Report - Doughty House, Richmond - Feb 2016

[Exploring with Andy]

Built in the 18th century, Doughty House is a large house on Richmond Hill in Surrey, England. The house has amazing views over the Thames and central London can be seen in the distance. The house is named after Elizabeth Doughty, who lived there from about 1786.

A 125-foot-long gallery was added in 1885 for the very important family art collection. It housed a considerable collection of paintings including works by Titian and El Greco.

Both the house and gallery are Grade II listed, and planning permission for rennovation with some alterations has been granted. The house was put on the market in 2012 with a guide price of £15 million.

Can’t believe I never saw this before, but what amazes me most is how it’s only an end of terrace!

Im working nearby. To me it looks like work stalled for quite some time.
Destined to be an Arab status symbol/capital storage portfolio item i bet.

Does anyone have any updates on it? Such a lovely building, I hope someone buys it and cleans it up.

 

[mockney reject]

im pretty sure its all converted now

 

[zombizza]

it certainly has had work on and off but doesnt look finished.
I think it has probably been stripped and cleaned up, so not as nice
