Description

Originally built in 1865 to a design by one of the Victorian era’s most celebrated architects, Sir George Gilbert Scott, responsible forother notable buildings including St Pancras Station in the same
year, the Albert Memorial in Hyde Park and many other important ecclesiastical, educational and private residences. Today it is a fabulous contemporary home finished to a high standard with a
leisure suite including a 10m pool, mezzanine pool terrace area, mezzanine gym, steam room and hot tub. The kitchen is bespoke in rosewood with granite tops, Smeg appliances and a 6 seat breakfast bar. There are Tile Vision tv’s and Spa baths to 2 of the 4 bathrooms, mood lighting and a tranquil and easily managed Japanese themed garden with a covered al fresco dining terrace. The clock tower and period features have been retained resulting in a home which is a wonderful fusion of the old and the new.
