'You can use three bedrooms and the fourth can become a study and you can have one or two reception rooms depending on how you want to use the space,' says John Waters from Knight Frank's new Chelsea office. Mr Waters also points out that as the majority of properties in London are now 'overwhelmingly beige, it is interesting to see a quirky home with odd-shaped rooms and reclaimed pieces. It is eco-friendly too, he adds. ' The property has 83 years remaining on the lease and is on offer for a guide price of £1.35 million. * Search for prime property for sale in London
