Forming part of the charming cluster of grand period homes that line the historic Dove’s Passage, is 16 Upper Mall, a four-bedroom home available to rent through Finlay Brewer for £1,700 per week. The entrance to the property is directly across from The Dove, one of London’s most notable period pubs.
Dating back to the early 18th Century, the public house has been frequented by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, William Morris and King Charles II, whilst poet James Thomson composed the familiar strains of ‘Rule Britannia’ whilst sat at the bar.
Situated on the banks of the River Thames, 16 Upper Mall benefits from spectacular views of the water that offer a front row seat for the annual Boat Race. Internally, the home comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, shower room, kitchen, large living room and a playroom.
Commenting on the home, Jon Bird, Head of Lettings at Finlay Brewer, said: “16 Upper Mall is right on the river and benefits from direct access to the Thames Riverpath, whilst also being close to the peaceful Furnivall Gardens.
“The owner actually bought three of the neighbouring houses altogether and rents out two of them, one being number 16, and lives in the other one, so the neighbours will always be a familiar face. They’re incredible houses, with plenty of history, so to be able to live in this popular and historic part of Hammersmith will be an attractive prospect.”
Close by are numbers 22 and 24 Upper Mall, which used to be one property and are the oldest houses on Upper Mall. The extensive cellars of each home are said to date back to the Tudor era, and were originally used as accommodation for servants during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Further along is Kelmscott House, which was William Morris’s home for the last 18 years of his life. William Morris was an English artist, designer, writer and socialist, most famous for his revolutionary, and much-loved wallpaper and textile designs.
16 Upper Mall is ideally situated for transport connections to the rest of London, including a short walk to the transport hub of Hammersmith Broadway with its bus and tube connections of the District, Piccadilly and Hammersmith & City lines.
16 Upper Mall is available to let at £1,700 per week, through Finlay Brewer.
