42 All Saints forms part of a stunning Berkeley Homes development, in 2008, of the former All Saints hospital, originally built between 1867-1874 to the designs of Henry Woodyer and featuring a wealth of Gothic architectural detail, and offers over 3,000 sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, sensitively combining modern amenities with features including some mullioned sash glazing, high ceilings with ornate cornicing and deep skirting boards.
