Combining the proportions and luxury of a country house with the bustling prime location of London Bridge, this detached house for sale really has 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 landscaped garden with views of the Shard.
The home is a masterpiece of substance and style, offering intriguing design features at every turn. A steel-framed extension to the rear adds a modern, industrial touch and ensures the main living areas are flooded with maximum natural light.
One of the bathrooms has been cleverly designed with walls made of cork – a sustainable material that shields sound. In addition, there is an antique bread oven in the basement, which is a reminder of the house’s fascinating, long history.
Surrounding this historic relic, the lower ground floor offers plenty of versatility. It is currently used as a bedroom, bathroom and utility room, but as it has its own entrance, it could easily be converted into a self-contained, separate apartment.
Designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medalist, the exquisite garden is so tranquil you could easily forget you’re in London – that is, of course, if it weren’t for the uninterrupted views of the Shard. The garden also features a picturesque outbuilding, ideal as a home office or gym.
“This is one of the most exceptional homes I have seen in my ten years as an estate agent,” says Chloe Luxon, sales manager at Savills’ Wapping office. ‘Situated on a large corner plot, this home is the epitome of city meets country. Masterfully designed throughout, this thoroughly modern family home perfectly blends character and style, creating a first-class standard of living, whilst the living room and dining room provide space for entertaining.
“No detail was spared in this family home, and that extends to the private garden. The garden is an inner-city oasis with established plants as well as a fire pit and built-in seating area decorated with fairy lights.”
This property is offered for sale by Savills for £5,000,000.
