In the past, water was pressed into a 300-kilometer-long pipe system here. Then the plant was converted into apartments. One is now on the market and by London standards it’s not even expensive.
Everything was better before! That’s not true, but in terms of architecture maybe it is. An apartment is available in London. It is located in an old pumping station of the waterworks. The functional building from 1902 looks more attractive than many of today’s residential buildings. The old building is now a listed building. Until 1977, the London Hydraulic Power Company station supplied almost 300 kilometers of piping. During the redesign, essential elements of the old facility were retained. For example the oversized arched windows and the high iron roof beams.
Preserved old charm
On the ground floor is the entrance hall, next to it is a utility room. Here is also the large bedroom with bathroom, and a large living and dining room. Behind is the kitchen. The second bedroom with a smaller shower room is located on the upper floor. Next to this is a study that could also be converted into a third bedroom. The apartment has its own underground parking space. And of course the view of the Thames. Parents children rent
160 sqm for two people
Robin Chalk of brokerage firm Anderson Rose said the property was owned by a working couple who were moving for family reasons. “This is a truly stunning apartment full of original features. With its excellent location and transport links from Canada Water Station I think it is perfect for a single professional or a couple looking for a cool and remarkable place to live. I could also imagine it would suit an older couple who want to live somewhere well connected and close to the river.”
The living space is 160 square meters, the apartment will cost 1.4 million pounds, which is about 1.65 million euros.
