiswick Eyot which is the largest garden on The Mall.
A rare feature of the basement is a historic well, which, at certain tides, reveals the Thames at its base, a charming and unique reminder of the property’s storied past.
Spanning four floors and 5,549 sq ft, Red Lion House presents an exciting blank canvas for the discerning buyer, with planning permission painstakingly secured by the current owners to transform the home into arguably one of the finest properties on the Mall.
The accommodation currently includes a stunning lower ground floor which has plans to be turned into a gym, cinema room and entertaining space.
The property is currently arranged with three elegant reception rooms, two well-appointed kitchens, and a magnificent drawing room that spans the full width of the house.
Bathed in natural light from its south-facing aspect, the drawing room is a true showpiece, featuring multiple windows and, most notably, doors that open onto a balcony with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the River Thames.
The house further comprises five generously proportioned bedrooms, with the added potential to convert the loft into an exquisite principal suite.
From this elevated vantage point, one could enjoy sweeping vistas of the river and, in the distance, the London skyline, creating a truly spectacular and private retreat within this historic family home.
Sold chain-free, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a residence of immense character and historic significance, offering unparalleled potential to create a truly bespoke family home in one of West London’s most desirable locations.
Chiswick Mall enjoys both tranquillity and convenience, with excellent access to the A4/M4, Turnham Green Underground station (District Line) and highly regarded local schools, including St Paul’s and Godolphin & Latymer.
