Pump House, Canada Water, SE16

Perched on the top floors of a converted Power Station is this super rare penthouse with impressive vaulted ceilings and an industrial feel.

The London Hydraulic Power Company built this incredible building in 1902, as one of several water pump houses providing electricity to a growing London. In 2000 the building was turned into a private, secure, gated residential development one minute's walk from Canada Water station with Jubilee Line and Overground services.

This unique duplex offers 1046 square feet, spread over two floors. The main entrance is on the upper floor, which opens into the outstanding open plan kitchen reception room with natural light penetrating from the windows on both sides, highlighting the double height vaulted ceilings with exposed metal ceiling struts. The industrial staircase takes you down to the living quarters where you have two great sized double bedrooms, the principle having an en-suite bathroom, and guest bathroom, and plenty of storage.

The property is being offered to the market chain free, comes with its own private underground parking space and is positioned on the west side of the building so benefits from views towards the City.

Beyond the apartment’s walls, the location offers a unique blend of calm and connectivity. Set within a peaceful, gated enclave near the riverside, the development offers privacy and a sense of retreat. Yet Canada Water station, with fast links via the Jubilee Line and London Overground, is just a minute’s walk away, placing the City, Canary Wharf, and the West End all within easy reach.

Canada Water itself is a neighbourhood on the rise. With its network of canals, leafy parks, and a growing selection of restaurants, cafés, and markets, it has emerged as one of South East London’s most desirable areas. Significant investment continues to transform the area, including a landmark regeneration project and a new leisure centre set to open.
