One of London’s most iconic attractions is the Cutty Sark, which has been dry docked in Greenwich for the past 70 years. The ship was one of the fastest tea clippers ever built and has just celebrated its 155th birthday.
And now there is a chance to move next door to do it.
Winkworth is selling a pretty Georgian house overlooking the ship and its museum. The grade II listed stucco fronted four-storey townhouse was built around 1840.
The property has been extensively remodelled with a stylish kitchen with range cooker and American sized fridge freezer, and a granite worktop.
An adjacent dining room adds to the distinctive feel.
It is thought that the terrace of houses was originally built to house naval officers and their families who were studying at Greenwich Naval College.
The house is arranged over four floors and remains an ideal place for family accommodation.
There is a wood burning stove in the family room, which has a striking naval theme.
There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floors, including a master suite on the top floor with direct views of the Naval College.
A feature of the property is a landscaped garden which was altered by the current owners to create an access via French Windows directly from the kitchen and family area on the lower level.
The house is a short walk from the Cutty Sark DLR, Greenwich pier and the historic Greenwich market, shops, restaurants and bars, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Price: £1.3m no chain.
