The townhouse measuring 2,771sqft rising like a Phoenix out of the flames of one of London’s darker historic pasts! Built in 1860 on the historic site of the Elizabethan bear-baiting pits, as mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diaries, this stunning double-fronted four-bedroom residence has a quiet position just steps from London’s Southbank.

The area’s most prominent townhouses remain highly sought after owing to their proximity to The City of London, Tate Modern, Borough Market and Shakespeare’s own Globe Theatre.

The property has undergone substantial redevelopment, modernisation and conversion to residential use, turning a previously industrial building into a luxurious residence. Pepys’ House is sold leasehold with 236 years unexpired.

The original commercial space provided the perfect platform for a house of scale and character. The introduction of soft contemporary design styling has created a sophisticated, yet comfortable home ideal for entertaining or relaxed family living.

A staircase leads to the second floor and principal reception with open plan kitchen/reception/dining room measuring 11.95m x 8.31m.

This beautiful open vaulted room is ideal for entertaining. Its ceiling is braced by solid oak timber beams, adding scale and height to the space. A central glazed lantern floods the room with natural light. To one side is an external courtyard terrace measuring 4.75m x 2.21m with raised planters and timber slat boarding adding an organic feel to this pleasant micro-environment.

The stylish contemporary kitchen is equipped with five bar gas hob, sink with drainer, double oven, fridge freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and regulated wine fridge. The kitchen provides the perfect platform to cook and entertain, overlooking the dining area and comfortable sitting area.

In all, this is a tremendous central London home, ideally suited for professionals, families and investors.
