You’ll Need A Love For Heights To Enjoy The 360° Panoramic Views From The Top Floor Observation Deck. With a state of the art two storey pavilion at the base and a room in each of the water tower’s seven floors, this is a truly remarkable family home.

Originally built in the 1890’s to serve the nearby Brook Fever Hospital, this Victorian water tower has been painstakingly transformed into an extraordinary residence. 

Standing tall at around 40 meters (approximately 130 feet), this nine-storey structure offers a one-of-a-kind living experience unlike any other.

The tower, once crowned with a lead-lined cast-iron tank, now has a glass viewing deck, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of London. 

Imagine enjoying your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the city or hosting unforgettable parties set against a unique panoramic backdrop.

The original charm and structure of the brick tower has been carefully preserved. 

The brickwork has been meticulously cleaned, and damaged terracotta mouldings have been faithfully rebuilt.  

Arrow-slit windows add a touch of historical character, while a hydraulic lift provides convenient access to all floors, including the tower-top observatory.

By way of contrast, the two-storey glass and steel pavilion at the base of the tower is thoroughly modern.

The ground floor of the pavilion has an open plan layout with a spacious and well-equipped kitchen and a light-filled living / dining space.

Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms (one with a gorgeous four piece ensuite bathroom), a stylish shower room and a handy utility room.

A covered bridge connects the pavilion to the tower, creating a remarkable transition between the old and the new.

Inside the tower, each of the seven floors offers a dedicated space, allowing for flexible use and customisation to suit your needs.  

The room-stacking design, reminiscent of the tower's industrial past, adds to the quirky and unique character of this one-of-a-kind home.  

It’s currently laid out with bedrooms on the 3rd, 4th and 6th floors, with a bathroom on the 5th, a kitchen on the 7th and the boiler room on the 8th.

The top floor is home to the observation deck, with a stunning glass walled sitting room and a wraparound balcony for if you’re feeling brave.

This exceptional property has been featured in numerous TV shows and publications, including The Architects Journal, Building Design, The Evening Standard, Time Out and The Times. 

There’s gated parking at the rear, which leads onto the beautifully landscaped gardens that wrap around the property.

The Water Tower looks out over Woolwich Common and as a result, feels almost rural.

But it’s very well connected, with the DLR from Woolwich Arsenal offering easy access into Canary Wharf and Bank and the new Elizabeth Line from Woolwich running to Liverpool Street, Paddington and Bond Street.

The position between Greenwich, Woolwich and Blackheath means you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to independent shops and interesting places to eat.

This is definitely a left-field choice and you’ll need a head for heights to enjoy this inspiring family home - it’s certainly not your average Victorian family home!

Don't miss the opportunity to own this unique piece of London's history - call to arrange a private viewing.
