Merging the proportions and luxury of a country home with the bustling prime location of London Bridge, this family home for sale really does have it all.
Aptly named ‘Take Courage’, it comprises two formal dining rooms, a bespoke kitchen/diner, two reception rooms, five spacious double bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a beautifully designed garden that overlooks the Shard.
The home boasts substance and style, with intriguing design features at every turn. A steel-framed extension to the rear gives a modern, industrial twist to the space and allows maximum natural light to flood the key living areas.
One of the bathrooms has been ingeniously designed with walls made from cork — a sustainable material that helps to block sound. What’s more, the lower ground floor houses an antique bread oven, which gives a nod to the intriguing, extensive history of the house.
Surrounding this vintage relic, the lower ground floor offers ample versatility. It’s currently used as a bedroom, bathroom, and utility room, but as it has its own entrance, it could easily be modified to become a self-contained, separate apartment.
The exquisite garden was designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist and is so tranquil that you could easily forget you’re in London. That is, of course, if it wasn’t for the uninterrupted view of the Shard. The garden also sports a quaint outbuilding, which would make an ideal home office or gym.
‘This is one of the most exceptional homes I’ve seen in my 10 years as an agent,’ says Chloe Luxon, head of sales in the Savills Wapping office. ‘Situated on a large corner plot, this home is the very epitome of city meets country. Masterfully crafted throughout, this family home perfectly combines character with style, creating a first-class standard of living, while the living room and dining room offer space to entertain.
‘No detail has been overlooked in this family home and this extends into the private garden. An inner-city oasis, the garden features established planting as well as a fire pit and built-in seating area that’s decorated with festoon lighting.’
This property is on the market for £5,000,000 with Savills.
