Crosby Row, London, SE1

Built in the late eighteenth century as number 7 Crosby Row, The Whitesmith’s Arms operated as a pub since at least 1842. Spanning the reign of six monarchs, two World wars and swathes of change throughout the area (indeed, in 1895 the number of the building changed from 7 to 37 due to building works on the road); you are looking at a real piece of London’s history.

The property was developed to an impeccable standard in 2014 and purchased by the current owners who have only added to the splendour of this fine freehold property.

A truly unique proposition within SE1; you aren’t just purchasing a house when you obtain Whitesmith’s House but rather a lifestyle. Within five minutes’ walk there is Bermondsey Street with its vast array of independent shops, bars and restaurants, the World-famous Borough Market, the Shard, Guys Hospital and transport links via London Bridge station.

The property itself is accessed via secure, key free entry and you are immediately struck by the space as you enter the flowing, open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen with smart glass doors separating the former from the latter. The kitchen boasts all of the modern appliances one would expect from a kitchen of this magnitude including Siemens oven and microwave oven, Gaggenau hob, American fridge-freezer and an undercounter wine fridge. However, if you are a particular fan of wines; there are also two large built-in wine fridges in the dining area. The kitchen opens via complete bi-folding doors to the stunning garden (formerly the beer garden) which is laid to patio.
