Ferry Street, designed by renowned architects
Stout & Litchfield, rose out of the derelict
industries of the dockyards during the 1970s to
become one of Europe's most architecturally
significant self-build projects.
Perhaps better known for designing New
House, Shipton-Under-Wychwood as featured
in Stanley Kubric's 'A Clockwork Orange', the
architects turned their attention to designing
the three attached luxury riverside houses
between 1976-79, now Grade II listed and one of
which is available for sale.
A six-bedroom house and oubuildings
measuring 5,144 sq ft including: Undercroft,
self-contained annexe flat, and single garage.
This much treasured family home is sold with
potential for further modernisation, remodelling
and refurbishment. The opportunity exists
to turn this post-modern house, back into its
opulent self. The south-facing house is on the
River Thames, has extraordinary views and is
within striking distance of the financial centre of
The City of London and Canary Wharf.
The interior design remains untouched,
displaying many bold original designs popular in
the 1970s (e.g. William Morris and Renee
Macintosh). Some plant and electrics have been
updated in recent years.
Approached through a private gated courtyard
with high yellow stock brick walls. A single
garage parking space is retained in the
ownership. A winding path leads into the
garden, offering a welcome sense of peace and
separation from the bustle of city life.
The entrance hall with separate cloakroom leads
to a ground floor study with shower room and
conservatory. A spiral staircase steps down to an
undercroft, used for wine storage.
On the first floor a landing acts as the centre
point between fully fitted kitchen (with
larder), dual aspect drawing room (with
central fireplace) and dining room, the ideal
arrangement for entertaining. The drawing
and dining rooms have balconies over the
water's edge. The views are stunning, though
large aluminium and timber framed double
glazed windows / sliding doors. This maximises
the availability of natural light and feeling
of connection between internal and external
environments.
A timber staircase continues to the second floor,
with four double bedrooms, two bathrooms
and airing cupboard. The arrangement could
be adapted to an en-suite. A study area is
positioned off the staircase.
A second staircase leads to the third-floor
principal bedroom suite. An open vaulted
lounge has full-width, south-facing roof terrace
with extraordinary views. This room leads onto
a double bedroom, dressing room and en-suite.
A vaulted mezzanine attic storage area has
been used to enhance the sense of height. The
ceilings are slat boarded with adding to the
Scandinavian-style through the interior.
Prominant achitectural features to the exterior
include: Diagonal split pitch apex roof, shape
geometric lines, cross-wall pre-cast concrete
facade and Westmorland Slate tile roof, infused
with triangular clerestory windows.
A separate self-contained annexe has an
open plan kitchen, sitting and dining area,
two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Ideal
accommodation for guests and staff.
