Factory Feel
Hope wharf is a wonderfully preserved, converted grade 2 listed warehouse building which includes private parking and accessed via priavte gates in the London borough of Southwark and within walking distance of Tower Bridge, London Bridge and the city. It’s placed neatly in the centre of Rotherhithe Village an “off the beaten track” kind of place.

Lofty Looks
The 1400 sq. ft apartment is a marvellous historic space occupying the top floor thats just enjoyed a comprehensive redecoration that includes fresh carpeting. Character and light fill the two bedrooms, large living room, kitchen and bathroom all of which is sat under vaulted ceilings exposed with wooden beams. Unquestionably though, one of the outstanding features is the generous roof terrace with its unspoilt views of the river Thames and further upstream to the urban landscape which takes in the Shard, Tower Bridge and across the river to the bright lights of the City of London. It really is a textbook example of cool riverside living.

Historic Notes
It’s primarily a residential district made up of converted industrial buildings.
Built around 1810, Hope (sufferance) Wharf started life as a grain warehouse and subsequently a coal yard, craft work studio and the home of glass blower, Peter Layton. The sufferance term was associated with this and a small group of warehouses along the river which took in goods with a lower duty value. The listing status was gained around 1982 whilst the conversion to award winning residential property was completed in 1999 by architects Hawkins Brown and property developers London Town plc
Just walking the surrounding area and it’s easy to be seduced by the wonderfully preserved period architecture that give it such atmosphere.
