House For Sale Railway Wharf, Kingston Upon Thames, KT1

The site for the Riverside Restaurant is right on the water and customers will enjoy magnificent views both up and down stream from the elevated position the building will command.\r
The design presently includes a secure wet dock that would provide an opportunity for a hospitality launch offering days out or mooring for customer's vessels whilst dining.\r
The Freehold for the site also enjoys 100ft of frontage with Riparian rights for mooring alongside the restaurant.\r
The site is adjacent to Thameside carpark and there is on street parking in the immediate vicinity for guests to park. Seven Kings Bentall's multi storey carparks are within a few hundred yards.\r
\r
Kingston-upon-Thames is undergoing an extensive transformation. The oldest Royal Borough in the country has long been regarded as a highly desirable location for residents and businesses alike. \r
However for the past few years the council has been actively encouraging inward investment on a significant scale, and has succeeded in attracting a substantial amount of new development that will provide thousands of new high quality homes, shops and offices. \r
Developments such as Kingston Heights, Kingston Riverside, the Royal Quarter, Thameside and Charter Quay will shortly be joined by Berkeley's Queenshurst and Post Office sites. There is also to be a comprehensive redevelopment of the Eden Walk shopping centre that will enhance Kingston's already lofty position as one of the UK's foremost retail destinations. \r
In addition, the town centre has extended its hospitality sector with the opening of a Premier Inn and a new Doubletree by Hilton hotel, less than two hundred metres from the Riverside Restaurant, on the corner of Down Hall Road and Skerne Road.\r
\r
PLANNING\r
Detailed planning consent was granted in 2012 for 'The erection of a boathouse' building comprising 821 square metres for use as a Restaurant/ Cafe on first floor with a ground floor reception, plantroom and alterations to mooring facilities. The consent has been implemented with the construction of the plant room that contains equipment to serve the award-winning water fed heat source pump system in the neighbouring Kingston Heights development.\r
\r
The internal layout plans are, at this stage, indicative only and it will be possible for the incoming purchaser/ occupier to design the interior to meet their individual requirements. \r
