Located on Edith Cavell Way in SE18, the property is being marketed by Tanya Baker & Co and features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two reception rooms.

The estate agent describes the property as “a truly remarkable family home” and highlights the “360° panoramic views from the top floor observation deck”.

According to the estate agent, the building has been “painstakingly transformed into an extraordinary residence” while preserving its original Victorian charm.

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

The estate agent says the tower was once topped with a lead-lined cast-iron tank, but this has been replaced by a glass viewing deck.

The deck features a glass-walled sitting room and a wraparound balcony, which the agent says offers “breathtaking 360-degree views of London”.

The current arrangement, as described by the estate agent, places bedrooms on the third, fourth, and sixth floors, with a bathroom on the fifth, a kitchen on the seventh, and a boiler room on the eighth.

The top floor is dedicated to the observation deck.

At the base of the tower is a two-storey pavilion constructed from glass and steel.

The pavilion’s ground floor has an open-plan layout, with a kitchen and a living/dining space that is described as “light-filled”.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms—one with a four-piece ensuite bathroom—a separate shower room, and a utility room.

A covered bridge connects the pavilion to the main tower, creating what the estate agent calls a “remarkable transition between the old and the new”.

Gated parking is available at the rear of the property, leading onto landscaped gardens that wrap around the building.

The estate agent says the home “looks out over Woolwich Common and as a result, feels almost rural”, despite its urban location.

Transport links are described by the agent as “very well connected”, with the DLR from Woolwich Arsenal providing access to Canary Wharf and Bank.

The new Elizabeth Line from Woolwich offers routes to Liverpool Street, Paddington, and Bond Street.

The area’s position between Greenwich, Woolwich, and Blackheath means there are independent shops and various places to eat nearby.

The property has attracted media attention and, according to the estate agent, has been featured in TV shows and publications such as The Architects Journal, Building Design, The Evening Standard, Time Out, and The Times.

The estate agent describes the home as “a left-field choice” and suggests that a “head for heights” is needed to enjoy the observation deck.

The property is offered as a freehold, with an EPC rating of D.

Interested parties are invited to arrange a private viewing through Tanya Baker & Co.
