Narrow Street, London, E14 8BP
REF: AR0549 ***A TRULY UNIQUE RIVERSIDE HOME IN LIMEHOUSE – WITH HIS OWN PRIVATE BEACH!!***
Step into one of London’s most special riverside homes – a property that blends history, design, and a one-of-a-kind location.
This house began as a quirky old cottage, complete with a short spiral staircase leading to nowhere (the top floor was lost to bomb damage during WWII). When the original structure could no longer be saved, the owner reimagined it – designing a new home that respected the Georgian row of historic neighbours on the outside, while creating a bright, modern sanctuary inside.
Highlights of this remarkable home:
• Direct Thames views from the living room, kitchen, and all bedrooms
• Dual aspect kitchen – leafy Rope Makers Fields at the front (with summer visits from wild green parrots!) and the Thames at the back
• Private walled roof terrace – ideal for soaking up the evening breeze or entertaining friends
• Handcrafted hardwood sash windows & bay windows that flood the home with natural light
• Unique iron stair railings custom-designed by the owner
• A short spiral staircase nodding to the home’s original quirky charm
• Large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms designed for comfort and space
• Your very own private beach (a London rarity!)
The design focuses on openness, high ceilings, and natural light – giving every room a sense of airiness. From the terrace to the riverside rooms, this house invites you to enjoy the flow of the Thames and the calm of Limehouse.
Why Limehouse?
Limehouse is one of London’s best-kept secrets – a neighbourhood that feels almost like an island, surrounded by the Thames, Regents Canal, Limehouse Cut, and Limehouse Basin. Yet it’s only minutes from Canary Wharf and within easy reach of Central London. With the DLR, riverboat, and excellent transport links, you get the best of both worlds: riverside tranquillity and city convenience.
This isn’t just a house – it’s a lifestyle. A rare chance to own a piece of London where history meets modern living, and where very few homes can claim a private beach.
Your Limehouse dream home awaits – and it’s unlike anything else in the city.
