Fully renovated to a high standard with a gorgeous character twist, offering two generous bedrooms, hotel-style bathroom, spacious open-plan living and dining, plus a kitchen with gas hob and butler's sink.

Special details such as brushed bronze handles and tapware throughout the penthouse apartment were specifically chosen to be in keeping with the heritage design. Multiple windows let in huge amounts of natural light and spacious views.

This heritage building was originally built for the YMCA in 1913 by GW Alsop.

Renowned architect Richard Priest added a floor in the 90s and converted the building into 32 freehold apartments plus shops and restaurants at basement level. The upgraded building was a finalist in the 1993 BOMA awards.

Building amenities include a sauna, spa pool and roof terrace, ideal for a BBQ or gathering with friends.
