House For Sale £2,750,000
Bermondsey Street, London SE1


Description
Bought in 2005, by the current owners and previously a mismatch of smaller spaces, the yearlong restoration was a collaboration between the owners and architect Toby Wilson, now a Director of Studio Reed, creating an exceptional home to respect the industrial heritage of the original building. The sympathetic refurbishment was undertaken with great care to preserve the still -existing original fixtures and fittings, including the open fireplace in the main living room and the loading platforms outside the house. Whilst playing homage to its industrial past, the restoration included contemporary features such as the design and commission of fitted furniture from the recessed bookcases and hidden storage to the Black Walnut dressing room in the Master bedroom suite.

Of considerable historic note the house is listed in Nicholas Pevsner's definitive guide to British architecture 'The Buildings of England.' Under the heading London 2: South Bermondsey Street:
"The best of the commercial buildings (are) No. 103 with a three centred arch below a gable…."
