Situated just behind the River Thames, adjacent to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, this four / five-bedroom maisonette with garage is a rare example of a good-sized home in this historic location. It is within striking distance of the City.

The interior of the property was designed by Julian Cowie Architects, who were commissioned to remodel two adjacent brick-built maisonettes and combine them to create a single home in 1998. The completed building adopts the bold geometry, plain surfaces and simple detailing of the original. It is now in need of some updating.

The focus of the property is a double-height reception room, which is overlooked from first-floor level by a galleried study area. The reception gives on to a paved garden / terrace at the front. There is a kitchen with modern fitted units located off the reception, with space for dining.

Also on the ground floor is a separate bedsit (requiring refurbishment), with a kitchenette and an en-suite shower room. This part of the building has its own front door, and could be used as a nanny flat or as guest accommodation. Alternatively, it could potentially be incorporated into the reception room.

The first floor contains four further bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. The property is sold with a separate garage.

Cloysters Green is a development of 1970s housing arranged around a quiet green. The green has direct access to St Katharine Docks, where luxury yachts and historic barges are moored. There is a variety of waterside restauarants, shops and cafés. The house is a ten-minute walk from Wapping High Street and the historic pub The Prospect of Whitby. St Thomas Moore Square is just around the corner, and has
local shops and a Waitrose supermarket.

The area is extremely well-served by public transport. The nearest Underground station is Tower Hill (Circle and District Lines), which is approximately four minutes away on foot. The adjacent Tower Gateway station runs DLR services. Aldgate (Circle and Metropolitan Lines) and Fenchurch Street stations are also within easy reach. There are also Riverbus services from St Katharine’s Pier and Tower Pier.

The City of London is within walking distance of the house to the east. Over the bridge to the south is the Design Museum, City Hall and Borough Market.
