introduction

Chiswick Staithe is an award-winning development of 69 townhouses on the Thames, with its own private river frontage and quay. An unusual feature for a modern development is the substantial car-free green area and gardens at its heart, which gives the atmosphere of a tranquil cathedral close. In conjunction with the Thames Barrier, the substantial river wall, running the length of the river frontage, ensures protection from flooding.

The development was designed in 1963 by a local architect, Edward Armitage, and contains a variety of house layouts and some interesting architectural features. A Management Scheme helps to preserve its architectural heritage and ensure the estate is kept in good order.

The 'Staithe' lies just upstream of Chiswick Bridge, in the quiet and leafy Grove Park Conservation Area of Chiswick. Nearby you will find sports grounds, Chiswick Pool, two Gym and Spa Membership Clubs, a par 3 Golf Course in Dukes Meadows, and the finish line for the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Several well-known riverside pubs are within easy walking distance at Strand on the Green. The beautiful landscaped grounds of 18th C Chiswick House are a short walk away as is the historic Hogarth House. Kew Gardens are easily accessible along the river. There are several good schools, local shops, playgrounds and other amenities close by.

Transport: There are excellent rail connections (25 mins to Waterloo - every 15 mins) from Chiswick Station as well as frequent buses to the tube station at Turnham Green (District Line) or Hammersmith (Piccadilly and District Lines, Hammersmith and City Line). Heathrow Airport and the M25 are a 15 minute drive away. The lively shops and restaurants of Chiswick High Road or Richmond can be easily reached by bus.

Chiswick Staithe is a relaxed place to live. It is also a generally safe environment, monitored by a video security system, where children can play without fear of strangers. There is an active Staithe Whatsapp community group for sharing local news, recommending tradesmen or exchanging household items.

Every freeholder is a shareholder in Chiswick Staithe Ltd, the company which owns and manages the Common Parts and administers the Management Scheme. A Board of Directors (residents rotating on a voluntary basis) runs the Company and instructs the Managing Agents in day-to-day estate maintenance and service charge matters.
