6 bedrooms House in West Square, London SE11
A rare and particularly special opportunity to acquire an elegant six-bedroom Georgian Grade II Listed family house, complete with an impressive rear garden and private garage to the rear. The house is located within the West Square Conservation Area and measures over 3700 SQ/FT in total. The house is entered on the raised ground floor via an impressive flight of steps, leading into an elegant entrance hall. To the front is the dining room, directly overlooking West Square and featuring beautiful floor-to-ceiling sash windows with original shutters, wooden floors and a fireplace. To the rear is the kitchen and breakfast room, enjoying fantastic views over the garden as well as direct access outside. Occupying the front of the first floor is a magnificent drawing room of particularly generous proportions, with wonderfully high ceilings and three enormous sash windows flooding the room with natural light. Full of period charm and character, this is one of the standout rooms of the house. To the rear is a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The second floor provides two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family shower room. Both bedrooms benefit from an adjoining room, providing useful additional storage and offering potential for the creation of further bathroom facilities, subject to the necessary consents. Two further bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the third and final floor. The larger rear bedroom spans the full width of the house and benefits from ample built-in storage. The front bedroom is currently arranged as a study but would work equally well as an additional bedroom. On the lower ground floor, a superb family room sits to the rear and provides a relaxed and versatile living space, with two sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden. There is also a useful utility room and separate guest WC, while at the front is another generous bedroom with a fireplace and an adjacent shower room. The lower ground floor also benefits from its own access from the front of the house. The mature rear garden can be accessed from both the raised and lower ground floors and extends to nearly 37 feet. Immediately behind the house is a paved patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading down to the main garden beyond. At the rear is a private garage, providing parking for one car as well as useful additional storage. Council Tax Band: H.

6 bedrooms House in George Mathers Road, London SE11
Rising around 100 feet above Kennington, The Water Tower is one of central London's most recognisable buildings. Its Venetian Gothic brickwork dates from the 1860s, when it supplied water to the neighbouring Lambeth Workhouse, where a young Charlie Chaplin once lived. Rescued from dereliction and converted under the eye of Kevin McCloud for Grand Designs' 100th episode, it is now a remarkable family-sized home that pairs Victorian engineering with contemporary design. The accommodation unfolds vertically, linked by an original York stone staircase and a separate lift tower with glazed bridges. Five double bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged across the tower's floors, each with its own character, thick masonry walls and tall arched windows. At ground level, a glass and steel extension known as the Cube provides lateral living space. It holds an open-plan kitchen and reception room with full-height sliding glass doors, and a roof terrace sits above. The crowning feature is the prospect room, created within the original cast-iron water tank. With openings on every side, it frames panoramic views across Westminster, the London Eye, the city, the Shard and Canary Wharf, making it a living or dining space without equal in the capital.
