The London home of broadcaster, actor and writer Graham Norton is for sale.
Situated on the banks of the River Thames in Wapping, the Eurovision host has lived in the Grade II-listed Georgian house for two decades and reportedly wants to move after 'feeling brave enough to make a huge change' in his life.
Dating back to 1811, the house forms part of two terraces that were originally built for the Dock Masters and Customs Offices. The former entrance to the London Docks now serves as a beautiful garden between the homes, offering pristine views over the river.
The layout is indeed generous, spanning four floors and comprising a large hallway, two reception rooms, three double bedrooms, a bright open-plan entertaining space, and a vast principal suite that sits across the entire top floor. What's more, features such as vaulted ceilings, wooden beams, and original floorboards beautifully highlight the home's rich history.
Speaking about his home, Graham said, 'I have loved my time in Pier Head over the last 20 years. The house has the ideal mix of cosy and open-plan living that spills out to the riverside. It has been the perfect home for many memorable occasions, as well as a haven from city life.
'I know I'll miss waking up to the river with its big sky and boats gliding by, but as life moves on, so must I. It's a truly special spot and I look forward to finding someone who will cherish it as much as I have.'
Outside, new owners will benefit from a secluded, low-maintenance private garden, a pretty inner courtyard, and access to the beach, which is revealed twice daily at low tide.
Simon Boulton, partner at Knight Frank, adds, 'It's incredibly rare to find a Georgian property of this quality and scale in such a prominent position overlooking the Thames. Along with the historic features of the main house, what really sets it apart is the converted warehouse, which offers fantastic, versatile space for entertaining or additional accommodation.
'Complemented by the private garden square and iconic London views, the property offers the opportunity to own a meticulously preserved piece of maritime heritage.'
This property is on the market for £4.95 million with Knight Frank.
