This standout Shad Thames apartment is a one-of-a-kind space, originally designed as two separate homes but now transformed into a sprawling first-floor residence spanning an impressive 2,382 sq ft.

The vast double reception room is a showstopper, bathed in natural light and designed for both grand entertaining and laid-back lounging. Two sets of doors enhance the flow, these bi-folding doors lead out to a southwest-facing terrace—an ultra-private spot perfect for al fresco dining and sunset drinks. A guest WC, stylish library wall, and dedicated study area complete this striking living space.

Both bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, fitted with built-in wardrobes, while the principal suite boasts a sleek en-suite shower room. The recently updated kitchen features a range cooker, and a separate utility room sits at the opposite end of the corridor for added convenience. There's also a second bathroom with a walk-in shower and an additional utility room tucked away at the rear.

The large, expansive space offers endless potential and can be adapted to suit a wide range of needs. Architectural drawings are available upon request, illustrating how the layout can be reconfigured into a three-bedroom home with ease. All alterations are, of course, subject to the necessary permissions and consents.

Practicality meets luxury with two large, secure parking spaces included—an enviable perk in this sought-after riverside neighbourhood. The building also benefits from a secure bike storage facility.

The Boathouse is an exclusive boutique development of just eight apartments, nestled in a sought-after Shad Thames location along the historic riverfront. A fantastic selection of bars and restaurants, including Michelin-starred Restaurant Story, are just moments away, with Bermondsey Street's vibrant hotspots also within easy reach.

Residents enjoy excellent connectivity, with London Bridge, Tower Hill, and Tower Gateway stations all nearby, while many choose to stroll across Tower Bridge for an easy walk into the City
