5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Knight Frank is delighted to present this exceptional five-bedroom semi-detached family townhouse, nestled in one of London's most vibrant and historic locations—moments from the iconic Borough Market, Borough Yards, and the River Thames. If you want London, this is it.

Once part of the former Anchor Brewery, this unique home—marked by its striking "ghost sign"—has been masterfully reimagined by its interior designer owner. The result is a residence that blends heritage character with modern haute design.

Behind secure gates, you're welcomed into a Bisazza-tiled ground floor featuring a bespoke eat-in kitchen with premium fittings, including a Rangemaster cooker and boiling water tap. A formal dining room, illuminated by sculptural lighting, flows into a steel-framed extension with views of the lush garden. Open-plan spaces and original sash windows bathe the interiors in morning sunlight and golden evening hues.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a classic Georgian reception room and an additional family lounge. Bedrooms are arranged across the upper levels, offering impressive City skyline views. A guest or au pair suite is located on the lower ground floor. The principal suite boasts a feature fireplace and a beautifully designed bathroom with rainfall shower, while a playful mezzanine enhances one of the bedrooms. The guest room includes a stylish ensuite showcasing a preserved original bread oven.

A separate garden studio provides the ideal home office or creative retreat. The award-winning garden—crafted by Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medalists—is a true urban sanctuary. With mature planting, built-in wooden seating, a leafy canopy, aromatic herb beds, and a multi-use fire pit/barbecue, it's the perfect space to unwind. Subtle accent lighting sets the mood, and a view of The Shard completes this extraordinary London backdrop.

Take Courage House is perfectly positioned in one of London's most storied and atmospheric neighbourhoods. With the renowned Borough Market quite literally on the doorstep, and the vibrant Borough Yards just moments away, residents enjoy unrivalled access to some of the capital's most acclaimed culinary destinations, including Camille, Kolae, and Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse.

Steeped in culture and history, the surrounding area includes landmarks such as Southwark Cathedral, the Thames Path, Shakespeare's Globe, the Oxo Tower, and Tate Modern. Exceptional connectivity is offered by several nearby stations—London Bridge, Cannon Street, Blackfriars, Borough, and Waterloo—while the Millennium Footbridge provides a direct and scenic route across the river to the City.
