If proximity to a train station is one of your property must-haves, this picture-perfect pad is sure to be right up your street train track. Because it isn’t just near the station. It’s in the station. And the station in question? None other than St Pancras International.
That’s right, folks. This rather gorgeous gaff has recently landed on London’s property market – and it comes complete with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and one of the capital’s best-connected train stations on its doorstep. Not bad, hey?
The penthouse is located inside the St Pancras Chambers; one of the world’s most magnificent examples of Victorian Gothic Architecture. The Grade I listed building was designed by George Gilbert Scott and originally opened in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel. It’s now up for sale with the property pros over at Sotheby’s – and could be yours for the taking. Well, if you happen to have a spare £7.5 million kicking about, that is…
Inside the property
The breathtakingly beautiful abode spans almost 6000 square-feet across three floors, and boasts history and charm by the carriage-load. On the top floor, the open plan living space is dazzling, dramatic, and utterly delightful – with original Victorian beams and joists, outrageously high ceilings, and its very own bar. The floors below is where you’ll find the three bedrooms (the largest of which comes complete with a dressing room, and en-suite, and a private study), the bathrooms, the kitchen, and – wait for it – the self-contained staff quarters. Blimey.
The building itself offers residents 24-hour concierge, access to the amenities at the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, two private parking spaces, the satisfaction of living in one of London’s most beautiful buildings, and – of course – the unrivalled feeling of knowing that you’re never going to miss a train again.
