Description:

A truly unique, opportunity to own a house boasting massive internal spaces in the only marina in central London, adjacent to a World Heritage Site and a short walk from The City of London. There are so few houses in this extraordinarily significant and well-connected area of London that this is a rare prospect indeed.

The three interlinked basins, accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames, now form a marina for 185 vessels on a twenty-acre site that brings an abundance of natural light to the house, as well as east-to-west views and a sense of space that few period buildings in the City can offer. The docks are a private estate with no through traffic and, as a result, are profoundly quiet and secure. The sellers tell us, ‘It wasn’t until the day we moved in that we truly appreciated the impact of the 180o views of Tower Bridge and the marina. We celebrated with a dinner party in the lounge with trestle tables put together to make a dinner table for forty guests, such is the scale of the rooms. It has been our dream home, an oasis of calm right in the heart of the greatest city in the world, with Turner’s light over the Thames thrown in. ’ The current owners converted from a six-bedroom, five-bathroom house to a five-bedroom, four-bathroom to ensure that every room is spacious and light filled. ‘We.
