Built in the 18th century, Doughty House is a large house on Richmond Hill in Surrey, England. The house has amazing views over the Thames and central London can be seen in the distance. The house is named after Elizabeth Doughty, who lived there from about 1786.

A 125-foot-long gallery was added in 1885 for the very important family art collection. It housed a considerable collection of paintings including works by Titian and El Greco.

Both the house and gallery are Grade II listed, and planning permission for renovation with some alterations has been granted. The house was put on the market in 2012 with a guide price of £15 million.

Today it is currently being transformed into a 100 million palace.

I visited on a bad day and was caught by a construction manager and asked to leave. It was a first for me and In so lucky he didn't call the police.

I was unfortunately not able to get into the gallery as i was caught and escorted out.

So instead here are some pictures of the plans for redevelopment.
