2 Bed Apartment For Sale

This exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette offers a rare chance to own a home in one of South London’s most sought-after period squares, moments from Borough Station. Situated within a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of the Trinity Church Square Conservation Area, the property is steeped in history, offering both character and modern living in equal measure.

Trinity Church Square, with its origins dating back to the early 19th century, was developed as one of the most prestigious residential areas in South London. Originally part of land owned by the Corporation of Trinity House since 1661, the square was once used for market gardening before urban development took hold in the 1810s. Officially laid out between 1824 and 1832, the square was designed around the Holy Trinity Church, which was completed in 1824. Today, the church, known as the Henry Wood Hall, serves as a rehearsal venue for the London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestras. The square’s buildings were constructed according to strict architectural guidelines, ensuring a uniform and elegant composition that remains intact to this day.

The maisonette itself occupies the raised ground floor and ground floor of a handsome townhouse, combining original Georgian detailing with contemporary finishes. With its own private entrance, the property also benefits from a west-facing rear garden, perfect for outdoor living. Inside, the home retains an abundance of period features, including high ceilings, ornate mouldings, large sash windows, shutters, and carved marble fireplaces. The two reception rooms offer generous space and natural light, with views over the historic Henry Wood Hall and its formal gardens, which are open to residents of the square. These tranquil gardens are dotted with mature London plane trees, creating a serene environment for residents to enjoy.

The kitchen is designed with both style and functionality in mind, offering modern fittings while maintaining the period charm of the home. The two bedrooms are well proportioned, with built-in wardrobes in the primary bedroom providing ample storage. Both bathrooms, one ensuite, are bright and well-appointed, benefiting from natural light through carefully placed windows.

Trinity Church Square’s residents enjoy exclusive access to the beautifully planted gardens at its centre, along with the additional green spaces in nearby Merrick Square. These private gardens are surrounded by cast-iron railings and feature mature trees, vibrant flowerbeds, and a historic statue believed to date back to the 2nd century.

The location is perfect for those who want to be close to the heart of London’s cultural and culinary scene. Borough Market, just a short walk away, is renowned for its diverse food offerings, with stalls from Monmouth Coffee, Neal’s Yard Dairy, and a wide variety of independent traders. To the west, Bermondsey Street is home to some of London’s finest restaurants and bars, including 40 Maltby Street, Casse-Croute, WatchHouse Coffee, and the famed St. John Bakery. For evening drinks, Lant Street Wine and The Roebuck are both nearby.

The South Bank, with its cultural institutions like Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and White Cube, is also within easy reach, as are the surrounding green spaces of Tabard Gardens, Leathermarket Gardens, and Hankey Place Gardens. The property benefits from excellent transport links, with Borough Station (Northern Line) just five minutes away, and London Bridge (Jubilee, Northern, and National Rail) a 14-minute walk. The City of London can be reached in under 20 minutes by foot, making this an ideal base for both work and leisure.
