It’s A Sign
Look up to the house’s famous ghost sign for your daily reminder to ‘Take Courage’, because this townhouse was built in 1820 for the owners of the historic Anchor Brewhouse, brewers of Courage beer. By the 19th century Anchor was the largest brewery in the world.
Period Charm
Do ornate fireplaces warm your heart? This Georgian house is awash with gorgeous period features from heritage hearths and brickwork to original sash windows. There’s even an antique bread oven incorporated into the stylish design of the guest bathroom in the basement.
A Muse House
The creative studio behind Borough Yard, the shopping and dining destination housing culinary heavyweights Barrafina and Vinoteca in the railway bridges opposite the London House, cite this much-loved Townhouse as a key influence in the development’s industrial chic aesthetic.
Bisazza Pizzazz
To grace the sunshine yellow Bisazza tiles that enliven the house’s entire ground floor is to step into a world of luxury favoured by Pucci, Bulgari, Guerlain and a long list of other fashion houses, designers and artists who’ve collaborated with the trailblazing Italian mosaic makers.
