The Boathouse, Bayswater is unquestionably one of them.

Complete with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment and an enormous high-stud garage, it offers an exceptional space for boating enthusiasts, collectors of vehicles, or those seeking an architecturally inspiring conversion into a unique waterfront residence.
