    About this property

    • This unique first floor apartment extends to some 1,288 sq ft and is situated at the front of this historic building overlooking open greensward. The property has many notable period features including a ridge clock set within a tower and a series of deep windows providing light-filled accommodation.

      Entrance with concierge provides a welcoming entrance and in turn leads to a staircase to the first floor. The apartment has an impressive reception hall spanning the entire length of the apartment including high ceilings which extend throughout the property. The principal bedrooms and living room are orientated to overlook the front and open greensward and include deep windows, high ceilings and wooden floors. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room whilst the adjoining living room contains an original period fireplace. The second bedroom and remainder of the accommodation is serviced by a principal bathroom with wash hand basin and WC. At the rear of the property is a modern kitchen which includes an oven, hob and hood and is finished with wooden flooring. This is open plan to a utility area and a dining room. From the hall a steep set of wooden stairs rises to a useful room which has been used as a study or occasional bedroom and features some large Gothic-style windows. A further steep set of stairs rises into the clock tower and from here there are far-reaching views over the London skyline. A large cabinet houses the workings for the original clock, providing a fascinating insight into the origins of this property.
