Odessa Street, London, SE16

A converted warehouse apartment along the River Thames.

Description

A truly exceptional two-bedroom apartment set along the South Bank of the River Thames in historic Rotherhithe. Originally constructed around 1810, this remarkable building is considered one of the oldest surviving on the Rotherhithe Peninsula. In 1999, architects Fletcher Priest and Torben Rix transformed the former warehouse into striking homes and apartments, a project that went on to win a RIBA Housing Design Award in 2000.

The property is arranged over two levels. The ground floor offers an inviting entrance hall, a modern kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom, and a second bedroom. From here, an elegant staircase rises to the first floor where you’ll find a spacious reception room, shower room, and the principal bedroom. Within the reception area, a dramatic spiral staircase ascends to an extraordinary observation tower – a unique retreat with far-reaching views of the Thames.

The apartment combines original character with contemporary living. Exposed brickwork throughout highlights its warehouse heritage, while a vaulted ceiling with timber beams and skylights adds drama and light. The upgraded kitchen, bathroom, and shower room provide a stylish, modern finish, complementing the building’s historic charm.

Residents also benefit from access to a beautifully designed communal space on the roof of the development. This includes a generous shared balcony with impressive views towards the Thames and Canary Wharf, as well as an internal lounge area with kitchenette and W/C – ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
