Tanya Baker presents a remarkable nine-storey converted Victorian water tower on Edith Cavell Way, SE18, listed for £1,750,000. Originally built in the 1890s for a hospital, it now boasts modern luxury. The property retains its historical essence, featuring restored brickwork and terracotta mouldings. The home is split into two parts: a sleek glass-and-steel pavilion with a spacious kitchen and living area, and the historic tower with a unique layout of bedrooms and bathrooms, culminating in an impressive glass-walled observatory offering panoramic views of the city.
This unique property, listed at a guide price of 1,750,000, combines historical charm with modern luxury, offering panoramic views of London from its glass-walled observatory.
The imposing brick structure once housed a lead-lined cast-iron water tank at its summit, an essential component of the hospital's water supply system.
Upstairs, the pavilion includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. This side of the home is west-facing, so look at that gorgeous afternoon sunlight.
At the top is the crown jewel: a glass-walled observatory with a wraparound balcony. I can only imagine what it's like to spend time up here on fireworks night or New Years Eve.
