Description:
An elegant grade II listed Georgian house adjacent to Westminster school and abbey, overlooking the palace of Westminster. Description Great College Street is a grand, Grade II Listed Georgian House which dates back to c.1722. It is approached by a number of steps leading up to an imposing entrance with a solid oak door encased by brick detailing. The façade of the house protrudes at the centre in an elegant manner that symbolises the integral nature of architectural design during this period. There are a number of double hung sash windows complete with secondary glazing throughout. This feature ensures an abundance of natural light is present in the property. The house has a mansard roof complete with dormer windows, a parapet and two impressive chimney stacks finely finishing the façade of this beautifully presented building. Upon entering, a number of key features can be seen, most notably an imposing drawing room that spans the width of the first floor with 3 windows, a formal dining room laid out on the ground floor, a spacious master bedroom suite arranged on the second and a generously-sized private garden to the rear. It is enriched with character and exudes elegance. The house enjoys historic views at the front over the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the gardens of Westminster School. Historical Background Great College Street was laid out from c.1720, along the old south boundary of Thorney Island, still defined on the north side by the stone wall of c.1374-6 to the Abbey Garden. The south side mixes early 18th century houses and early 20th century houses and offices. Previous Occupants and Owners The earliest occupants were members of a family named Dwyer. Thomas Dwyer, a City merchant who traded with Russia, and owned Great College Street in 1744. In the course of time it passed from the Dwyers, possibly by marriage to William Peace in 1813. Before 1824, Great College Street was then known simply as 'College Street'. Still available at ListedBuy!
