Beautifully located historic grade II townhouse next to river, canals and locks Set in Stourport-On-Severn, this unique 18th century building is the first purpose built transportation hotel in the UK which has been sympathetically converted into residential accommodation. JJ's "Gin Palace" is a luxury riverside townhouse 21 miles from Birmingham and 10.6 miles from Worcester. Birmingham Airport is 36 miles away. This townhouse is located by the River Severn and picturesque locks & canal basins. There are a selection of cafes, restaurants and bars within a 5-10 minute walk. The kitchen is fully fitted with a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer, fan oven and a microwave, as well as a kettle and a coffee machine . There is a smart flat-screen TV featured in the lounge and a flat screen TV in the family room. Gin palace boasts a log burner and has many other unique original features. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the townhouse.
Hi, We live and work in Worcestershire and Hampshire but we are originally from Yorkshire and London so have moved around a bit. We are very family oriented and love travelling and having new experiences. Our house was built circa 1772 in the period between the Battle of Culloden ("Outlander") and the Battle of Trafalgar, this was the decade that Australia was discovered by Captain James Cook. You can still see the reminders of those days including open beams in the ceiling and rope marks on the corner of the building where carts were pulled with their heavy loads from the River Severn sailing ships to the locks and canal barges. Sympathetically converted in the early 2000's, this unique historic property is part of the first purpose built transportation hotel in the UK (and possibly in the world?). It was built for rich business people to stay and conduct their business adjacent to one of the busiest canal networks in the country. The english canal network came decades before the steam train network and their famous railway hotels. We look forward to meeting you. John & Julie
Why is the property called The Tontine? A Tontine is a unique(!) financial investment named after Lorenzo Tonti a Neapolitan banker who introduced the system into France in the 17th century. A Tontine consists of a group of rich business people who each invest their capital into an asset such as a hotel or a bridge. Each investor then receives income from the use of this asset in proportion to the amount they have invested, however, what makes a Tontine unique is that when a member of the group dies, their proportion of the investment and their income is shared amongst the remaining living investors in the group. The last person alive gets the lot! This clearly creates a perverse incentive to "bump off" your fellow investors. There a number of Tontine Hotels remaining in the UK including at historic Iron Bridge in Telford (not too far away), Northallerton in North Yorkshire, Greenock near Glasgow in Scotland and Peebles in the Scottish Borders. Other notable Tontine investments include Richmond Bridge over the River Thames in London and The Tontine Coffee House on Wall Street in New York City, built in 1792, was the first home of the New York Stock Exchange.
