Water Tower – London Style
The Water Tower, Edith Cavell Way, London (c) 2014 David Hatch.
As is usually the case – property included within the try-before-you-buy section of the Unique Property Bulletin – is NOT for sale. Our endeavour is to provide a sample, and actual experience of what it would be like to live in any particular genre of unusual abode for our readers to possibly call home in the future. This specific listing is for a short-stay break.
This week’s offering is a medium term rental property at a smartly converted water tower in London. Not quite the same style as last week’s TBYB Water Tower, and this is to lease as a home rather than holidays, but what a place to live. Even just for a while.
There is even a dedicated website …
http://www.londonwatertower.com/
Owner’s Narrative: The 130 foot tower was built in 1896 and now, along with the modern pavilion building alongside, offers luxury accommodation with spacious living areas, 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a rooftop observatory all close to Greenwich and within easy reach of Central London. Perfect for Canary Wharf, easy access to City Airport and the motorway to Europe.
One recent occupant wrote …
“I am still telling all of our friends here in the US that I could read the time on Big Ben on a clear day from the top of the Tower with my binoculars”
Location: The Water Tower, Edith Cavell Way, London, SE18 4JY.
Tenure: Assured Shorthold Tenancy – Usually 6 Month Tranches.
Guide: £1,038 per week – Sorry It’s The Price Of Living In London – Though In A Lot Of Style !
